On Sunday, I heard a sermon that has stayed with me all week. The pastor quoted Jesus' words:
"Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest... For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)
It made me think about what it means to follow Christ. Jesus doesn't just invite us to bring our burdens to Him—He also calls us to help carry the burdens of others.
Over the past few weeks, we've received two heartbreaking requests from Haiti.
The first is for a 4 year old boy who suffered devastating burns and desperately needs intense medical care over the coming months.
The other is for families who have been forced from their homes because of gang violence. They are living without stability, wondering where their next meal will come from.
The needs can feel overwhelming. We can't solve every problem. But we can help carry someone else's burden.
That's what the Gospel looks like.
When we provide a meal to a hungry family, we're carrying a burden.
When we help a child receive medical care, we're carrying a burden.
When we choose compassion instead of looking away, we're reflecting the heart of Christ.
Thank you to everyone who has supported LOVE for Haiti over the years. Your generosity has always been about more than giving—it has been about stepping into someone else's pain and reminding them they are not alone. We have been so blessed to have supporters who always step in when we receive special requests like these.
If you feel led to help us meet these urgent needs, we would be so grateful. Together, we can be the hands and feet of Jesus to families who are carrying more than they should have to bear.
"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2 ❤️
