Our daughter Jenn and her husband, Jeremiah were in Haiti last August visiting orphanages as part of a missions trip... because their hearts were so moved by the sad plight of the orphans they are adopting from Ethiopia. They wanted to adopt from Haiti but Jenn is only 28 and both parents have to be 30 so they are adopting from Eithiopia instead... this is a blog post from her... the orphanages they visited were in Port au Prince and the one missionary Sherrie has not been heard from or no word on the kids.. if you visit Jenn's blog you can see pictures of the kids in this orphanage and our daughter in one of the pics.. please pray for them and the country of Haiti. Jeremiah's parents are in Florida and serve as a support to the missionaries in Haiti... please also pray for them as they knew the faces of these children and the missionaries and others that have not been heard from.

Wednesday, January 13, 2010Prayer Request: Haiti
As you've probably heard already on the news...Haiti experienced a 7.0 magnitude earthquake late yesterday afternoon, just a few miles outside the capital city of Port au Prince.As I've seen firsthand from our trip this year, Haiti doesn't have the infrastructure or resources to deal with this catastrophe. My heart is absolutely broken for what I know my friends are experiencing right now.Here's an update, from those of you who remember my posts about our trip this year on some of the missionaries we worked with:We have heard that Dorothy Pearce, director of Faith Hope Love Infant Rescue is ok. We aren't certain of her orphanage and children and nannies yet.Marie Prinvall, another orphanage and school director is also ok, as well as her compound and children. Praise the Lord!We have NOT heard any news or been able to make contact with Sherrie Faussey, director of the school and orphanage in Port Au Prince. We have heard discouraging reports about the Delmas 31 area, which is where the school and orphanage are located.I'll post again whenever we hear something more about Sherrie.Some pictures of our trip this year..."Good" housing on a "good" day...Just some of the children at Sherrie's orphanage...They don't get any sweeter than this...Again, "good" houses on a "good" day in Haiti...Please pray.
