'Where do I go if it rains?'

The sign held by a man atop the Haiti rubble says in Creole: “Where do I go if it rains?” And Pastor Shaun King, a man whose heart burns for the people who suffered the quake of biblical proportions answered the question before even seeing this photo of the Haitian man posted today on the Web. Shaun’s answer is in the tents he’ll help provide.

Before we get to the tents, a little about Shaun. He writes in the “About Shaun” section of his blog:

Hello! I’m Shaun King – a 30 year old husband, father, pastor, and grad student (in that order) in downtown Atlanta.  I am the Lead Pastor of The Courageous Church – a brand new, diverse, exciting community of faith that just launched on January 11th, 2009!  Before I put on my SuperSuit and go live out my call in the city, I fix my five kids a bowl of cereal, change diapers, pack lunches, and give my wife a kiss. This blog is all about the tight rope that I walk between Courage & Corn Pops.

So, today, Shaun does what I know him best for, posting a call for help on Twitter. You see, I only know Shaun a few days now … and it’s only through Twitter and Facebook … but I know he has a heart that’s at least as big as cyberspace must be.

Shaun King wants to get 10,000 tents shipped to Haiti this week. He’s got a cargo ship booked … he’s gotta a day it sets sail (Thursday) … and he has a whole bunch of people already buying tents to be shipped to a Miami port.

This I know about Shaun … his heart is big and chances are that in the time between Monday and Thursday of this week, Shaun will have made sure 10,000 tents are on there way to Haiti.
