'He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker,
but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.'
Proverbs 14:31
Greetings!
Just a short update to thank everyone that helped get the
needed food up to the orphanage in Z'Orange, Haiti this past week. The family that runs it,
which we have known for a number of years, put out a plea for food, which is
very unlike them to ask. They take care of a lot of children and food is not cheap
in Haiti.
A special thank you goes to Fred Chalker and Pastor Etienne
of Living Water Ministries. After I emailed the need to get money in country,
Fred called literally within minutes and said he was headed there in a couple
days and would be happy to take the money with him. They met up with our
translator Fednel and got the money to him. Fednel in turn contacted the
orphanage and set up a time to where they could meet so he could buy the food they needed. Fednel even gave me a
picture of the receipts for the food! Thank you Fednel (aka Fedex)!

This need has a special place in Gail and my hearts. We feel it
is extremely important to do what we can in order that they have the nutritious
food they need. It's a tough life for
them. It's day-to-day. The signs of malnutrition are noticeable on the
children. WE CAN CHANGE THAT! With your help, we hope to lessen their daily
burdens by being able to, at the very least, provide the food. There are so
many other needs that take the little money they do have.

This month we were able to get them 3 bags of rice, 1 bag of beans, 1 bag of corn, a bag of sugar, 5 gallons of cooking oil and some sardines. Next month we hope to be able to provide even more and diverse food and hopefully some juice, too! We ask that you consider helping us with this. We would like to work up to being able to give them $500.00 worth of food every month. No, not give them the money, but get them the food! They are taking care of a lot of people and even $500.00 isn't going to cover everything, BUT IT'S A START!

Please consider joining us in helping in this monthly need. Again, thank you for those of you who helped out this past month! God bless all of you...
In His Service,
Chuck & Gail
