‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’ (Jeremiah 29:11)  Last week, in part one, I suggested that the often-quoted promise in Jeremiah 29:11 came on the heels of utter devastation. Babylon had laid […] The post A Recipe For Sustainable Love | Part 2 appeared first on Healing Haiti ..read more

We all know the promise. It’s been printed on bookmarks, posters, and coffee mugs for the better part the last century:  ‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’ (Jeremiah 29:11)  I entered seminary […] The post A Recipe For Sustainable Love | Part 1 appeared first on Healing Haiti ..read more
