What’s in your hand?

Exodus 4:1-20 Moses
1 Samuel 17:38-40 David
John 6:1-15 A Young Boy
God does not require of us what He has not already provided. Some people are called to go to the mission field. Some are called to send them there. You may think in this current economy “I have nothing to give.” God’s economy is not our economy.
A simple staff in Moses’ hand used in obedience to God parted the sea and saved a nation. Five small stones in the hands of a young man when used in obedience took down the giant and the enemy of the Lord our God. A few small fish and loaves of bread when surrendered in obedience to God feed the multitudes. God has placed something in your hand to be surrendered for His use, given in obedience miracles will follow. What is in your hand?
Members of the Liberty Church Community will be part of a team going to Jacmel Haiti in April 2009 on a short term mission trip. This trip will consist of labor to prepare a home for the Mangine family who will become full time missionaries later that month.
When complete Haitian Children’s Home will become home to 160 orphaned or abandoned children. There will be eight homes with 20 children each on a twenty acre plot of land. There will be three schools, a church, a community building, a clinic and a soccer field.
Each member of the mission team must raise $1500.
This is our vision for fund raising. It is three fold.
What is in your hand? What is in your wallet? What is in your heart?
What is in your hand?
This may be a talent or ability, a hobby or trade.
Example: your may be a handi-man. You enjoy tinkering. OR maybe you take nice photos, OR maybe you are a plumber, a carpenter or a good cook, babysitter or housecleaner. God has created us all with gifts and talents.
If you are willing to use what is in your hand, we will match you with someone who is in need of what you possess. That person may not be able to hire someone with your gifts in the world’s economy. By making a donation to the Haitian Children’s Home mission team in exchange for your time they will both give and receive a blessing. As we serve one another the Body is strengthened; relationships are built and community is formed.
You can call Denise Goodale at 252-305-4031 or 252-473-1950 or email at dgoodalecreation@yahoo.com to add your name and what talent and time you are willing to donate for this cause.

What’s in your wallet?
We have all heard this ad by Capital One Credit Card Company. After researching the Capital One web site it was discovered that 20,000 reward miles can be redeemed for a $100.00 gift card on American Airlines. One person can use as many as 8 gift cards toward their flight. It cost between $700-$800 to fly to Haiti from Raleigh or Norfolk. Many people have similar plans with their credit card companies. Business owners especially have often unused reward miles sitting in their accounts. Why not consider gifting these reward miles to this trip.
And finally
What’s in your heart?
If the Lord impresses on you that you have the means to give support by writing a check then we pray you will give what is in your heart to give.
Donations are tax deductable and can be written out to the Haitian Children’s Home/Outer Banks team and given to Denise Goodale or mailed to PO Box 474, Manteo , NC 27954
