From Marc: Heading back to Haiti Feb 3

Marc... Waiting for his flight to leave Haiti. Now he's going back. Read this excerpt from the e-mail he sent to get a sense of what it was like to be there during the earthquake and why he has decided to return.

"It's been the most bizarre and awful 10 days of my life. The earthquake has hit me and my friends and family really hard. Our house may no longer be livable. It has a few cracks here and there, but the strong aftershocks keep happening and I'm sure they weaken the house in some degree every time. Some of my friends have died. One student of mine died. Her house collapsed on her and her mother. Dead bodies lined the streets, so many people had broken bones and smashed skulls. But the worst thing might have been the smell. You can literally smell the death in the streets and among the hurting...

But God is providing, protecting, and helping though. He has performed so many miracles. Well, miracles to us, but miracles are very natural for Him. I'll tell you one quickly. A friend's mission was giving out water from their cistern to whomever needed it. They gave all they could and in a few days it was gone. We all have cisterns to hold our only water in Haiti, it's not like the US. So they went to sleep that night with an empty cistern. The next morning they woke up and checked their cistern and it was full to the brim! Awesome =) Check out Isaiah 33:15-16 to see God's promise on that.
...
I'm in the US right now temporarily. I plan on returning to Haiti in the coming weeks if at all possible. I'm honestly using this time to prepare spiritually to go back...and I need the Faith that God will catch me, and use in the most beneficial ways...When I go back to Haiti, I want to go to everyone that I know and see how I can meet their need. I am going to see how they can at least function during day to day life and get back to some level of normalcy. But most of all, I want to do what I can to make sure that their focus is on the Kingdom that cannot be shaken. That their hope is in Jesus more than the ground beneath their feet. I know God can meet their needs in incredible ways..."
