My Mom – Guest Blog

Tomorrow morning my favorite missionary flies back to her home in Haiti.  It has been such a JOY to have her here for the last two weeks (which have flown, by the way.)  My heart is filled because it is such a privilege to know that your child is, not only doing what they LOVE, but what they are called by God to do.  Selfishly…WOW…do I miss that girl when she is gone.  Don’t tell her that though.  It makes her cry. 😉

THANK YOU, dearest friends, for partnering with Emily as she cares for and loves on the people of Haiti.  God put this passion for Haiti and its people in Emily’s heart.  She daily seeks God’s guidance for the best way to share His love.  Emily is well aware, as are we, that this is a team effort. img_20161021_072553 Your love for Emily, and for the children of Haiti, for Christopher, Anicia, Derlain, Herson, Marie, Djino, and so many more is so evident in your prayers of blessing and protection.  We have been overwhelmed with gratitude at your generosity with gifts of blankets, burp cloths, baby clothing, toys, books, socks, shoes and finally, financial support, so that Emily can remain in Haiti.  YOU MAY NEVER LEAVE THE STATE IN WHICH YOU LIVE, BUT YOU ARE HELPING TO REACH UNTOLD NUMBERS WITH YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUPPORT.

Many have asked how they can reach how they can reach Emily to encourage her and for the best way to send support.  To write and encourage Emily:

Emily is called by God to be in Haiti.  She receives no compensation for her work there, but relies completely on the support of those who believe in the work she is doing there.  I can testify to the fact that Emily has never doubted for a moment that God will provide for ALL of her needs.  She simply doesn’t worry about from where resources will come.  And, she will remain in Haiti for as long, and only as long as God calls.  Thank you for walking this AMAZING journey with her.  As her mom, I personally couldn’t be more grateful for each and every one of you!!  Mary Smith
