		<description><![CDATA[A gospel believing Christian understands that he/she cannot ignore the physically oppressed nor take advantage of the weak because the gospel teaches them that one day God became physically oppressed and week so that he/she would experience spiritual shalom and wealth. Moreover, a gospel believing Christian understands his responsibility to share of what's been given to him so that the needs of the poor, the single spouse and the immigrants are met. Do you believe the Gospel? Then, (in James words) "show it!! Otherwise, your faith is dead!!"]]></description>

<p>Thank you Crossbridge for all your prayers during our Medical Mission to Haiti this last week. Your faithfulness and generosity allowed our team of 19 medical professionals and church members to minister to the physical ailments of more than 850 men, women and children in the town of Mirebalais. It was physically, emotionally, and spiritually challenging. But it was good. We treated the lost and forgotten &#8211; those children of God stuck in desperate circumstances. And it was our privilege to do it. Rest assured of this, as we served them, they too ministered to us even more with their grace, kindness, patience and love. We had the privilege of being the answers to their prayers. Think about that. They prayed that God would send them medical care and we were God&#8217;s answer. We were the hands and feet of Christ. Thank you for sending us. We can&#8217;t wait to go again. Oh yea, they sent a message back for you, &#8220;benediksyon nan non Jezikri, Seyè nou de&#8221; &#8211; (blessings in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord).</p>

I don&#8217;t think we will be able to see them all. There are more than a hundred children waiting to see our pediatricians. Their malnutrition is evident from the discoloration of their hair. They suffer from the common maladies associated with drinking unclean water and living around open sewage. Their parents are so glad to be able to bring them to a doctor. They dress in their Sunday best to come and are so gracious. They are beautiful. It is quite hot today. Please pray for endurance, patience, love and strength. Things seem to be going a bit slow today. We need your prayers.</p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p>It is now about 3 pm and we&#8217;ve treated about 240 people so far. We have about 100 more to go. We rotated through a 5 minute lunch break but other than that its been non stop. We ran out of some antibiotics this afternoon but were miraculously able to obtain some locally (at a steep price) &#8211; God is good. The temperature shows no sign of cooling. The team is great. Pray for renewed strength and endurance as we enter the home stretch. Peace and love.</p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p>Just a quick final note for the day. We saw 429 patients today. We just got back to the guest house. Very tired. Good night. One more time tomorrow.</p>
<p>J. Reynardus</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Understanding The Gospel By Looking Into The Life Of Jacob</strong></p>
<p>This series (as every series this year) falls under the FOCUS ONE vision for 2010, which goal is that God would make Crossbridge a huge blessing others here in our city. However, we will never be a blessing unless we ourselves experience what it truly means to “be blessed.” For this reason, we&#8217;re gonna focus on one life that the bible gives us a narrative of — the life of Jacob.</p>
<p>We will use Jacob&#8217;s life as a template and we believe, the perfect template for us modern people because no one screws up more, doubts more and deceives more than Jacob. If we are able to see the Gospel working in Jacob&#8217;s life we will inevitably see the possibility of this same power working in and through our own lives.</p>
<p>This is a great opportunity for you to invite those whom you&#8217;ve been committed to pray for and share the gospel with this whole year! Invite friends, family, neighbors and co-workers.., this series is bound to bless (no pun intended) <img src='http://www.crossbridgemiami.com/_crossbridge/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
