A couple weeks ago, a little girl ended up on our porch. She had the face of an angel and was suffering beyond what I could imagine as she was very malnourished and straining to breath. We gave her some milk and the caretaker money to get her to the hospital right away (she was from a local orphanage). She went to the hospital but it was too late. She died that night. This beautiful child of God was only 4 years old. We can't always save everyone that ends up on our porc and this reality breaks my heart. [But I know she is dancing with Jesus and that is far better than anything this world has to offer.]
There is hope in salvation. Without the cross, there is nothing - Haiti is a constant reminder of that.
The exciting thing is there are some people the Lord allows us to help save. Like baby Dabens - aka "David". He came to Lifeline at 3 months old weighing 3 pounds. He surpassed the odds of death and is now 5 months old. Watching him grow with a loving family and seeing Jesus at work in his tiny life has been such a joy and blessing! God must have big plans for this child!!

I'm so sorry for the one you lost, but like you said our loss is Jesus' gain. Thanks so much for the updated pictures of David. He looks wonderful! Keep up the good work and remember you are saving so many more than you lose.
