Plan B?


Our original plan for this work and witness trip was really 2-fold.  We were to go and commission the water well we sponsored as well as bring Jesus Film equipment and show the film a few times.  The missionaries already on the ground there told us weeks before that everything was going to plan and the well should be up and running as we show up and we could pray over it, officially commission it and see clean water brought to a village and people that so desperately needs it.

Well the super-storm, or "frankenstorm" if you will, Sandy developed not to far from the Dominican Republic.  While the storm gained strength in preparation to wreak havoc along the east coast of the States, the wind and rain caused damage in an already damaged area.  The last report we received is that the pump for the well has not been able to be turned on because of damage caused to the village.

Our plans have changed.

And we are not quite sure how they have changed yet - we won't till we are on the ground and can get and idea of what needs done and what the people there have been able to accomplish since the storm passed.

While we have done our best to control this trip and do what we felt God had in store for us, we have always understood that God is the one really in control.  We know that God can take bad situations and use them to make his presence and glory known.  And really our main objective hasn't changed and that is to allow God to use us; to use us for His purposes and to be His hands and feet, whatever that may entail.  So here we are God, ready to be used how You see fit.
