Prayer Request

You all know of the devastation in Haiti. Bryan and I particularly attuned to the welfare of an orphanage there called For His Glory. It is home to about 120 children, many of whom are already part of a family in the US, but who are waiting there for the 2 - 3 years it takes for their paperwork to be processed.

We are friends with 4 different couples in our church who are pursuing adoptions from this orphanage. My heart aches for them as they are helpless to protect their children right now. Helpless, that is, if it were not for prayer and a Mighty God.

The following is a copied post from their web site:


URGENT CALL FOR PRAYER

We received word from Pierre this morning that the situation in the orphanage is becoming dire.
We would like to ask EVERYONE that receives this to use this information to get on your knees before our Lord and ask Him to provide.

We have one nanny that is deceased and the orphanage needs her body to be removed.

The orphanage has no drinkable water.

In addition they need:
formula for babies
medicines
IV fluids (one child is currently on an IV)
charcoal to cook
diesel
cash to buy supplies if they find them.

They are running out of cash and there are no banks open to get cash, so it needs to be delivered by someone already on the ground or by helicopter.

Others are beginning to rob them of what supplies they do have.

There are helicopters flying over the orphanage and they have made a sign on the roof that says they are an orphanage and need help.

The staff is also working to get together all the paperwork for each child that has an adoptive family in a way that it can be attached to their body if there is an opportunity to evacuate.

For His Glory is doing everything we can on this end to contact people who may be able to help. Please pray. Currently, that is the best thing you can do to help.

Trusting in Him,
For His Glory
