The latest
and greatest news from us is that one week before Christmas, we took in two absolutely
beautiful baby twin boys named Mason and Michael, who at four months old lost
their mother to an AIDS related illness.
The story is of a young girl, who packs off to the Dominican Republic
with a few men, who no doubt went to work in the cane fields or “bateyes’ as
they are known here. The infection
rate for AIDS is high in the Haitian work communities. She no doubt came back because she was so
sick. The
babies are doing pretty good. Michael
was dehydrated and stayed a night in the hospital. A few days later, they were tested and are
indeed HIV+ and Michael has syphilis and is spending ten days in the hospital
with a penicillin IV drip that will rid him of that problem. Let me tell you though, twins are a lot of
work! They don’t co-ordinate anything
together! For some more pictures, see
their page in “ti mouns”. |

and Michael shortly after arrival. |

Our
evangelism effort with children is working slowly, but successfully.
On Wednesday afternoons, we pack up the kids (except for the toddlers)
and head for Lachapelle with a projector, laptop and a bedsheet and Trisha
teaches bible stories to about 35 children.
A handful of these kids are from families that adhere to voudou, which
is exceptionally strong out here in the province. (country) Our kids provide a group “anchor”, if you
will, which helps the kids participate in singing and worship. |

Momma, Dado, Fenan and kids load up to
spread the good news! |

When we first started, we had a lot of young adults, who were a bit
noisy, but there none the same. Our intentions
have been to teach young ones from ages 6-12, but the need is there for more
and we intend to meet it some day, when He shows us the way. When our facility is finished, the first
floor is designed to accommodate these activities with quality sight and
sound, out of the weather. These
children hang on every word that Trisha says and are hungry for the love that
is given to them. Praise God! |

Then,
just after the new year, this pretty little girl happened in our lives. We picked up a little abandoned
girl tossed from a car into a crowd in Jacmel, Haiti. Doctors put her
age at 11 months and she had no name. Momma named her Marisa Rae
Comfort! She obviously has been crib bound or car seat bound or just plain
did not move, because the muscle development in her arms and legs is
frightful. She will slip right through your hands if you are not
careful. Her limbs are like flimsy rubber. She has been very
mournful and sad, but the kids are changing that and we are
starting to see some strengthening and smiles. Right now Mason weighs
more than Marisa. She too, is HIV+. |
