Expectations
I walk into a room reach for the switch flipping it on and the room is filled with light. This past week was a reminder that this is not the case in much of the world. A brief interruption of our power brought on by a storm provided a time to pause and reflect. It was only a 4 hour outage with little inconvenience, but what about the food in the fridge and getting a vehicle out of the garage in the morning. What, no hot water and how about cooking, being in an all electric house can cause some concern. Then the reminder that causes reflection. While in Haiti, power is not a given, as a matter of fact you may be fortunate for a few hours a day if at all. You may have a generator but still it needs fuel and even then running it all day... A fridge becomes a place to store goods but probably not to keep them cool. Think for a moment about living without power, not just for a few hours but for the majority of the time. How would this change your life? For our precious neighbors just to our south this is a reality. The Lord has opened doors to help and Marcel does have a generator and an inverter for some worn out batteries that receive a charge pretty much daily from that generator. Would you be interested in providing for a new deep cycle battery? Let us know and we will send you some details.
