mark graham…I wanted to take a chance to share a story from a friend…Cameron Mayhill…which will put a bit of perspective behind what we are trying to accomplish or better yet prevent from happening again.

“It is a desperate situation in Haiti.  In November, cholera struck the
Northwest zone.  But, I was here in the United States when I heard the
news.  It was devastating!  Within just a few days, we had lost
several people because of it.  I started working night and day to get
resources to Haiti to help the team.  Everything from oral rehydration
salts to antibiotics was purchase, shipped and delivered.  It wasn’t
enough.  They kept coming and dying.  On November 20, I got a text
message from Curtis Rogers, one of our missionaries.  It simply said,
“Isaiah has died.”  I was crushed.  Isaiah was one of our kids in the
baby orphanage.  He was my buddy.  I met him when he was three days
old weighing 3 lbs. 14 oz.  He was supposed to turn three in Feb
2011.  We are working so hard to get clean water to those that
needed.  We need your help!”

I know that there are so many thing vying for your attention, money, and time but it’s time that we start looking at how to heal the world around us.  We are simply inviting you to be a part of what God is doing in the country of Haiti.  He has already taken a hold of our hearts and we pray that he would take hold of yours.  We need your help in making this happen.  We don’t want another story like this to have to be told.
