Driscoll acknowledged that the rebuilding of Haiti will be a long-term and painful process, noting the serious lack of construction, urgency, functional government and military, and education in the country.

However, he reported that many leaders say that Haiti is experiencing a revival as many turn from voodoo to Christ. He spoke to one local pastor who started a church amid a tent city of 50,000 where 3,000 now attend church services every week.

I am sceptical of emotional appeals. If Driscoll and McDonald, whom I know, are really leading a revival, they will also preach on responsibility. Haiti, once known as the “Pearl of the Antilles”, is a hell because Haitians, and no one else, have made it that way. If there is true revival, they will transform their country themselves, and not try to do it with UN programs or “foreign aid”.

Mark Driscoll impresses me, a lot. A Gen X guy that runs an honest-to-God Bible based church... in Seattle of all places? And it's a big church too.

Here is a great followup to the Haitian earthquake anniversary.

I think Driscoll would agree with this perspective.

Adam McClane's blog is paradigm shifting a lot of my view on ministry - in a powerful and positive way.

Driscoll promotes apostate and dangerous contemplative spirituality:

Uses profane language and pornicizes the Song of Solomon:

Works with CAIR:
