March 28, 2010 – 6:57am – Sunday – Titusville, FL / Report submitted by Joe Hurston (Air Mobile Joe)

I can hear the gentle wind blowing through the palm trees this morning. A reminder of Palm Sunday. Today, the Hurston family will go to our Church, Redeemer Presbyterian and then head to Orlando for our “other” Sunday service. We are working on year 13 of ministry (Cindy and I are the Chaplains) in a Children’s / Teenage psychiatric hospital. This has been a labor of love for many years for us. Our children have grown up ministering to other children who are less fortunate. Because of rules, there are many details that we cannot give regarding this ministry. However, we can say that our Lord Jesus has been with us as we have reached out to these young people over these 13 years. Today, we will deliver a message to the young people from Mark Allen Stuart, the Lead Singer for Audio Adrenalin. Mark wrote a song years ago titled, “Big House”. He, having spent many years in Haiti as a missionary and the son of missionaries, wrote this song that became a major hit. I had the opportunity, several days ago, to ask Mark about the song and what inspired it. It came from a Haitian song, “Do you want to go…to my Father’s House”? I asked Mark if he would want to come to Orlando and meet the children in the Hospital. I explained that the children named their “Church” that meets in the Hospital every Sunday, “Father’s House Ministry” after his song. He gladly accepted our offer / request. We do not know when he will come and greet and sing for our kids, but we know that he will. The photo below was taken on Wednesday morning in Port-Au-Prince. Cindy and I were able to help Mark and his wife get from Jacmel to P-A-P to catch a flite. 

Another cool thing is happening today. Do you recall, in a recent blog, that Cindy and I were in Haiti searching for the twins that Cindy delivered in a mud hut on the day that her brother Tommy was killed? Well, we found the twins. Their older brother, Danel, who was a teenager at the time Cindy as a nurse, was helping deliver babies lives right near us in Fort Myers, Florida. Danel, was a tremendous help to the missionaries during those early days of ministry. We called him and invited him to join for our Chaplain service today at the hospital. This is going to be another wonderful reunion. We will also be able to minister the message of our Lord’s wonderful grace and love to come to this earth as a baby…grow up and give His life for our sins. We will explain the story of Palm Sunday and then Good Friday and then…. Resurrection morning! This coming week, we’ll be preparing for another mission flight to Haiti. As always, God Bless You and thank you for your prayer and love!!
