65 men

65--that's how many people are headed overseas in the next 10 days to help earthquake victims in Pakistan. Our office has been working with 53 of them over the last week, and it has been both taxing and exhilirating. Had to tell a few people "No" today--even one who has served with our organization in difficult circumstances before. 65, though. May God grant these men grace in obtaining their visas quickly. May the Lord protect, equip, and prepare them for the suffering they're voluntarily walking into. May He be pleased to bear fruit through their good works, granting them work that makes a difference and prayers that move mountains on behalf of these people.
