Dr. Jean
Dorlus wrote in Curriculum Development
for Social Transformation , “Although there is a place for serious research
to undergird practice in Christian service, the Christian worker relies
primarily on the leading of the Spirit to receive a vision and to implement
it. In other words, we do not call the
shots, God does. It means that we wait
to find out where God is working in order to follow him there and to work as he
commands. It is at this very juncture
where a life of prayer and dependence upon God’s guidance reveals itself all
the more important in Christian service.”
As the
second Haiti Summit approaches in September, please be in prayer for God to
lead and us to follow. Pray for real
lasting change in Haiti, and real lasting change in the United States because
of work in Haiti.
Dr. Dorlus
also wrote, “The implication is then clear: social transformation is not the
work of clever Christians with fertile mind, sparing no expense. It is God’s work. If it were the work of man for man’s glory,
it would not differ from the social gospel of a few generations ago.”
We want to be
part of God’s work. We want to glorify
Him. God has given a vision to the Haiti
Consortium as a result of Haitians and Americans joining in prayer,
conversation, and cooperation. The
results will be transformed lives. This
requires much ongoing prayer from many.
Will you take up the challenge to pray for the Haiti Consortium?
