Greetings and Happy Friday!
Here are some highlights of the week:
  • Containers are on the way to Haiti, Angola, Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica (2 containers) and Peru (4 containers).
  • Please pray for George Hage and all his friends in Boise, Idaho. They raised the funds for a full container of wheelchairs and are now on the way to Uganda to distribute them.
  • Please pray for the safe return of our staff member, Angela Gomez, and two others who visited Honduras this week to meet with our distribution partners and bless the wheelchair recipients!
    • Map of HaitiOften our best chosen words do not even approach
    what we actually see in a photo:

    This story comes from Reverend Max Manning of Global Missions Church.  Many consider Haiti as one of the poorest countries on earth. It is, in fact, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Global Missions Church is in a primitive village called Madame Beauge, but the Haitians call it Little Africa.  It is one of the poorest places in Haiti.So you get the picture, the poorest place in the poorest Noelcountry. 

    You see Noel in the photo.
    Crippled from birth, he has never taken a step.  Yet when Reverend Max gave him his new wheelchair, 200 village children offered their help to assist him. Noel’s family is the village, and they look after him.

    Noel said to Reverend Max “I like money.”  Reverend Max later learned that Noel has never had a single piece of money in his life. Physically poor, financially poor, but as measured with love, Noel is a wealthy boy.
