Hello everyone! We wanted to give you a quick update and let you know that part of our team is currently back in Santiago, Dominican Republic, for another round of heart surgeries! Praise God for this amazing opportunity to save the physical lives of Haitian children, as well as the incredible chance to teach them who Jesus is and what His love looks like at this crucial time in their lives. We don't have any pictures just yet, but they will come, don't worry. Right now, let me introduce you to the kids and tell you what we have as a schedule so far:
1. Houge is a 5 year old boy who is at the apartment in Santiago now and will be having surgery sometime next week.
2. Bethsaida is a 17 year old girl who is at the apartment and will also be having surgery next week.
3. Eveder is an 11 year old boy who is currently in the OR as I type having open heart surgery. Please lift him up!
4. Ruth DJ Beldor is a 16 month old baby girl who went to Santiago, had an ECHO done and they said her problem should fix itself as she grows... so back to Haiti she went and we are praying for her to continue to improve on her own.
5. Edna is a 14 year old girl who will be traveling to Santiago later this week for surgery next week.
6. Joseph is a 2 year old boy who will also be traveling later this week to Santiago.
7. Wadson is a 10 year old boy who will be traveling with Edna and Joseph later this week as well.
So, that puts us with 1 kid already back home in Haiti, 3 that haven't left yet, 2 at the apartment, and 1 in the OR right now. We will try to keep updates coming here and on our facebook page. Also, we hope to have some pictures up later today! Thank you so much for your support.
Specific ways you can be in prayer right now:
- Eveder and the surgeons who are working on him.
- Eveder's family as this is a very scary time for them.
- Our staff [Greg, Kessy, and Jenny] who are tirelessly working to ensure everyone is safe and comfortable there.
- The staff of the International Children's Heart Foundation who are also working tirelessly to save lives.
Just for fun, and as encouragement for our staff and kids and their families, leave a comment and let us know where you are praying from today!
Our God is an AWESOME God!
Love & Prayers.
