How Can You Help?
Posted by: | CommentsAntioch Family,
Below is an invitation to a special event coming this Saturday night here in Louisville. I have been blessed with the opportunity to speak and would appreciate your prayers.
We also need some help before and during the event. So, if you can give some time in the next couple of days, or if you can commit to help at the event, please let me know as soon as possible.
blessings,
Todd
Time of fellowship with the Haitian community in Louisville
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” (2 Cor. 1:3-4)
What: Time of worship, prayer, and fellowship with Haitian Bethel Church, Haitian Tabernacle, Antioch Church, Sojourn Community Church, and other members of the Haitian community in Louisville. This will be a time to pray for, encourage, bless and comfort those who are grieving over the loss of family members and friends in the recent earthquake.
Why: To express to the Louisville Haitian community that they are not forgotten during these days as so many of them grieve from afar unable to help their own families, their own people. Not only do we have the opportunity to serve those in the Haitian community who follow Christ, but also those who do not know Christ and who are grieving without the hope that we as Christ-followers have.
When: Saturday, January 30th, 6-8 p.m. (Dinner wil be Pot-luck style; Please bring an entrée, appetizer, or desert that can feed at least one family).
Where: Bethlehem Baptist Church, 5708 Preston Highway, Louisville 40219

Heartache for Haiti
Posted by: | CommentsTonight my heart is heavy for the people of Haiti. As I am writing this, the suffering of untold thousands of Haitians is unspeakable. While praying for them tonight I had no where else to go with my thoughts but the Bible. God led me quickly to Psalm 46. I’m so thankful He did and I thought I’d share this familiar passage with you.
Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Come and see the works of the LORD,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
he burns the shields with fire.
“Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

We hope all the change will simply make it easier for people to find and read what is hopefully helpful and encouraging messages from the leadership of Antioch Church in South Louisville, KY.
