Village Bible Church || Aurora | Indian Creek | Sugar Grove | IL

Please remember to pray for David Wood and Emily Sterkel as they spread the love and Gospel of Jesus to the people of Haiti.

From March 6th through the 16th, they will be ministering in Haiti with 7 other Moody Bible Institute students.  They are planning to minister to refugees staying at a ministry compound in Carrefour, the recent earthquake’s epicenter.

Lord willing, they will:

• Provide 16 families with much needed tents (shelter).
• Distribute 2,000 Gospel tracts in Creole (common language).
• Preach translated sermons on both Sundays of our trip.
• Demonstrate Christ’s love through manual labor, construction efforts, and food/water distribution.
• Supply permanent ministry leaders with post-traumatic-stress-disorder education and counseling materials in Creole.
• Bring hope to those we encounter through our prayers, presence, and power of the Holy Spirit.

Additionally, please intercede on the behalf of those in Haiti who need Jesus and have physical needs. Pray that:

• God would use our availability and efforts to demonstrate the saving love of Jesus Christ.
• The message of Jesus Christ would penetrate the needy hearts.
• The Holy Spirit would fill our team and be at work in every opportunity we encounter.
• The physical needs of the people would be met as God desires.
