Please Pray for Haiti!

As many of you know there was a 7.0 earthquake in Haiti today, 10 miles from where our kids live. We got word that one wall of the orphanage did collapse, but by God's protection, none of the children were hurt. When we got word it was about an hour after the quake and all of the kids and the directors were standing in the driveway experiencing the 5.9 aftershock. The "Delmas" (the area where are kids are located) reported there were more houses fallen than standing. There was a cloud of dust over Port-au-prince from the numerous cement buildings falling and raising dust into the air.

Given the circumstances we are very blessed that the orphanage did not collapse. We are not sure what the future hold for the orphanage, as the drinking water will be hard to aquire and the grocery store will be out of commision, along with no electricity or little gas to run generators. Please pray for the orphanage and the directors, as they have a long hard road ahead of them.


We are also unsure exactly what this means for our adoption as the presidential palace has collapsed, (this is a before and after)
along with many of the government offices. Needless to say adoption paper work will be a last priority for a while, if it can even be found.

We know our God has done many miricles up to this point to bring our kids home and they will not cease now. We also know that these miricles have been made possible, by your prayers and intercession. So, please join with us, as we yet again, pray for the certain victory over this next hurdle. God knows exactly what month, what day and what time our kids feet will touch american soil and He alone will get the praise on that day.

Thank you to all of you that sent notes and called on the phone to inquire about our sweet kids. It means a lot that you are thinking of us and concerned for our children. We will keep you updated when we hear anything.
Psalm 91:9-16

If you make the Most High your dwelling place, even the Lord, who is my refuge,
then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near you tent,
for He will command Angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways.
They will lift you up in thier hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone...
"because he loves me," says the Lord, I will rescue him.
I will protect him for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me and I will answer him,
I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.
