Jesus Sees His Faith

During our layover in Miami, 4 of us grabbed a quick lunch together.  We were sitting at our table eating, when a man at the next table over began asking about our trip.  We shared about the work we would be doing and he spoke encouragement and blessing to us.

As we continued on with lunch, he came over and put $40 on our table.  He told us he wanted to use the money to bless someone on our trip.  We were talking about his generosity when he returned to share his favorite parable.  He recounted the story of the paralytic being lowered through the roof by his friends.  This man talked about how the man was healed by his friend's faith.  He told us that he wanted to be a friend that helped the people of Haiti.

Just when we thought he could not have gotten any more bold in his faith, he returned again and asked to pray over us.  He prayed for God's protection and blessing on our trip.    He prayed that God would go before us and that he would lead us while we were in Haiti.

It was such an encouragement to us before we ever boarded the plane.  A blessing that God uses his people to encourage one another, that God speaks to his people and that the work we are able to do in Haiti is possible due to the prayers and finical support of others.
