March 24, 2008:
We just returned from our trip to Haiti. We hit the ground running at
9:00am March 21st and did not finish until 10:00pm on the 24th.
We visited our friends in their new home - room actually. They have been
invited to rent a room from a friend who was very upset about how they
were treated. Imagine; eight teen girls, a baby and their "parents" all
living in one small room. You can read all about them and see the
pictures in G.O.D. - Girls Of Dignity. This is what we decided to call their
new upcoming orphanage. It defines what these girls are. They are
beautiful and focused on improving their way of life.

December 16, 2007: Starting over
We are back playing the waiting game. We are almost at square one two
years after starting this endeavor.
House sale - tanked
Economy - tanked
Donations - tanked
Spirits - HIGH!
How can our spirits be high.? We are right where GOD wants us. We are
more dependant on HIM now than we have ever been. We have a vision
and everything - EVERYTHING - has come against the success of that
vision coming to pass. The easiest thing in the world to do right now is
give up. That is when you have to press in and press harder. We are at
the bottom again with no place to go but UP! Praise the LORD!
Twenty years from now when we look back at this time, it will be our
defining moment. When it was just me and Bev and we just didn't want to
go on but, we did anyhow.
We press on because GOD went before us.
We press on because our lives are meant to give GOD Glory.
We press on because it is the hard thing to do.
We press on because our treasures await us in Heaven where moth and
rust cannot destroy.
We press on because we have no choice - we are called.
We press on because it is something that has to be done.
We press on because GOD said go.
We press on because people say quit.
We press on because in the danger, death, disease - we see beauty.
We press on because life without meaning is meaningless life.
We press on because the fire has not consumed us.
We press on because there was a cross in the distance and HE pressed
on - even to death.
We press on for the crown and those words we long to hear; "Well done
my good and faithful servants!"
We press on because it is our reasonable service.
We press on because we love.
Peace.

May 8, 2008: Coming soon because you have asked (maybe).
We are looking into Pay Pal because so many people want to give this
way. We said we would not do this so, we are praying that we will be
given some wisdom into this option. So many other ministries accept
credit cards and we want to be different and, we are. We are also
missing opportunities because we have chosen this path. Missed
opportunities versus not being like everyone else.
If you have some input about this, drop us a line or email
Phone: 772-713-8171
email: chris@haitisbabies.org
