Simple But Not Easy


It my be a simple thing to most of us, flipping a switch and bringing light into the room. However, it has been a long time coming at Christ Compassion Orphanage in Haiti. Yes, we have had electricity, but it has constantly been interrupted by our electric line being stolen forcing the use of generators and costly fuel.
The picture of the electric transformer being installed should end that problem. We are grateful for this. However, it does speak of the patience needed for progress in Haiti.

We are grateful for the funds to install a couple more water-filters that arrived this week. We have 18 churches now. Luc is planting two more this month. Funds also arrived this week for help with the facilities for the rebuilding of the Gonaieves Church that was destroyed by the 2009 hurricane and a church started in December along with these two new ones.
Pastor Wayne Stevens, a United Methodist pastor in Kansas, has been a blessing in raising some of these funds for Haiti. He joined our staff as a volunteer last year and has been raising funds for sponsorship of our orphans. Thanks Wayne and thanks for stopping by folks.
