About the Details

Unfortunately, we've still not heard anything about the paperwork, so we continue to pray for God to work out those details in His own good timing. In the meantime, however, we've been very encouraged to see God working out other small details in preparation for our new project. Some of these details include working out some issues among our young people, preparing all of us for the long road we have ahead of us. But one detail God worked out this past week had to do with 4 young boys who had been abandoned at the HOH over the past few years. (For more on how they left the HOH this week read the HOH blog at: www.houseofhopehaiti.blogspot.com ).

The day the visitors from the mission up the road came to ask us to allow them to take and care for these boys, we felt like God had sent a group of angels directly to our home! We all were riding high on a cloud for the rest of the day. We had been praying for a long time about what God wanted us to do with these boys. We didn't feel like we could leave them behind at the HOH when we eventually leave, but at the same time, they didn't really fit into the vision God had given us for Hope Village. We were making plans to make them fit into Hope Village, praying about having a small home in the village just for them, and trying to find someone who was trained and skilled in caring for special needs children. But we were really seeking God's will in all of that, as it added another dimension to the project that we weren't really sure about.

In the end, God saw fit to take these boys who He has entrusted into our care for the past several years, and give them to another group of His servants. These people are skilled and trained to care specifically for these children, and it was a blessing to see their home for these children when we took them up there this morning. They have everything we only dreamed of being able to provide for these children, and the love and desire to help these boys develop as much as they are able to.

Another small thing that has happened is the starting up of our website. It is really simple at the moment, but our introductory newsletter is posted on there so you can point other people in that direction if they are asking questions about the new project. The address is: www.hopevillagehaiti.org . We hope to add more and more to the website in the coming months, so feel free to take a look there occasionally.

So praise God together with us as He continues to work out the details of our project. And continue to pray with us as He brings it all together...
