hope for Haiti


 Haitian people seek refuge at Lifeline's Grand Goave headquarters.

How horrifying are the photos and reports from Haiti, which suffered a 7.0 earthquake last week.

My family has a connection to Haiti: our church, Delaware Christian, supports Lifeline (sending work teams to Haiti several times) and we have sponsored three different children there for several years through Lifeline Christian Mission. We have no idea of Jamesley, Valancia or Manita's condition; we have faith that God and his workers are taking care of these children.

Lifeline Christian Mission is in their 30th year ministering in the desperately poor country of Haiti. Founders Bob and Gretchen DeVoe have worked tirelessly all these years to establish a mission, orphanage and school. They have been God's hands and heart in Haiti (along with many other fine organizations), feeding, educating, supporting and loving thousands of Haitian people.

If you have a desire to help in some way, go to Lifeline's website. There you will find specifics to help meet immediate needs, as well as the ongoing needs that will be required for years to come.

Lifeline is a solid, reputable organization and I am certain - and thankful - they will be a literal lifeline to the people of Haiti.
