Pain into purpose

Please pray protection, peace, and the Lord’s plan for these sweet faces. I truly cannot imagine the amount of trauma they have been through in their little lives. Mimina (10), Master (8), Makenley (12), Keny (unsure of his age but I do know that he has been diagnosed with autism)

These four kids lost their mom two weeks ago to kidney failure. Their dad was killed in Haiti one month ago. They don’t have any family. This is the “house” where they are staying and someone helps take care of them. No clothes or shoes except what they are currently wearing, no toys, no sheets, no food, no running water, no bathroom, no nada. The floor is dirt & the tin roof is full of holes. All four kids are sleeping in one really dirty & nasty bed. My heart is shattering for these sweet babies. Please Lord wrap your arms around them & cover them with a peace that only You can provide!

If anyone feels led to make a donation towards these sweet kiddos needs, I can promise you every single penny will go directly to them!

Conditions in Haiti

Haitian children are eating mud because they have no money for food. The situation in Haiti right now is so desperate and bleak that parents are giving their children mud cookies to eat because they cannot afford food. Currently gangs control most of Haiti which is connected to the Dominican Republic. The gangs control the country and the police and government are either afraid of the gangs or paid by the gangs. They control food, fuel and water in the country and are preventing access unless the family can pay a premium. There is no work because of the gangs and families are living without hope. I visited there in 2012 right after the earthquake and it was bleak and barren. I cannot imagine the lack of hope these families must be living with every day. Many of our Haitian friends in the DR are being deported back to Haiti thus leaving their children alone and without care. Please join me in praying that the people of Haiti can see hope and that they find the resilience to survive what is becoming a country that has been forgotten.
