Haitian disciples Wilner and Chantal Cornely led the International Churches of Christ in Haiti in the early 1990's and have remained in close touch with the churches there through the years. Wilner brings us a history and an update on the state of the disciples since the devastating earthquake of January 12.
He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." (Rev.21:5)
These past few years have seen a fresh breeze of growth and change in our fellowship. Disciples around the world are exercising their gifts in new ways, to serve one another and advance God's Kingdom as never before.
As we know, one of the ways God speaks to us is through the written word. This tradition continues to this day, as his people come forward with new books to instruct and strengthen his church, bringing new insights into the inspired message of the Bible.

I traveled to Haiti with the Community Coalition for Haiti (CCH), which has been doing humanitarian work there for around the past twenty years. We were the fourth team CCH had sent down for medical relief since the earthquake.
