For what shall it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
Pastor Hector Clerveaux
As Haitian Christians, we have a double responsibility toward the orphans of our birth country.
This is especially true of us who have been placed by the Providence of God in this land of opportunity. Nehemiah was in a similar situation: he was serving at the palace as the cupbearer of the then most powerful king in the world.
He could have forgotten about his country in the midst of the many benefits he was enjoying.
But instead, his heart sank when he got news of the desolation in which his country laid, and he decided to do something about it.
