This article from Mission Network News titled “Voodoo boat explosion leads Haitians to Christ” shares the recent heart change of Haitian people after surviving a tragic boat explosion that took the lives of over 50 people. Workers from For Haiti’s burn clinic began to share the Gospel with patients and in response, many Haitians said they were ready for Jesus after surviving such a tragedy. Roseline Dehart from For Haiti With Love explained, “They come in every other day until they’re healed, and they will hear the Gospel while they’re getting treated the whole time.” Mission Network News asks for continual prayer over the souls in Haiti.

This article from Radical News titled “You Don’t Have to Move Overseas to Make Your Life Count” reflects on the desire to make an impact on the world. However, Robin Matos emphasizes that making an impact isn’t exclusive to overseas travels. He encourages believers to practice hospitality wherever they go, especially at home and in their communities. By doing so, believers remain faithful to God’s commands. Matos writes, “Some of us are called to be missionaries, but every one of us is called to obey the Great Commission. Some of us will spend our lives learning to be effective cross-cultural workers, but every one of us is called to make the Gospel known through everyday faithfulness.”
