I found the news about poutchino yesterday and cried with such joy. so many people have been praying for this for so long... YEAH GOD...his faithfulness, kindness, power and grace is overwhelming...i cannot wait to see Poutchino in person...see him walking...encourage him and love on him!
when i found out about poutchi i wanted to run around telling everyone shouting for joy for what God had done and will continue to do in this little boys life. i wanted to be like those stories of people sharing all the miracles they saw Jesus do in the Bible.
Reminds me that those miracles never ever stopped...He continues to do miracles daily... from poutchino to aron and so many more.
PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE GOD!!!!

Dorothy's Update 5/30/09
For the first time in his life (6 yrs), Poutchino took steps all by himself today! He walked just a couple of steps to Beaver Brooks. Poutchino was every bit as excited as Beaver. The rest of us jumped for joy when Beaver told us. This achievement is the culmination of a lot of work by a lot of people to help Poutchino progress. Oh, how I praise God for this precious boy!
Baby Aron is still fragile. We have told him 'goodbye' a few times, sure that he could not live another few hours. I have shaken him to make him start breathing again. He keeps rallying! He has survived edema that made him stiff as a board all over - even his cheeks were too hard to move - and a day of rectal bleeding, lots of clots but fresh blood too, plus seizures. The really scary part is that I have dealt with all of this at home with the email guidance of a wonderful pediatrician in the States. God promised me when I came here that I don't have to know everything because HE does and HE will supply whatever is needed! He has surely done that!
I learned that Aron's fused suture lines (skull) might be fixable but we need a CT scan to get a better picture of his skull and brain. Then, I started finding suture lines running out from his fontanel! Was the radiologist wrong? Did God perform a miracle? No matter how you look at it, this boy is a miracle baby. Praise God for what HE has done!!
Keziah left Haiti a couple of weeks ago. Dannae will leave tomorrow. Casey will leave in a week. It will be the first time in almost 2 years that we haven't had another American living here. I wonder what it'll be like, how everything will get done. These young women have greatly enriched our lives. But change is a part of life and I look forward to seeing what God has in store for us next.
A team from Kentucky came and fixed our plumbing! They also played with the children, cuddled babies, cleaned the yard, and brought us lots and lots of supplies. We thank God for sending such wonderful help.
Something happened to a major power plant in Haiti. We haven't had any electricity for a few days except when we run the generator. Without a car to go buy more diesel fuel we can't run it often or long. I will keep in touch as best I can til the problem gets fixed.
God bless and keep you,

on my mind...
i watched the movie taken tonight...and all i could think about was ALL the girls still out there. YES the dad saved his daughter in the end...yes its just a movie...BUT its reality for so many...and many are still out there...waiting, praying, crying for someone to come for them...so that they can have freedom...
My prayer for us is this Lord that you would fill us up and send us out, keep us from just singing, move us into action...we must go..loving mercy, acting justly, we must go to the broken, to the hurting...we must go...live to feed the hungry...stand beside the broken...set the captive free...WE MUST GO through your mercies and grace...your power and strength!!!! (remixed from God of Justice-you tube it)
selah: think on it.

In Kansas City!
I am home for 3 weeks. I came for my grandmas 90th birthday party, which happened Sunday and a friends wedding on June 13th, which i have the honor of being a bridesmaid.
All this to say...I'm here in kc...I'm at my parents for a week or so and then i will be in the city for the rest of the time most likely. its good to be home, but i also miss Georgia and being a part of whats going on there each day.
there is much to update you on as a few things happened before i left, but i don't have time for it today...because i have to run some errands- get my miracle phone activated(story to come), go through my stuff at Bea's for a garage sale(story to come) and a few other things.
the next chance i have to sit down i will write a longer blog filled with those stories and some other exciting stuff.
also i hope to be speaking at some Church's if possible while i am here and will give updates on when that is in case anyone wants to come.
until then...blessings and more for each of you!

