Estapha Louisimon


Bonswa,

As of today, I now support this little five year old Haitian girl named Estapha. We share the same birthday and I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to celebrating future birthdays with her in mind.

Over Christmas, I decided to support a child in Haiti. For a while (up until this afternoon actually), I couldn't decided whether to go through World Vision or Compassion International or one of the many other ones. I got on WV and Com's websites today and after I did a search of Haitian children and birthdays, her picture came up. I decided that she was the one I would support (at least for right now, hopefully more in the future).

I'm encouraged to continue this after reading some of the accounts of people involved in this type of program, supporters and supported. I hope that I can continue to do this for many many years and that she and her family will be blessed through this organization.

Those of you who support a child or children yourself or are involved in Operation Christmas Child or one of the many many other organizations dedicated to helping poor and needy children all over the world, you know what feeling I'm talking about. For those of you who aren't involved in something like this, please try it out at least once. Hopefully, you will find yourself changed for the better and continue to stay involved.

Please continue to pray for the people of Haiti. There is still suffering there, but there is hope.

Haiti Earthquake Anniversary

I received this email from a friend and thought I would pass it on to anyone who reads this. Please continue to pray for Haiti and its people. Yesterday was the one year anniversary of the earthquake that devastated the country, but there is still a long road to recovery that still remains to be traveled. I encourage you to always be in prayer for Haiti, specifically for the spiritual battle that is taking place there. You can't always see it, but you can see the result.

As we come to the first anniversary of one of the greatest tragedies in human history, we want to remember the great solidarity that was demonstrated all around the world toward the Haitian people. We woud like to thank all of you for your prayers and support. We remember the many dead today, but we know that life is about the living. We pray for a greater solidarity for those that are still under the tents and for the country as it's recovering from cholera. Today the churches all over the country are on their knees before God, we want to pray for true repentence and a change of heart.

Thank's to all for helping us serve the Haitian people.
