Initial reports are indicating that destruction and devastation is great. The prime minister of Haiti is reporting the potential for more than 100,000 casualties. The Haitian capital was largely destroyed in the most powerful earthquake to hit the country in more than 200 years. The national palace is a crumbled ruin and tens of thousands of people are homeless. In public squares thousands of people are singing hymns and holding hands. The quake was followed by numerous aftershocks, one with magnitude 5.9. The shaking was felt more than 300 miles away in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republican, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti. We currently have 7 churches and 1 orphanage in Haiti, led by our national leader Guy Thomas who lives in close proximity to the epicenter. Our Area Missionary Dave Stone has made numerous attempts to contact pastor Thomas, but communication is sparse and we are still waiting for information regarding our churches and our Foursquare family. The Foursquare Church is poised to respond with relief supplies and financial resources. Many pastors have already contacted FMI to see how they can help. We are currently assessing the needs and our available resources and developing a long-term plan to bring relief, rebuild our churches and make disciples. We will be in constant communication with your district missions representative with pertinent information and updates. Current list of district missions representatives:This nation and churches will need our ongoing prayer and support. Here is how you can give immediate help: 1. Pray - for protection, miraculous healings, restoration and acceleration of kingdom progress for Haiti. Let's contend for a total turnaround from this quake into a shaking of a nation unto salvation. 2. Take an offering - Our long-term plan of relief will require large financial resources. a. You can give online at https://give.foursquare.org/relief b. You can mail a check payable to: Foursquare Missions International - PO Box 26776. Los Angeles, CA 90026 3. Consider planning or joining a team to aid in the rebuilding and restoration of this nation. Contact DWheeler@foursquare.org for more information. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As we stand on the brink of a brand new year, there is something in my heart that rises up with a conviction that this particular change of calendar is more than just a "chronos" change, but this is a "kairos" moment. Chronos is quantitative, while kairos is qualitative! The word kairos means that we stand at an opportune moment and season. At the very end of 2009, I heard God clearly speak to me that '09 was a year of transition and '10 would be a year of transformation. I receive that! The word transformation means..."the state of being transformed in form, appearance, nature and character"...where do I sign up for that?
In Genesis, chapter 35, we find the name change of Jacob. As Jacob, he was a man who was known to strive. Striving isn't necessarily a negative thing, but for many it can be based on the elements of the flesh. God not only corrected that in Jacob but changed His name to mean "God Prevails". I have an expectant confidence that, this year, we will see God prevail in our lives, our families, our churches and ministries. I believe that, in order for me to realize the full benefit of all that God wants to do in me
personally, I must honestly and transparently hold my heart and my life before the Lord and allow Him to prevail in me personally. In other words, what are the changes (transformation) that needs to take place in my form, my appearance, my nature and my character? I am not only willing to
identify them but to surrender them and make the commitment necessary to bring about the changes. All "change" begins with a surrendered life!
This year, my prayer is that we would not only be faithful but that we would be fruitful. Throughout the years, I have met ministers that are extremely faithful to God, based on their personal commitment and
practices, but aren't very fruitful in ministry. Oddly enough, I have discovered that what it takes to be faithful isn't necessarily what it takes to be fruitful. I certainly don't think that you can ever remove the element of faithfulness from fruitfulness, but the determining factors of fruitfulness go beyond the personal practices of discipleship. In other words, if you were hired to build the shuttle, it would be based on the fact that you know what you're doing when you show up on the job...not just that you
faithfully show up! Does my "form", (the way I do things) need to be transformed, does my "appearance", (how things look around my ministry) need to be shaped and fashioned to meet the needs and demands of this current generation?
As I get older, I find that, unless I intentionally fall out of love with the past generation, I will not be open to this current generation, and I will quickly lose my relevancy. I have two teenagers in my home, two that are in their twenties (my niece is living with us) and a 7 year-old. Trust me, there are times when both they and I experience generational stress. I have had to choose to learn from them and not get stuck in my "old ways"!! Now, what I will not back off of are the principles by which I live, but I am
willing to change the methodology.
What are the things that God wants to transform in you this year? What do you need to learn in order to become more fruitful and what price are you willing to pay in order to come to that place? Transformation isn't going to happen just because it's God's desire. It will happen in those who
are willing to allow it to happen and in those who will, in fact, seek after it. More than ever, I see myself as the clay on the Potter's wheel. So, my prayer is that God would have His own way. May we all be molded, shaped and fashioned according to His will. May we move into this year with a sense of determination and expectancy of the new things that He wants to do in us and through us!
You are loved and appreciated! As I look across the landscape of our district, I continue to be amazed at the level of leaders that God has given to us: quality men and women of God of every race and nationality. It's awesome and exciting. I look forward to continuing to work together with you to make the dreams that God has given you come to fruition and reality. This is your time; this is your season! God has given you an amazing opportunity! May you become all that He has destined you to be.
For the King!
Pastor Scott
