We were able to make the trip to the mountains of Cupois where Lonia is from. We took her to see her family. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins and many church people were there and thrilled to see her and hear her miraculous story. We have a school there at the church at Cupois and her grandpa is the deacon in charge of things. He is a very faithful and dedicated man. He also oversees the school, which isn't much yet. There is one teacher and about forty students of kindergarden and first grade. It is because it is so hard to find teachers in this remote area that this one teacher has such a burden. His willingness has made it possible for forty children to attend school. There are so many more children who still needing sponsors, like the children in the picture. They came to see what all the white people were doing way up there, off the beaten path. The desire they have most is that we would hand pick them, choose them. Tell them it's okay now. Their life is going to be different now because we have found a sponsor for them and they are going to learn to read and write. Some of them are so excited because they know the secret that their parents hide, that most of them can't even write their own name. You could be part of making that difference in the lives of one of these children. We only ask $40 per month to sponsor one of them. This will provide them with a uniform, books and the opportunity to really make a life for themselves. This is huge in a country like Haiti where girls are condemned at a very young age to having children. I know young girls, fourteen and fifteen that are having babies. You can sponsor a child at Berea Christian Schools and you can help us stop this vicious circle. Please pray about it and see how God really wants you to help. May God continue to poor his richest blessings out on you as you continue to serve Him faithfully. Thank you for all your support of our ministry in Haiti. It would be IMPOSSIBLE without your help.
Crazy for Christ,
