The story of how I met this kind brother began in days of great uncertainty fueled by inaccurate and untruthful reporting from global media outlets.
While many, including Christians, wanted to blame and criticize 10 Americans who were arrested in the early days following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti and their churches for slowing down aid and halting adoption processes, God had plans for good.
In times of darkness one begins to see the sovereign rule of God in all circumstances. When separated from family and church family we had to completely rely upon God for everything. When we needed family and church and they could not meet our needs God already had a messenger of hope prepared.
None of us could ever have seen the outcome of those days to be what they are today. For this, let us rejoice in the the Lord.
By the grace of God I will have the opportunity to introduce my family and church family to Alex Veillard, a godly man who visited us every day while in a Haitian jail. A man of simple means commissioned by God to care for the needs of 10 Americans when few others would or could.
“…God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result…”
Today, by the grace of God, Eastside Baptist is partnered together with Alex in providing housing, nutrition, education, medical care, and most importantly, biblical/spiritual instruction to 68 girls in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
Join me on October 28 and November 4 when God’s people at Eastside Baptist Church in Twin Falls, Idaho welcome Alex and his wife Johanne. Alex will be preaching on November 4 at 10:30 a.m.
