A friend, Becki Carlson, will be leading a Visiting Orphans team of 10 experienced orphanage workers to help at Danita's Children orphanage in Haiti. They leave this Monday, 2/1, and Amy Whipp, from our church, will be joining them, serving as their medic. 

This orphanage is already established close to the border of the Dominican Republic - right now they house 78 orphans. Danita will be bringing in 200-300 displaced orphans this week. She has been in Port Au Prince getting this set up. The orphans that she plans to bring in come from other orphanages that were destroyed, come from hospitals, and some are newly orphaned. There are many children with injuries coming.

There is a Visiting Orphans team there this week, so they will be able to give Becki's team a better idea of what to expect. You can follow their blog: Click Here 

Visiting Orphans is hoping to establish a good rapport with this ministry so that they can continue to send teams there to help care for the orphans. If you have an interest in helping on-site this might materialize into a feasible option.

Please pray for this trip.  Becki writes, "We will truly need to be completely covered in prayer the whole week. It is not a good situation that we are going into. But GOD......and He is so much bigger than the evil."

Danita brought in 28 new orphans at 2 AM on Tuesday night. Here they are eating their second meal in their new home...Wanted you all to get a glimpse of their precious faces....

The orphanage moved the pews out of their church to set up enough beds for the new children. Talk about the church being the church!
