For Jonathan Sake

I am writing right now with a heavy heart in the wake of what is happening in Haiti. I am asking for prayer. As of this afternoon the ability to provide for my Outreach program is limited due to the after mass of the earthquake. Which means come tomorrow afternoon I have to tell 30 parents that they don't get to provide for their special needs kids. They have to go back to watching their family suffer in an even more devastating time. The earthquake has affected everyone. My heart hurts but there is a reason for it, it makes me see the needs of others and figure out how to go from feeling hopeless to doing something.

For Jonathan Sake is the reason I only have 23 kids in my orphanage and I love it, it keeps kids with their parents, it shows this culture they are worth a hot meal, medical attention and love. No, these kids are not found in the mass of the devastation happening at the capitol but they are affected by it fully.Within the last week I have had to turn families away from medical help, comfort a mother holding onto the loss of her little girl this last Sunday, hold a little boy at the age of 5 being only 15 pounds and feel helpless by massive needs right outside my doorstep As I am surrounded with families that have sick kids due to their disability or starvation, I am asking for prayer to go up with a specific name tonight for Haiti. I know we have a BIG GOD!



Because of Him,
