A Word from Pierre

This year is a special year in the history of the orphanage. At the end of last year, I was asking God what verse to teach the children and the staff for the beginning of 2010. He inspired me to teach ISAIAH 45:2,3, "I will go before you and level the exalted places, I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron, I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hoards in secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, who call you by your name. We learned it, and believed He was going to do something great for the children.

Many of the children had been waiting for a longtime in the adoption process to go home. They felt encouraged by the verse. Suddenly,on January 12, the earthquake hit and made big changes in the life of the kids. It is an unforgotten day for Haitian people. It was the first time we faced this event: in 35 seconds more than 300,000 people died, 250,000 houses collapsed leaving 1.5 million people in tents. We were asking ourselves why did God allow it to happened. He had His reasons for it.

From this hopeless situation, He made marvelous things for us. We had no children
hurt, but we did lose a Nanny who was at home. Our security walls that fell were
rebuilt by a team from California. He sent 110 children to their families
in the States, Canada and Argentina. He broke the difficult bars of adoption to
bring joy, new hope and loving care to these children.

Now, God has entrusted us with new children. He blessed us with a new van to drive the kids, families and the Missionaries that come to serve here. He gave us a piece of land to shine His Glory to the community. What an awesome God we serve!

As outreach, with GRANGOU and other donors, we were able to feed the
birth parents for a few months after the earthquake, help churches, feed orphanages
and a village. We distributed medicines to Hospitals and clinics to help save lives. During last summer, we organized a VBS for 600 children. We also fed them during the week. It was a great time. 72 of them gave their life to Jesus. Hallelujah!!! God has opened a house for 50 street boys who now are receiving food, education and medical care. Their lives are being changed. Finally, last November, we organized a Leadership conference for 150 Pastors where they got trained, equipped, empowered and encouraged to serve better in the Kingdom.

All this was possible because He used YOU to be a channel of blessings to us. I want to thank all of you that contributed to make a huge difference in the lives of these kids and the Haitian people. We were so encouraged by your presence, your love, your kindness and your donations to the orphanage, For His Glory and GRANGOU. We pray that God will continue to use you as His tool to keep on blessing this ministry.

We have some new challenges for next year. We want to build the land so that we can serve more children and a bigger community. This is a big dream God gave us to fulfill for His Glory. We want to find families for the kids that live with us now. As outreach, we plan to organize a VBS for the children in the community, a Leadership Conference for 300 Pastors, a Woman's Retreat and Medical Clinics for the community. Please keep us in your prayers so that God can make these projects come true.


I wish all of you a wonderful"Merry Christmas"(jwaye nwel in creole). May the light and the love of God keep you warmed.

Bless you,
Pierre
