Mobilizing tradesmen abundant in time, with men and woman abundant in resources.
What if we really were the hands and feet of Christ?
“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ Matthew 25:37-40
With America's economy down, there are many in the construction field that are looking for work, on unemployment, or simply don't have enough work. What if we (as the body) came together as a the network that we are and began putting teams together of skilled tradesmen: carpenters, electricians, plumbers, roofers, laborers, draftsmen, welders, machinists; and began strategically sending them down to Haiti in teams to rebuild what has fallen?
What if we could send down a team to build small water purification plants in different parts of the island to begin purifying and pumping clean water to the people?
What if we could send pastors, to minister to families who have lost or are missing loved ones. Pastors to preach God's love, arrange funerals and begin the process of starting over again.
In order for something as BIG as this to happen, it would take the financial and emotional support of those who are not unemployed, and have something to give. All of us have something to give. The financial side would not only include the travels and lodging of those going to Haiti, but the support of their families back home.
Just a proposal.
