Today Samuel, a boy that lives in La Digue, the village where Lifeline is located, came to the mission with our Pastor. Pastor told us that Samuel’s parents had both died and he and his 3 sisters and 2 brothers had moved from the mountain to our village. Pastor had taken in one of his sisters and the other siblings are living together in a house just behind our compound. The boy had a pair of flip flops on that the heel had been torn off. The terrain in Haiti is very rocky and dusty. The people go through shoes very quickly because of all the walking they do. We were very happy to give Samuel a brand new pair of blue Crocs! We are so thankful for the donation of these shoes! The people love them and they seem to work really well with the conditions here!
And the good news doesn’t end there! We are very fortunate to have Stacey with us for a month. She heard the story about Samuel and said she wanted to sponsor him through Lifeline which gets him in the feeding program and pays for medical treatment.
In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35 (NASB)
