The Haiti Crisis

Posted by Joellen Armstrong Wednesday, February 3, 2010 9:13 AM
I have been thinking so much about Haiti... mainly b/c an old friend of mine shared a link on facebook to a blog of some even older friends of mine :) Corrigan Clay and his wife Shelley, along with their 2 biological children and 2 adopted Haitian children, are missionaries in Haiti right where the earthquake was worst. They've been there for a while and I haven't had the chance to read all of their blog about when they started, but it's amazing to see God's Spirit so evidently shown in their lives and shown to the people around them. Corrigan has such a heart to know God and to best show His to others... his blog brings me to tears almost every time I read it!

Anyway, check out their blog or their website to see what they're doing and how you can help. I plan on hosting a jewelry party for them to support the work they are giving needy women sometime in March. Their work really inspires me and pushes me to seek more where God wants me. They work with many artists, teaching skills and artistic trades, which Mark and I are both really interested in. Maybe we'll go there and help out someday :)

On another note, Mark and I are working on a non-profit called The Giving Portal and our website should be up soon. The main purpose is to provide an online avenue of giving and awareness of need... that is the simplest way to say it... but it involves a lot more!! I'll keep you posted on that as it progresses.
