Runk Family in Haiti: making a difference everyday

We don’t have to be famous, rich, important, church workers, or a CEO of a company to make a difference. Changing the world doesn’t necessarily come through a massive production, but rather through touching one life at a time.

Here’s a story I heard once:

As an old man walked the beach at dawn, he noticed a young boy ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. Finally, catching up to the youth, he asked him why he was doing this. The answer was that the stranded starfish would die if left in the morning sun. “But the beach goes on for miles and there are millions of starfish”, countered the man, “How can your efforts make a difference?” The young man looked at the starfish in his hand and then threw him safely in the waves. “It makes a difference to that one”, he said.

There are people all around you that you can make a difference in their lives. It takes us looking around, seeing where the Spirit might be leading, and acting on that.

Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. Because, indeed that’s all who ever can.” -Margaret Mead

Here in Haiti a lot of humanitarian work is done and around the world, people spending trillions of dollars, much of which does nothing for the souls of men, not leading them closer to Christ. The end result is an easier way of life here on earth but hell is their reality if we don't share the truth with them and they accept Jesus into their heart. We all need to remember to take the time and make sure seeds are being planted, Jesus is being shared and is being glorified in all we do. Some times this means slowing down and pouring into someone not just speeding though life getting to the next thing we feel we need to do.
