Give us this day our daily bread
When I hear the words “food distribution” in a Haiti news report, my mind flashes to news photos of mobs of desperate people crushing each other to reach the limited amount of food.
What a contrast in this report from Callebasse, Haiti!
Look at the pictures. People desperately hungry, but waiting patiently. A list of the most needy, so they can receive food first. Then food left over. Church members will be hungry again soon. Shall the church save it against that day?
No. Their neighbors are hungry too. So the extra food is entrusted to church members so they can fan out into the community with daily bread in the name of the Bread of Life.
Will it make a difference in this community that the life-sustaining gift was received via the hands of the church? Lord, make your name sweet in Callebasse.
I heart the same prayer…

But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God
May the world see the glory of God and KNOW that it is Him we serve as they see our love for our neighbors and one another…
