So excited to read about your trip to Haiti. God has been working on my heart and orphans do it to me everytime. My recent trip to Swazi was filled with joy and heartache all at the same time. My thought was I had loved on these children as much as I could for the time I was there and now I’m gone. What’s going to happen now? God is moving our church and I am so excited to see where He’s taking us….

Thanks for your thoughts, Bob. I agree that children in our own country need us. This is why the NorthRidge Church family is significantly investing in growing our orphan ministry here in our world. As I often say, it would be a crime for us to invest in Haiti and other regions of the world if we weren’t first investing in our own region of the world. With that being said, the reality is that God has not given us liberty to ignore the rest of the world because we have needs in our own community. It’s not an either/or deal. It’s a both/and deal. As Acts 1:8 makes clear, we are to care about and invest in our own community all the way to the uttermost. This is what we’re seeking to do. I also think it’s important to remember that, in America, there is help for the poor that genuinely doesn’t exist in other parts of the world, such as Haiti. While not an excuse for looking past those hurting in our community, it is a reality worth keeping in mind as we seek to reflect our loving God who is not willing that any should perish, 2 Peter 3:9.

Brad, I am so excited about your decision to partner with World Orphans and their “Orphan and Vulnerable Child” program for the children in Haiti! How will we be able to participate/help in this endeavor? As always, I will continue to pray for God to use us to the fullest in reaching out to His precious Haitian children.
