HIS Home

We received word today that the deal on the new home that Hal had found in Haiti has fallen through. The plan for right now is to shore up the existing girls/babies home and move into it until God opens the door for a new building- they are in rather short supply right now in Port au Prince. Apparently the girls home has very few cracks in the walls, but it has shifted about 6 inches off of it's foundation. Unfortunately, it is no longer an option to keep the kids outside in the church yard, and no other long term option is presenting itself as of yet. Please pray for the wisdom of the workers as they shore up this damaged building, and for Hal as he continues to search for appropriate shelter for the 58 kids still in his care. Hospitals are beginning to contact HIS Home looking for places to release kids who have no one coming to pick them up. We know that Hal and Chris desire to make a place for as many of these "new" orphans as possible.
Daphna and Gracie are fitting in just fine at home. Daphna is having some "going to sleep" issues, but the rest of the time is a happy and healthy 2 year old is rather enjoys pestering her older brothers. Gracie continues to eat long after everyone else is done at the table and is smiling all the time. I noticed yesterday that many of the creases in her forehead are gone....we think she is relaxing and enjoying this new life. I can only imagine the stress there has been on this little body for the last 3 weeks. She is even beginning to dole out some rather sloppy kisses once and awhile...
Check out the link to the HIS Home 300 Michigan route coming this June. The planning phase is almost completed and rider and sponsor recruitment has begun. The need in Haiti is greater than ever, and it is our desire to do all we can to support HIS Home in being an example of Christ's love to the least of these. We would love to have you join us on the ride.
