In the aftermath of Haiti’s worst earthquake in 200 years, we urge you to pray for the people of Haiti. Thousands have died, and the humanitarian situation is desperate. Before the earthquake, 80 percent of Haiti’s population was already living in extreme poverty and hunger. The country has suffered a surge in food prices in 2008, a rapid downturn in its economy, and a string of natural disasters. The situation is now far more desperate.

Please consider how you can help in relief efforts by giving monetarily. Lighthouse will be taking a special offering this Sunday during both services and partnering with World Vision to support Haiti disaster relief. You can also donate directly to World Vision here.

We are going to try something new here on the blog.  Over the next few weeks, and hopefully months, we’ll be sharing life stories of people at 29:11, who experienced transformations to their hearts and lives because of their relationship with Jesus Christ.

It is our hope that the stories shared here will bring encouragement to you.  We’d love to hear your stories and feature them here as well (with your permission, of course).  You can send them to info@twentynine11.com.

Here is the template to follow if you are someone who needs some structure (like me):

The Story
- Provide the readers brief background and how it relates to the experience you are sharing

Redemption
- How did Jesus work in your life?

Now/Future
- What does it mean for the future and how does this change you to be a new person?

Now, if you prefer to share His redemptive story in your life in a different way, we love it!  We love creativity here.

To submit: Send your story to info@twentynine11.com.  By submitting, you are giving us permission to publish it on this blog.
