Fiji Mission Trip
by Raymond and Tuggy Dunton - Wings of Freedom Ministries
Before I share some of the details of our recent Fijian ministry trip, I need to thank each of you for your faithful commitment to pray for us and those we ministered to. We are both deeply grateful for your intercession and are humbled by your willingness to remember us before the Throne. We were able to confidently share with the Fijians we ministered to, that there were people like you who were praying and fasting. 
Not only did our Abba Father honor your prayers we requested, but He also demonstrated His characteristic of being a God that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ask or think or imagine!
God granted favor and established a rapport between us and our Fijian brothers and sisters our first day together. Being Tribal people, they immediately identified with my Heritage. With tears in their eyes, many of them spoke to Tuggy and me of the honor and empowerment that they were now experiencing, realizing that God has chosen them as Fijian people before the creation of the world (Acts 17:26, Ephesians 1:4). They openly received the teaching concerning their identity in Christ and the power and authority they have as children of God in order to maintain their freedom in Christ. More . . .
Haiti: Dec. 2009
by Janice Combs
The big brown eyes are haunting as they search for some
ray of hope. 
We tested the hearing of this five year old child in our make-shift testing room in Steve's van in the dirty alleyway outside her home. Curious children gather around straining to see as Steve starts up the generator providing us with power.
We had been welcomed at the Port-Au-Prince International Airport by
festive musicians hoping for generous hearts in this poorest nation in
the Western Hemisphere. The ride to the hotel was an experience more
challenging even than traveling the city streets in Egypt, South Africa
or any of the "Stans" of years past. The streets overflow with more than two
million in a city meant for only a few thousand. They have poured in
from the mountains as they have been stripped of vegetation leaving only
scruffy young trees with long thorns. They have come seeking shelter and
food where there is none so it seems to be a land of homelessness and
hunger. 
We drove by the Presidential Palace and I would have been
impressed by it's gated grassy grounds surrounding the stately white
mansion, except for the dispair every where I looked. (The picture on the top is of what it looks like now as to what it looked like when I was there) "Do they not see
the distress all around them?" I ask. "Oh, they travel in their
limosines to their fine homes and don't drive here." They don't see the
absence of even the very basics of life for the teeming throngs searching
through the garbage and drinking from the contaminated ditches. More . . .
Mercy Ships Responds to Haiti
by Brian and Warrie Blackburn
Dear Friends,
Warrie and I wanted to let you know what is happening with Mercy Ships in response to the recent disaster in Haiti:
Emergency Haitian Earthquake Relief Fund - Mercy Ships activates Disaster Relief Mercy Teams in response.
The most powerful earthquake to strike Haiti in more than 200 years has left parts of the impoverished Caribbean nation in ruins, destroying buildings and burying people in the rubble. Mercy Ships is mobilizing Disaster Relief Mercy Teams comprised of both Medical and Non-medical personnel to engage with long established partnerships on the ground in Haiti. More . . .
While Southern Baptist Disaster Relief leaders await entry into Haiti, the Light of the World shines bright. Florida Baptist Disaster Relief leadership said today they expect to find their Haitian Baptist partners hard at work responding to the needs around them. "In past responses they have had action plans and strategic operations already underway when we have arrived to assist them." Florida Baptist disaster volunteers have worked diligently to train Haitian Baptists in disaster response in recent years.
