Our time to leave is drawing near and now some major problems have erupted. We need a ton of prayers. Our former watchman's woman (not wife), refuses to leave. We need that house for a new watchman. We've had the counsel of several Haitians who said since she signed a paper agreeing to be out by the second of April, she HAS to leave. Our only option is to call in the police to evict her. This is NOT what we want to do, but may have no choice. We need a watchman here, and for that to happen, we need a house for him to stay in. We have a good Christian family willing to come and fill that spot. Pray with us that this woman will do what is right and we won't have to take such drastic measures to get her out. We are scheduled to leave on the 12th of April with Vero, but Don won't be able to leave until we have a watchman in place. So, it's a HUGE prayer request. He is SO ready for this trip.
The dedication of the new children's home is this coming Sunday. After digging through 6 years of photos and documents, I have finally gotten all they wanted for the display table. Took a lot of figuring and redoing, but I have the display board done, and the name tags for everyone who needs them, and the papers they wanted found and printed and the government documents copied....and the list goes on. Sill work to do, but I'm sure it will get done. The committee is working HARD to get things accomplished out at the home. It is amazing how great it looks. They have put a lot of hard work and time into it. Watching the kids has been a joy, seeing them go from being afraid to laughing and clinging. GREAT work out there!!
Here is that board. I know you can't see a lot of it, but it gives a small idea of things. I have photos of the first day we went and saw the land, and those same spots now. The building of the wall....the building of the building....the committee and of course, the kids and staff. The Lord has done some mighty things for this project and we are in awe of the accomplishments.
Continue to pray for Haiti. They are supposed to announce the results of the election tonight. We have heard rumors of demonstrations if certain parties don't win. We'll see what happens. But keep the whole country in prayer. We serve a God who is mighty and able to accomplish things beyond our imagination and we depend on that totally!!
Have a God blessed day!!!
