How quickly time goes! We are doing our best to keep people informed of whats going on over here in Port au Prince, but the days get away from us more often than not. Anyway... even when our world is like shifting sand and we are inconsistent with this blog, praise the Lord that He never changes and never will, and He is infinitely consistent!

Last week we had a precious family visit us who are friends of the Roberts. Our house was full of life and love with Evonne, Richard, Hallie, and Braiden all getting to experience Haiti for the first time. It was exciting to see how God worked in their lives while they were here. They also happened to be here for Super Bowl Sunday! Even though we are in Haiti, we try to stay in the loop and participate in American things as much as possible. So, a Super Bowl party we had!

We welcomed a new intern this past week, which means we currently have 2 interns serving in Haiti with us. We are beyond excited to see how God continues to grow this part of the Chadasha ministry.If you or someone you know is interested in applying for the Intern Program, click here.

Joanna and Carley!

Another praise... Wilna [a close friend of Chadasha's] delivered a beautiful, healthy baby boy yesterday! There were mild complications and she ended up requiring a c-section, but mom and baby are both healthy and happy now, Praise to Jesus!

And finally, as many of you know, Chadasha is partnered with the International Children's Heart Foundation and roughly 4 times a year we get to take up to 5 Haitian children to Santiago, Dominican Republic, to have lifesaving heart surgeries. Click here to view stories from our last trip. Our first trip this year is taking place right now, and our staff plus kids and guardians left yesterday and have safely arrived in Santiago. The surgeries will be done over the next 2 weeks. Please keep the children, guardians, doctors, and staff in your prayers! We will be updating the blog with progress reports as often as possible. Below are the children we have in Santiago so far to have surgery! As of now we will be meeting 2 other children here later this week.