Dorothy's Update May 24 2009
Do you remember that our mission is to help families keep their children? We take babies in when they are sick or malnourished beyond their family's ability to care for them, nurse them back to health, then return them to their families. We have sent three! healthy children home with their families in the past 2 weeks! Praise God!
Pierreline came in June 26th last year. She was about 6 weeks old, a healthy 9 lb. baby but her mother had died. Her papa visited often during the 11 months she was here. She was happy to leave with him and he was ecstatic to take her home! We had fun packing cute baby girl clothes for her and as much food and stuff as we could spare.
Eliezer just came here in February with swollen legs from beginning kwashiorker malnutrition. Sadly, his mother cried when I said he was going home with her --- not because she doesn't want him but because she can't give him all that we can. I wish she could understand that the love, the belonging, that she can give him are far more important than our food. We gave her lots of food and clothes and assured her she can continue coming here for help. My heart aches for all the families like this one who want so much for their little ones.
Bethsaica came to us early January. She had been losing weight since her mother stopped breastfeeding her at 4 months. We built her up to a good weight and sent her home with food and clothes also. Hers is a close-knit family and we were all glad to see them reunited.
It's hard to describe the mixed feelings I have when a child goes home - sadness at letting them go but rejoicing that a loving family is reunited. Oh, and lots of worry that something might happen to them. I have to remind myself that they belong to God, not me.
Little JJ went to live at Sherrie's orphanage. At over 2 years old and in good health now, he needed to be with older children where he could run and play. Sherrie's kids were his neighbors in Gonaives. When they saw his baby pictures and were told he was coming to live with them, they said that couldn't be true because that baby died! The last they remembered, he was a sick malnourished baby going off to the hospital. Since he didn't come back from the hospital they assumed he was dead. What a nice surprise for them to see him alive in Port au Prince!
As we move healthy kids out we make room to bring in more babies who need help.
Sterline came to us on April 29th. She was 4 months old and had just been operated on for hydrocephalus. She weighed 6 lbs. The physician visiting us from Miami said she probably would have been only 4 lbs. with a normal head. She is gaining weight. Her twisted feet are being treated at Healing Hands for Haiti. She may have vision problems but otherwise seems normal. She reached out and touched my face today. It was a sweet moment...
Herode and Aron came in from Gonaives Friday afternoon. Herode is 18 months old and very malnourished. He has been in the care of a missionary family for a couple of weeks. They did a great job getting him on his feet again. He will only need to stay here a couple of months and can then return to Gonaives.
Aron is only 2 months old, 4.5 lbs. He was in very bad shape, very stiff, tremors, wandering non-focusing eyes, no suck reflex, etc. Worse, we couldn't feel any suture lines in his scalp. The next morning a radiologist confirmed that there are no suture lines: his skull is completely fused which means his head cannot get bigger and there's no room for his brain to grow. We are searching for treatments but the likelihood is that all we can do for this precious boy is give him hospice care, making him as comfortable as possible for whatever remains of his life. Pray for him, please!
Madeline and Roseline came in April to stay with us temporarily while the Merritts, who are going to accept them into their orphanage, are out of town. Madeline, somewhere around 2 or 3, was severely malnourished but now she can stand on her own and should walk soon. She looks like a different child. Roseline is 6. She had nasty sores on her foot so she needed to be in a place where she could be treated every day. Both have been a joy to have in our home.
Our need for a new car is getting very pressing! Part of the cooling system, where a radiator hose attaches to the metal engine, rusted out. Friends - who are busy with their own ministries - are driving us around. Please pray for us to get a new car, a miraculous gift from God of a reliable vehicle so we can get sick babies where they need to go when they need to get there!
My computer died. I am typing this on a laptop loaned by Sherrie Fausey. The pictures I had picked out for this email and my blog are on the dead computer. Praise God for selfless friends, and pray for a new computer for me and for all of our pictures and data to be saved from the dead computer.
We have been going thru a lot of supplies with these sick babies coming in. If you can help, we need:
preemie diapers for babies over 4 lbs
baby formula with iron - regular and preemie mixtures
zantac for Poutchino
singulair for Kervens
injectable phenobarbital for babies like Aron
liquid vitamins with iron for babies
pediatric nasal cannulas
If you can provide any of this, contact me about getting it to Haiti. Shipping thru Agape Flights costs me about $2.25 per lb. so i would rather find someone coming to Haiti who has room in their suitcase.
I would greatly appreciate your financial help should God lead you to send donations thru Christian Light Foundation. Our wonderful staff need to be paid on time but that isn't possible this month.
Keep checking the blog for updated photos! Many thanks for your prayers and support for these sweet children.
Love and blessings,

darfur
what if the kingdom of God really is about changing these situations...he calls us to take care of the widows and the orphans...so lets do that. we can be pray warriors and take the nations for Him, we can go there and fight for peace and justice. not because its the cool thing to do in the world today, but because its where the heart of the Father is and what is right.
i want, but more than that i hope we all want to live this quote by Erma Bombeck...
when i stand before God at the end of my life, i would hope that i would not have a single bit of talent left and could say...'I used EVERYTHING you gave me.'
red hands
BE A PART OF SOMETHING...CHANGE THE WORLD!!!
i think that when i get back from my trip to kansas city (may 23-june 15) i am going to try to get something going with the red hand campaign at the market place!!!

