It was a hot, sweaty day when an older man was passing through a village and heard the cry of a baby… faintly. There was no one around and all he could see was a Haitian “outhouse.” He followed that faint whimpering cry to the inside of a filthy-smelling outhouse. There, he looked down and saw a baby, struggling to live on top of the sewage. He went to the people of the village, got a rope and bucket, and pulled the baby up. The women of the village washed the baby and sent him to the nearest hospital. They, in turn, called one of our workers, who called us and said, “Can we take in a baby who was thrown away in an outhouse?” We said, “Yes.”

We brought him home and named him “Moses.” Moses is now 17 and in 9th Grade. He is very intelligent and makes good grades in school. At our Children’s Home, he helps with yard care, washing cars and trucks, and doing anything else he is told to do. He loves to play soccer… He is a good kid, but he needs to learn some lessons about “where God brought him from.” So, he will be going to a special “summer school” when school is out so that he can learn the Creole Proverb… “You won’t know where you are going, until you know where you came from…” Some of our other kids have had to learn this lesson too. I’m sure Moses will pass his “life lesson.” (smile)

We know God has a plan for Moses. Thank you for your love and prayers.
