David Lloyd is the father of Davy Lloyd. He’s a graduate of Ozark Bible Institute and College. After marriage to his wife Alicia, they moved to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in order to pursue their missionary calling: a children’s home under the name Missions in Haiti. They raised more than 100 children to adulthood, where hundreds of children are educated annually.
As we read through the Scriptures, we see many occasions in which God miraculously delivered individuals from harm. We read of Daniel whom God sent an angel to shut the mouths of the lions. There was Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego delivered from the fiery furnace. Queen Esther and her people were protected when it seemed they would be wiped out by those who hated the Jews. We think of Peter whom God sent an angel to open prison doors and Elijah who was protected by perhaps the most wicked king and queen of Israel.
While some were delivered from death, others were delivered by death. Hebrews 11 writes of those who were stoned, sawn asunder, killed by the sword, or suffered in other situations. Why does God deliver some and not others? Job writes as recorded in Job 23:14, “For He performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with Him.” We don’t know the mind of God, but we do know God can be trusted and glorified in life or in death.
Today’s program is a true account of what happened just two years ago, as we learn about the simple service and the sudden sacrifice of martyrs in Haiti, and a family who had devoted themselves to serving the Lord at a Haitian children’s home until their lives and that of a Christian co-worker were taken. As the Scripture states in John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
