Ten years ago, prior to Empowering Action, a friend passed along to me a poem by missionary Amy Carmichael, which, in reference to Israel’s miraculous crossing of the Jordan River in Joshua 3, stated the following:

“You and I may be called again and again to walk right into our own ‘rivers,’ whatever they may be-to wet our feet in them. We may be called to do what nobody understands except those to whom the word of guidance is given-and with it, His promise too.”

The years of EA have been a testament to the principle that where God guides…He provides. His provision has included, not merely the continued financial generosity of our supporters, but also key leaders and ministry partners, which have enabled us to have a breadth of ministry beyond our greatest expectations.

Two of the countries in which we minister, Haiti and Cuba, are in the midst of chaos. As a result, we ask that you join us in praying for those brothers and sisters in Christ, mourning with those who mourn (Rom. 12:15), interceding on their behalf (1 Tim. 2:1) and petitioning for God’s provision of divine strength, amidst diversity, to “walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Col. 1:10).

Pictured below are pastors of Haitian churches within the Dominican Republic, planning and praying earlier this week, alongside our staff, for EA’s efforts to serve Christ’s Church in their home country.
