Candice DeGeus from California and Michelle Welke from Iowa, both graduates of Biola University in LA just moved to Lifeline! We will be living and working here for a few months. Our time here is not definite because we are helping to start an orphanage in Barbanourt (Le Digue Mattieu’s neighbor village) on property donated by Osmy, Lifeline’s Haitian director. The property borders the Lifeline school in Barbancourt and the buildings are almost finished! We will keep you posted about the orphanage progress. We are excited to be here with Adrian and Celissa to serve at Lifeline and already God has used us in ways we did not expect. If you have visited, you know there is never a dull day at Lifeline; we never run out of opportunities to serve.
Last night we went to sleep to the sound of Haitian creole worship at the Lifeline church. This morning we awoke to hear it continuing. The church had an all night service and fasting. What a blessing to know how fervently the people of our village are seeking the Lord. Be encouraged in your prayers that the people of Le Digue are praying as well.
Today our team of mothers just left. They were such a blessing and it felt like they did more work for us than we could even do for them. They were so helpful and kind and they handled every new situation with a great attitude and a willingness to serve. We were sad to see them go but grateful to let them share their stories with their families and communities.
Today Kitma, of the September 22 blog, returned to visit Lifeline with her four year old daughter, Myalin. Please pray for her as she still struggles with the choice to quit selling her body. We pray that she will learn to trust God to provide and allow us to help her. She tested positive for TB so we are hoping to get her to a TB clinic soon. We were able to provide her with school fees for her daughter and are getting her in the system to be sponsored.
