A Visit with Sister Marie

March 1, 2010 Posted by David Nance

On our way to out to Deschappelles yesterday, we were able to stop in PaP and visit with our sister Marie and her beautiful family.

For those of you that do not know, Marie is the widow of Pastor Alberoi Augustine. Pastor Alberoi went to be with the Lord on the day of the earthquake in PaP.

We met Pastor Alberoi in our first visit to Haiti in December of 2008. What an impressive man. A Haitian with a heart for Christ and a heart to minister to the Haitian people.

Again, one wonders about the fairness of life in Haiti. How could a man of God with so much to offer to this country be taken in such a time as this? How could a loving father be taken from his family in such a time of need?

Not sure I have the answers to those questions and having spent just a few moments sharing and praying over Marie and the children my heart still has questions.

Of this I am sure though:

Isaiah 54:10
10 For the mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
But My kindness shall not depart from you,
Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
Says the LORD, who has mercy on you.

Lord, may your kindness, peace and mercy be known in a special way to Marie.

Blessings,
~David
