Dorothys Update July 8, 2008

"Johnny came home from the hospital after 5 weeks there! Finally his ear infection is cured. He has gained weight! The doctors cautioned that he is still anemic so we must be diligent in giving vitamins and good food. He will take antibiotics to help prevent future infections as he is HIV positive. We are SO glad to have this sweet boy with us. There have been many changes in Johnnyʼs life recently: he left his home to spend a week with Sherrie, spent a week with us, then five weeks in the hospital. He is a little scared of new surroundings and people. Pray for him, please, to be comforted and to be healed.

Pierreline is a 1 month old baby girl whose mother died. The family only knows that mother had a fever 2 or 3 weeks after giving birth, the doctor gave her medicine and she died two days later. Papa and aunt love the baby and did their best for her: they gave her Gerber baby food. They didnʼt understand that she needs enriched milk more than pureed fruit but they did know they needed help. She is beautiful and, thanks to a concerned family, is in good condition. We are thrilled to be able to help her.

Pierrelineʼs papa acknowledged that he is not a Christian but it is okay with him that we will do everything in our power to be sure that Pierreline learns to love the Lord. We will try to introduce papa to Jesus, too. Please pray for this!

Silly car! It has been running so well for a long time but now the a bar in the front end is falling down. Add car repairs to the list of needs that we are asking you to pray for. The Haitian mechanic said the bar isnʼt important, it only stabilizes the car. Hmmm, not important to be stable?

A friend worked on the diesel generator and we think it only needs a battery and an air filter to make it run. The Haitian mechanic said we need to replace brushes in the gas generator.

It seems like we have a lot of problems, doesnʼt it? Two broken generators, a broken inverter, broken car, lack of rain forcing us to buy water again ... Well, thatʼs life. We are in the Lordʼs hands and I know He will solve each of these problems in His own time. He is already working on them. We practice I Thessalonians 5:16-18: Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is Godʼs will for you in Christ Jesus. We give thanks for a houseful of healthy and healing children, for always having food to eat and water to drink, for having a house full of joy and peace, and much, much more.

We thank the Lord for you, too, who are our partners in prayer and ministry. God bless you!
