| WELCOME !! |
Greetings again in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for in
him
we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28a). As always, we thank you
for your interest with the kids down in Cap Haitien, Haiti.
This month's scripture comes from Acts 4:8-14.
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: "Rulers and elders of
the people!
9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a
cripple and are asked how he was healed,
10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead,
that this man stands before you healed.
11 He is "‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.’
12 Salvation is found in no-one else, for there is no other name under
heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realised that they were
unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that
these men had been with Jesus.
14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there
with them, there was nothing they could say.
The past month or so has been filled (literally) with visitors. We have had
groups from Wichita, Kansas and Ada, OK. Additionally, we had a group from
Lipscomb in Nashville come for day visits.
The Ada youth group from the Southwest Church of Christ helped with
the painting of our new kitchen and showers. It was real nice to see Johnie
Fredman and Brianna Dirrim, along with Brianna's dad David.
For the Wichita group, it was their first visit to Haiti. One of the group,
Danita Loney, is a sponsor for Fabienne, one of our girls. Danita came with
her 18 year old son Kyle and they both got to spend time with Fabienne. We
also visited the main hospital of Cap Haiten, called Justinien. I went with the
Wichita group to the hospital. I do believe it was an eyeopener for all that
went.
Old (but not that old) friends Lynn and Diane Griffith came with some of
the Lipscomb Tennis Team on their spring break. Two of the tennis players
are foreign, one is from Germany and the other is from Brazil. They gave
talks about their countries. They also held a tennis clinic in downtown Cap
Haitien, Dianne spoke at the women's seminar, and another one of the tennis
players who is also an accomplished artist, gave art lessons to the kids.
I really think it's important to point out that all of the young people and
some of the old people who visited came on their spring break. I don't
follow the news too much but I'm sure this year is no different than every
other year where some high school and college kids go to Florida or Texas
for spring break and get into some kind of trouble. But the kids from these
churches and school used their spring break to visit and help their brothers
and sisters in Christ. Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that
you did also to me.
Our construction is coming along nicely. It is very very close to
completion (as opposed to just very close as it was last month). It has been
painted as noted above and now the kitchen can be used too. See the pics
below.
Other pages updated include Kid of the Month and Bob's Page. One of
the things I address on Bob's page are some questions we have recently
received about the rioting you may have heard about on the news and the
rapidly rising food prices.
We just got a new 3 year old from Ouanaminthe. Check out the New Kid
tab above!
Finally, at the end of March, thanks to some generous donors, we were
able to have our quarterly pool party for the kids having birthdays. We go to
the Christophe Hotel where the kids swim for a couple of hours and have
cake and soda. As you might guess, they loved it.
Thanks as always for visiting the website and caring for these kids, the
future of Haiti. May the Father of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, grant
you unlimited spiritual blessings for all of your days on earth. Feel free to
contact me at northeast125@yahoo.com for any other suggestions you might
have for the website.
