As for the rest of Haiti, Labady and his co-laborers in Christ are praying that “God will give us light and that He will unveil the eyes of the people so they are able to know where their help comes from.” Gatherings such as Haiti at the Cross are another way to hope for a new start, Labady adds. “We’re really confident that the Lord is going to give us victory.”

Coming Monday and Tuesday on the Crosswalk.com Faith page: New Directions International Changes Lives in Haiti and around the world.
