A few hours after the rioting began in the U.S. Capitol on January 6, well-known Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman released a Desperate Benediction .
Chapman had been working on this song for roughly a year, but the singer felt like yesterday during the protests was the right time to release this song, calling for God s peace over the country. Words can’t describe the sadness that I feel as I watch the events currently unfolding in our country. I’m so heavy-hearted at the brokenness and division that we are witnessing and experiencing in our world today, and I am processing in the way most natural to me as a singer-songwriter: with a song, Chapman posted on Facebook along with a video of the song.

A mission organization is hoping to solve Haiti s housing crisis, one tiny home at a time.
Mission Network News reports that For Haiti With Love builds Pilgrim Houses for needy families in Haiti to demonstrate God’s love. The organization is hoping to start by helping to women who recently became single mothers, and says that tiny homes are a good fit. Haiti is in a housing crisis and has been for a long time, MNN says. Before the 2010 earthquake, the Haitian population already lacked 700,000 housing units. Then almost 300,000 homes were destroyed in the earthquake, and few have been rebuilt satisfactorily.
