Children's Lifeline

The earthquake may have taken place way back in January, but the effects are still abiding today. So much emotional stress has caused some people here pain we can’t even begin to describe. Such is the case of a woman who came to visit us. She had made a long rough journey all the way from the mountains. The woman was only 40 but looked worn beyond her years.

During the earthquake her house collapsed killing her husband and two of her children. She is now widowed with five other children she’s trying to feed. She is so depressed and is grieving because she can’t take care of her children any longer and can no longer provide food for them on her own. She lives with her sister. She was in such a state of despair that she even mentioned giving her children away for them to receive better care. Lifeline was able to send her back with a sack of food and a love bundle. Pastor Ronni was able to spend some time praying with her as well before she had to make her long trek back up the mountain. This is woman is just one story out of many. Her situation seems hopeless. Think about it…here in Haiti there are no food stamps, no welfare, no social security, no anything. When we say people have nothing here that really means nothing. And yet, by most accounts, the local villagers are a proud and happy people! What a testimony to the grace of God! Please keep her and all the others affected by the catastrophic quake in your prayers.
