Yesterday, we received two great miracles!
The first was for Dimelia, as most of you know, we have had since she was a little girl, 3 or 4. She had been badly burned. As a result, she spent years going back and forth to the Shriners Children’s Hospital in Boston. When she was in 12th grade, she graduated from an English-speaking Christian school here in Haiti. So, she could not go to college in Port-au-Prince, because she could not speak French! It took much prayer and a lot of work to get her into an “English-speaking” medical college. We chose one in Jamaica, but it took us over a year to work on her visa. Yesterday, she got her ok on her visa! She just has to go to Port-au-Prince and have her visa put in her passport. When she is ready we want to fly to Jamaica with her and get her settled into college! What a miracle!
The second great miracle was the fuel we finally received! Each day, we were checking the fuel gauge, and seeing it go down to practically nothing! In that case, we would not have only lost electricity but the ability to pump water into our water tower. 35,000 gallons need to be filled three times a day! In addition, Jasson (Jackson), one of our children, is on dialysis each evening. If we did not have electricity, Jasson would die!
On another note, our fuel tank was stopped by the Papaya Gang as it came on the road! The gang asked, “Where are you going?” The driver said, “To Love A Child!” The gang said, “Love A Child? You can go!!” Favor of the Lord!
Now, we are believing God for solar for our entire compound! Can God do it!?? Yes, he can! Thank you, partners, for praying “with us,” and “standing with us,” in this crisis we faced! All praise to God!

We want to wish you a happy Labor Day weekend!
