I received word today that one of my roommates from college is heading to Haiti. The year that we lived together, I rarely saw Kevin. He had a part time job as a phlebotomist [the people who stick you for an IV] at one of the local hospitals. When Kevin was not working, he was in the library studying. I was always amazed that he could spend the entire day at the library on a Saturday.
Why was Kevin so dedicated to studying? Kevin had a dream of becoming a doctor.
That dream came true for Kevin, and now that calling has led him to bring healing and hope to the people of Haiti.
When I received word this morning about Kevin’s trip, I couldn’t help but think about all those hours he invested so long ago.
Here’s just a small portion of what Kevin shared about his recent trip.
We are excited for all that God wants to do in comforting the people of Haiti and revealing His love to them. May His Kingdom come more fully in the wake of this devastation. I prayed for God to give me His heart of compassion for the people there, and as I was weeping at World Mandate, He gave me the sense that no one is hurting more than Him for the people of Haiti. I don’t feel that I have much to offer, but am thrilled at the opportunity to trust Him and allow Him to work through me. Please pray that I would not grow weary in doing good, and that I would present the Gospel clearly to the all, especially to the hearts God already has been working in to respond to His love and salvation. I am in a desperate place for Him as it should be!
I appreciate your prayers for my friend Kevin.
