The Good Neighbor Orphanage

    In early September, The Good Neighbor Orphanage opened its doors, and 16 Haitian children moved into their new home.  What a thrill it was to see those precious children’s faces!  These little ones now know they will have somewhere to call home.  They will eat three meals a day, do their school work, and have a safe place to sleep at night.  They know they have a group of caring people who will love them and take care of them.  We believe the Lord has entrusted these children into our hands to love and protect, and He knows we will teach them about our Lord and Saviour.  All these children came to us through their churches, and are orphans with no place to go.  Already the pastors of the Baptist churches in that area want us to expand the orphanage to take more children.  The need is so great.   

    These children are the future of their country.  If we can make a difference in these children’s lives, they will make a difference in their children’s lives, and that will be Haiti’s future.  “…the Lord said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.” (Deuteronomy 4:10)

     John Thelus, the coordinator of the orphanage and pastor training project in Port-au-Prince, has done a wonderful job in getting the orphanage up and running.  He and his family have been very instrumental in getting the work done to make this house a home for these children.

    During the first week of November, Don and several others will be in Haiti, working with a group of pastors from the local churches.  These men come from miles away just to get the training and support that will enable them to help their congregations.  These pastors are more than willing to ask questions, soak up information and training, and learn all they can about serving their people.  They love the Lord and readily accept any training we provide.  We have a core group of pastors who work to bring others to these conferences, and every time we conduct a conference, there are more in attendance.

     Please pray for our work in Haiti.  There is so much civil unrest in that country, but God has opened the doors for us to bring help and encouragement to the pastors and a safe place for the children in the orphanage.
