News from Haiti
Our kids, staff and friends were not harmed by the recent storms. On at least one night our basement, where the children sleep, flooded and they had to be moved upstairs during the middle of the night. Though it was hectic for all concerned, they were not in danger. Praise God!
One baby rescued from Gonaives has come to stay with us. I expect more as more than 200,000 people in Haiti were left homeless by the floods. Haiti was already experiencing a food crisis: the flooding destroyed almost all of the current crops.
Much Ministries brought all the parts needed to repair our car when they came to Haiti to help with the grueling rescue work in Gonaives. We hope to have our car back soon.
Natasha reports that Poutchino is still have fevers, cough and seizures. The neurosurgeon said it isn't caused by the shunt - it is working fine, the family doctor apparently cured the pneumonia and has no idea why Poutchino's symptoms are worsening. We are desperately worried about Poutchino. Please pray for him!!!!!

Our rent is due in October. If it doesn't increase, we will need $8,400 in October. This building is home to me, 18 children, and currently 3 young American women who are doing ministry in Haiti. It is also the base for our outreach to the community. Please pray that God will provide all the funding that we need, for rent and all other programs.
News from Jacksonville
Surgery to replace my right knee was successful and I am recovering quickly. I am 5 weeks post-op and already in much less pain than before the surgery. I can't wait to get back to Haiti. If all goes as expected, the doctor will release me on October 8th and I will get to Haiti within the next few days.
It has been fun getting in touch with old friends. My friend April Stapp is doing great work expanding Child Evangelism Fellowship in Duval Country. Last year she reached many children by holding Good News Clubs at the Police Athletic League. This year there is a good chance of getting into the public schools and she desperately needs workers to help. Please spread the word: opportunities are unprecedented but there are too few workers. If you want more information about helping, email April at a.stapp.@comcast.net Child Evangelism Fellowship has a website at www.cefonline.com
