Hurricane Alex has officially hit! The downpour of rain began tonight during worship. It was so great to sit down in the rain and sing out to Jesus.
It's really funny, the timing of this hurricane, actually. For the past week, I have been on my knees praying to God that if there was any way for me to be able to stay here for just a little bit longer that He would open up the doors and make a way....
The worst of the hurricane hits Friday morning at 1 AM...just several hours before I'm supposed to fly out of here! Um...I'm not going to get my hopes up....but things are looking like they'll be working in my favor. ;)
Obviously though, there are dangers with this hurricane. Some of the squatter villages that we serve are located right alongside the river. They literally live in homes with dirt floors and tarps for a ceiling. Tomorrow a group will be heading out to these homes to supply them with more tarps, flashlights, plenty of water and food, and flashlights.
Back2Back is also preparing for the worst. The power typically goes off here when it rains hard and we're expecting about 10 inches of rain in the next several days.
All that being said...keep everyone in the path of this hurricane in your prayers. I'm not sure how much longer the power will be on here, so this very well could be my last post down here.
Quien sabe cuando voy a salir de aquí! Creo que Dios tiene más que enseñarme aquí! Vamos a ver! ;)
