On January 12, 2010, the earth shook, rocking Haiti to its knees. My husband David Uttley was compelled by the Lord to offer his photography and was in the air the next day headed for "home" with Samaritan's Purse. Here are links, photos and updates I started sending to family and friends. Being persuaded to start this blog, I hope others are encouraged by one family's journey alongside Haiti.
Haiti is digging out of a quagmire of mud as a result of flooding following the narrow miss with Hurricane Tomas. God heard the cries of His people there and spared them a direct hit. Thank you Father. You are gracious. Now please spare them the ravages of a spreading cholera outbreak.
God is also gracious to our family in so many ways. David and I returned from a trip to Africa. He spent six weeks photographing for an evangelist, an adoption agency, a water ministry, a missionary vet and the small medical team I was a part of.
One of our sons has safely returned from Cambodia and Thailand where he served with YWAM on an outreach mission of three months. He is now focusing on "friend" raising to return to YWAM on staff. His hope is to co-lead teams to Haiti within the coming year.
Our other son, a self-proclaimed "prodigal", has returned to the fold. Our family had a the sweet privilege of participating in his baptism with his small group at Calvary Chapel in his college town. God is so faithful!
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it untilthe day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6