my footprint/ our footprint
Hey everyone take this quiz i remembered it today... and wanted to share it as i am starting to get a little more on the regular with helping the marketplace be more green friendly.
http://www.myfootprint.org/en/visitor_information/
still have so much to go in terms of my own life though...i cannot claim to be amazing when it comes to being as green as i should be. when i took the quiz it said we would need 5.31 earths if everyone lived like i did...so not so great, but it encourages me to try harder and be more aware of my actions on our earth.
God did call us to have dominion over the land and steward it well. so lets do are best to do what we can to make a difference!!!

letting go...
So after i decided to jump in down here foreal...i thought oh i should cancel my return flight and drive a u-haul down with all my stuff. since i will be moving into the cottage. (i am so blessed)
anyway...i spent one day calling and talking with companies trying to figure out if it was possible, but it was completely out of my price range. so i am letting it go...
at first i was having a hard time with this...see i love to decorate and create a space...in fact i LOVE decorating magazines and secretly kinda wanna be an interior designer (but its not my true calling) so when i like something sometimes and can visually see it in a space...its hard for me to let it go. i get kind of control freak about it...or at least inside my head. everything has its place and it must always return home etc. (if that makes any sense to anyone, but me) i know its ridiculous.
all that to say even though the Lord has blessed me with amazing things, most free, or really really cheap, or a gift...i didn't like the idea of not being able to decorate the cottage without my stuff... to make it home without the things that have been part of my traveling home for a long time...
however after prayer, thinking, and truth from fellow dear friends...i realized that its just stuff...and i never really have been that materialistic of a girl so why was i trippin... the real kicker was i felt like God said 'i provided all those things before, why would you think i wouldnt do it again...' i was humbled.
then so divinely planned my things have a place to go. so wonderful is the works of my Father in heaven. the last weekend i am home on my visit to Kansas city a neighborhood garage sale is happening for someone i know...and i can put my stuff in it!!! how great is that!
so i have much peace and am starting to get very excited about what gifts the Lord has for me to make the lil cottage really feel like home. to decorate it with new things to me. i definitely trust that there will be as the market place has a thrift store aka the cool stuff store!
so here i go hunting for treasures from the Lord....

inner activist!
I'm totally on this whole posting video clips thing. its way fun!!!
but besides that this one and the i heart revolution have much to do with what much ministries is about...a small community with a global heart...changing the world...finding the inner activist and going after it!!!
my job here is expanding as this week i am going to start working on the website with the help of BO Mann (he's way awesome btw) and then i am hoping to get more action things going...connect people and bring awareness...stop ignorance...and fight for change.
there are so many issues in the world today and i want to touch a lot of them...open windows to as many as i can...so that others can decide which door they want to enter in and bring freedom!!!
i have already connected people with invisible children. i plan on amnesty international, the one campaign, save darfur, oxfam...all of these groups are stepping out in action. i want to give people a chance to see that writing letters, emails or attending a peaceful protest are all things that can influence and encourage leaders in this world to make a stand so that justice will happen. INNER ACTIVISTS GET READY!!!

FYI
also if you are reading this and you are confused about timeline...go to the post in april called graduate school...its long but really explains lots.
thanks for reading this. i am blessed.
thanks for reading this. i am blessed.
the cottage
The brooks home...aka sunny brooks farm, (also where the shop used to be, but is now the market place down the road) is about 5 acres and not only has their home, but a pond, green house, cottage and studio area/shop where the MP first began. we are cleaning out the cottage for me to move in there...its very exciting. i love becs but i wont have to share a room with a ten year old. it was great for a few months, but since i will be staying here for much longer...I'm very excited about my own space.
its really cute...a bit bigger then my one bedroom apt. in midtown Kansas city...and it also creates a space for people who need immediate assistance to stay with me instead of Rebbecca getting kicked out of her room in a sense. i mean she always handles it with such grace. she is really wonderful about it...for instance when Jillana needed a place right away Rebbecca didn't complain once about not sleeping in her room for a week.
plus in the long run...i really think that mama Kati wants it to be a place for people who need assistance right away for the night. plus Casey will be home soon and we are talking about sharing it. making the office room the bedroom and the bed room storage and dressing area/ bathroom and shower area. plus then there is a decent size kitchen and a little sitting room. okay so i think it probably is bigger than my little one bedroom in midtown, but it has that same cozy, small, simple feel to it. i love it!
so its very exciting...lots of work to do, but all very good! PRAISE GOD!

Oprah today!
Today Chicago will FINALLY be rescued. PRAISE GOD!!!!! in fact Oprah Winfrey canceled her scheduled program to bring Bobby, Laren, and Jason to talk about whats happening in central east Africa today. how amazing is this PR... to bring about awareness. Chicago was the last city to be rescued out of 100 cities around the world and after one day short of a week...now 100's of leaders and influential people have rescued activists declaring they will help to make a difference.
