One person's sins affect us all

Somehow we think that when we sin, it only hurts us, but this is not true. The Bible says that what we do in secret will one day be exposed for all the world to see. God punished all the people of Israel when Achan disobeyed God's instructions. (Joshua 7)

It always made me mad in grade school when one kid would do something wrong, and the whole class would be punished for it.

Well, so many Haitian young men have defected to the US after getting Visas that the US government has virtually stoped giving Visas to young Haitian men. Because a few have sinned, 94% of Haitian young men are now having their Visa requests rejected.

Therefore, we have decided not to try and re-apply for a Visa for Obias to go the the US this summer. We will continue to pray about it and perhaps apply next summer.

In the meantime, Obias will be active in ministry with us this summer, so the US's loss is our gain!
