Help for Haiti | Prayer Blog

Yes, Lord. Today I pray that Stephen and Nathan would continue to work in your white harvest fields. May they continue to see their work as Your work, and may they be ever mindful of Your saving souls through their good work in Haiti. Keep them safe, Lord, and healthy, and may they continue to glorify You every single day. Thank You for the good rest You give them, and the good food and fellowship. Thank you for the harvest You are reaping through them and in them, and THANK YOU FOR THEIR WORK IN HAITI! THANK YOU FOR SENDING OUR BROTHERS TO HAITI! Show them Your favor today, Lord, and use them to bring salvation to those who want to know You today!

well, Father, Byx has been there long enough for the newness to have worn off. Now it’s all about the people.

As he continues to face the overwhelming need, the incredible damage to the country & her people that hasn’t even been addressed, & as he sees his own finiteness & limitations, both unintentional, & intentional, help him to just depend on You.

Help him to do as You say in Psalm 37:7 “be still in the presence of the Lord & wait for Him to act” Translation: shut up & wait. Help him to be quiet & wait for You to do what You wanna do, rather than him trying to MAKE happen what he thinks You want to have happen.

Guard his heart. Keep him safe. And help him to remember that even though he’s far away, with some people he’s close bc his home is in our hearts.

Thanks, Father, for looking out for him. Protect him from the evil forces so rampant around him – either the temporal ones, or the demonic ones.

Amen…

I want to thank you God for people like Stephen and Nathan, who are not only hearers of thy word but doers. God we all say we want to do your will but most of us just sit idle and wait and do nothing. Thank you for the people who will take the leap of faith and give up anything to do your will. The best sermon is seen not heard. Stephen and Nathan are a good example of that to us. God take care of them and bless them with all they need

I am praying this prayer for Stephen and all the others that are on this mission. I pray that they will stay safe. I pray that when they are sick God will heal them. I pray that when they are sad they will look up to God from where their help comes. I pray that when they are happy they will rejoice in the glory of the Lord. I pray when they miss their family and friends at home they will rest in the comfort of God’s loving arms. I pray that their family and friends at home will rest all their fears and worries in the wonderful peace of God. I pray that they will continue to be a blessing to the people of Haiti and that they will reap many blessings from their journey. In Jesus name Amen

I’m so thankful, Abba, that Byx & Nate are safe, are reasonably still sane, & have begun to settle into a life & routine.

Thank You for how You’re giving them eyes to REALLY see things as they are in Haiti.

Thank You for all the things You’re showing them about themselves.

And thank You for how You are helping & guiding them to be more & more dependent on You for all they need, all they know, & all they can be.

Thank You for the light-hearted servants that they are in a dark & desperate place.

And thank You for what is ahead. May they know the truth that “no matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is the will of God for you who follow Christ Jesus” (1 Thess 5:18 NLT)

Lord – We are soooo amazed at what you are doing through Stephen. You are using this man to carry your word to people who are hurting and need someone to show them your love and compassion. Please give him strength and health to continue this mission you have given him. We are praying that you would continue to protect him and let his willingness to serve be pleasing to you. Bless him Lord today and everyday he is being your feet and hands to these people. We love you Lord!

I know it is not my day to pray but today I must offer a prayer of thanks to God for people like Stephen and all the others who have put their own life on hold to do God’s will. Who without selfishness decided to do what God has impressed them to do. May God keep them safe and happy and when they are down may they realize what a blessing they are to other people. God please shower your many blessings upon them. In Jesus name I pray Amen

Father, I thank you for Stephen and this call you have placed on his life. I pray that you will comfort him on the down days and give him strength to carry on the tasks at hand. And I praise you for the up days! May he blessed with far more good days than down ones. At all times, Lord, I pray he feels your presence! Please keep he and Nathan safe. Help him in his understanding and learning of the language so that his communication with the people will not be a barrier. Help him to always remember that YOU are in control! He is doing a great work and I thank you for the great work that you are doing in him! I pray for a hedge of protection around both he and Nathan and for their families back home. May with each day their faith grow stronger and their love for you deeper! In your precious son’s name, JESUS! Amen.

even tho it’s not my day to pray for these guys, I can’t help it, Father. Thank You for the way they are settling in, learning language, & best of all, loving You children.
guard their hearts, guards their lives, & guard their passion for You.
thank You, thank You, thank you

Today I am praying for you, Stephen, that our Lord would continue to bless you and make His face shine on you. I am praying that you would continue to experience His favor, and that your His work through you in Haiti would be fruitful for His kingdom. May your bathrooms be finished very soon, and may cold showers be refreshing and rejuvenating. May our Lord refill your cup to overflowing every single day, and may He fill you with His strength and hope to pass on to His children. (Yes, I realize this isn’t using my log-in, but I wanted to post something today just in case I can’t find my info. AND, if you meet an 18 year old Haitian girl named Sofia Jean-Francois, PLEASE give her a hug from me! She is my Compassion-sponsored child, and they still have not let me know whether or not she is okay after the quake. Many Blessings!!! I am so happy for what the Lord is doing through you!!!)
