PRAY FOR HAITI DAILY DEVOTION DAY 25
GLOBAL PRAYER INITIATIVE OF HAITIAN CHURCHES

Theme Verse 2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

The next group of people we will be focusing on as we ask the Lord to heal our land are the women. Jesus was also concerned about the women. In a day and time when Rabbis would not entertain women in their presence, Jesus not only welcomed them, women played a major role in His ministry. They were very resourceful to Jesus’ ministry and met many of His needs; In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there (Mark 15:41). Jesus depended on the women who followed him to provide for His basic needs that allowed His ministry to be effective. We will look at some of those need as the week progress. Haitian women are very resourceful to Haiti. Aside from their vital roles as mothers and providing basic needs for their families; they are the backbone of the commerce industry in Haiti. When you go to the market place they are the primary merchants. They are the movers and shakers. They know how to negotiate and make deals. Though they work in deplorable conditions, putting food on the table for their family and sending their children to school are their priorities.

PRAY: Ask the Lord to help the women in Haiti to make ends meet and improve their working and living conditions.

ACT: Support organizations that provide micro-loans to women. These micro-loans allow women to start their own businesses Many of them have been very successful.
