One Less Orphan in Haiti......

"For nothing will be impossible with God." (Luke 1:37)

Carline resting on a missionary's lap

My friend Emily just returned from Carline's orphanange(New Life Link) in Haiti.  She took photos and videos of Carline for us.  It just brings joy to our hearts, to hear first hand details, about Carline.  We are estatic to know that her needs are being met, while we can not be there for her physically.  We are there with her in spirit and pray for her daily. We can't wait for her to become a part of our family.

Just came across some of these Haitian facts:
• In Haiti alone, there are 490,000 orphans.
• In addition, 300,000 children are in slavery.
• One in seven children in Haiti dies before their 5th birthday - mostly of preventable diseases
     We are humbled at these numbers, and thankful that we will be changing the life of a child in need.

We sent Carline a family photobook with captions in Haitian Creole.

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress."                                    James 1:27


New Picture!

We received a new picture if Carline today, taken by a missionary last wk.  She is almost 20 months. It is so nice to see a smile on her face!  We can't wait to meet her.

Our fundraising garage sale was a huge success.  We owe Haiti an installment of $7000 in several months, and we have almost reached that during the past two weekends of garage sale, car wash, & monetary donations.  We are so thankful for all of those who donated items, helped sort, organized, cleaned up and volunteered at the sale. Honestly, we couldn't have done it without you!  It was definitely a team effort.
My favorite verse: "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to proper you and not harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future...Jeremiah 29:11
