2BCT Deploys to Haiti

Dear Friends and Family,

Please keep Ben and his unit in your prayers as they begin their Response to the devastation that has occurred in Haiti. I am not sure what communication will be like, or how long he will be there for, but if I hear from him I will post updates on the blog.

Here is a news video that the Fayetteville Observer did of their unit preparing to deploy.

Also here is an email from a woman I know from a bible study. I wanted to add this to the blog because before she sent it out, this is exactly what the Lord had put on my heart to pray for Haiti as well....

I wanted to add to the prayer requests for Haiti. I remember a speaker at Manna who talked about Haiti. The speaker talked about how the nation was cursed and in the past, the head of the government had dedicated his country to Satan, asking him to be the god of their nation. The speaker also mentioned something I thought was incredible. See Haiti and the Domincan Republic share the same island, but they have very different terrains. The DR has a lush country, something you would expect in a tropical island while Haiti is more desolate and brown. He said you could see the border from the air. The curse is visible from the air.

All that being said. The Lord is going to do something miraculous there. He is bringing His soldiers of light, those in the military who are Christians to be His ambassadors there and advance His kingdom. Pray that the spiritual darkness would be lifted because it's God's desire that all would enter into His blessing and love. Pray that the spiritual powers there would be like the rubble on the street and that God's kingdom would reign there and the Lord would be the one to rebuild the nation. Our soldiers are being sent there to do kingdom work, not just humanitarian aid. I saw that there is a church there in Haiti, so pray for them as well that they would be able to reach out to those around them and give the people hope.

God Bless
