Here is an email we received from Ginger Muchmore today!

Dear praying friends,

Early Thursday morning, I got a phone call from Manis. The church in Haiti had begun their time in prayer Wednesday evening. By now, our praying friends in Europe and Asia had been praying for several hours. He said, "Gigi, last night and into the wee hours of the morning it began to rain. It rained like I have never seen rain before. Water pouring down from heaven. We filled the two 350 gallon tanks and are filling the huge cistern."

God has answered. Even before some of us were awake and praying, God had answered. Today, Manis said the land is soaked with water. The people are rejoicing as their gardens are getting watered. Usually winds dry the water off the land after a hard rain. But this time, the water is sitting on the ground, slowly watering and refreshing the gardens. Manis said this is truly God's continued answer to our prayers.

What has been thrilling to me is the E mails that I have gotten as God has revealed Himself to those who have taken time to search through Scripture to see the awesome, glorious, power of our God. Truly this has been a blessing to many.

A friend from Canada wrote to me, quoting Isaiah 41:17-20. I forwarded it to my brother in Monte Carlo and he wrote back laughing. He had just been praying that God would refresh their parched tongues with water. How exciting it is to be on mission with God.

Some of you have rightly noticed that we are a month away from camp. How will we be able to conserve this water until then? Well, with the water holes filling up and the mountain sources flowing again (assuming the dump truck keeps running so we can get to the source) we won't have to touch the water that is in the huge cistern behind Manis' house.

We are also praying that this is just the beginning of much rain. We need the rain to begin the tree project and the people need the rain for their gardens. So, it is our prayer that God is just beginning to "open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys... to put springs in the dry land.... to make trees fourish." But, our prayer is that verse 20 will be a reality." they may see and know; may consider and understand that the HAND OF THE LORD HAS DONE THIS.. THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL HAS CREATED IT." (Isaiah 41:17-20)

In 2 Sam. 22:4 and Psalm 18:3, David says, " I call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised." In 1 Chron.16, the ark has been returned to Jerusalem and David is singing praises to God. He says, "Give thanks to God ... make known among the nations what He has done. (do you realize that with E mail, people in several different continents know about the rain) Sing to Him... tell of all his wonderful acts. Glory in His holy name".... then in verse 25 he says, "Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise." Please, please don't forget to praise God for the wonderful rain on the plateau. He has done a great thing. Let us be people of praise. Psalm 147:1 says, "How good it is to sing praises to our God; How pleasant and fitting to praise Him!"

On behalf of Manis, Judy and the believers on the plateau, I thank you for your prayers. I leave you today with The Message rendition of Ps 118:23 "This is God's work. We rub our eyes - we can hardly believe it!"

May God richly bless you and strengthen your faith.
