The reality is there are millions of Leronie’s all across Haiti. At times in my life, I’ve allowed this daunting fact to become a burden to keep me from moving forward. The nasty thoughts of “Do you really think you are making a difference?” and “There are so many, who are you to think you can change anything?” creep inside my head. Then, I get to spend a day with Leronie and see first-hand how God is moving mountains in her life. I see her children and the light being ignited in each one of them: mind, body, and soul. We have a great calling, straight from the Lord of the Universe, to transform people to be love in action to mend this broken world. Joshua 1:9 jumps right off the page for me and we choose to fight for people like Leronie, in Jesus’ name.
Many Hands for Haiti stands on the shoulders of mothers like Leronie, living with hope to meet the challenges of the day to bring about a better future. I’m in awe of the caregivers we work with all around Pignon and the level of trust they give us to help them transform. We are better together, as we choose to be love in action in this broken world.
