Hi All Family, Friends and Supporters,
Thank you for your prayers. I have been asking God how He wants me to help the earthquake victims all week long, for Him just to show me and I would do it. I also must admit I had been praying that He would ask me to do anything but take in more orphans!!! During the week, Twilla Haynes, the president of Eternal Hope in Haiti has been working on plans for relief efforts, which included helping orphans. Yesterday I went to Sunday school and was blessed by a lesson on Self-Confidence. The lesson was about not placing our confidence in ourselves or in others but in God only. I asked the Lord to show me if I had this sin in my life- as I didn't see that I did. After a service that was a real blessing I was talking to some other missionaries who work with orphan children, and they asked me if I was going to be receiving more orphans. They were getting 50 more added to their ministry. PANIC started rising in my heart at the thought. As I was driving back to the orphanage, I started looking at the size of the problem, my total inability to handle more, the overwhleming nature of the workload already before us etc. The Lord immediatley should me my guilt of looking to my abilities. I was convicted yes, more orphans would be too much for me, but not for God, He is not limited which is why I must put my trust in Him. The workload has also been more than I could do, and He has always been faithful to do the impossible.
So we are making ready to open our doors to some of the orphan children of Port au Prince. We desperetaly need your financial support to be able to continue to care for those we have and to be able to receive more.
Your relief funds will enable us to:
-prepare a place (either complete some construction on our new property to be able to house new children or rent a property adjacent to the orphanage)
-buy the set up supplies necessary for each new child- beds, mattresses, clothing...., plus the admission process (lab tests)
-hire new staff, and pay monthly salaries
-provide for ongoing needs, food, education etc to integrate the new arrivals.
Also our oprhanage vehicle is not functioning, beyond repair. We need a good vehichle to be able to serve all the children we have.
Funds for these efforts can be sent to: Eternal Hope in Haiti (EHIH), and designated for "relief effort." Their mailing address is: EHIH, PO BOX 307, Hoschton, GA 30548.
You can also continue to send your support for me and the ministry to the orphanage to the regular Hands of Love mailing address we have: Hands of Love Inc, designate Haiti, 9408 Highlander Blvd, Walkersville, MD, 21793.
Thank you in advance for standing with us to help the many new orphans of Haiti,

PS many of you have written to me individually, thank you, however the response at this time makes it impossibile for me to respond to emails individually.
We greatly need your prayers, financial support, and will notify you in the coming days of supplies needed which can't be sent. However there are several barriers to getting supplies in at present, as many flights and containers are directed directly to Port au Prince, so it will be difficult for us to get the supplies, money is better so we can purchase things here.
