DESTROYED: World Renewal Haiti’s Gonaives church, Christ's Compassion Orphanage and school, Pastor Luc’s home and all their contents.
SAVED BY A MIRACLE (and the faithful obedience of Pastor Luc): 25 orphans and 10 adults who survived many days without food and water.
All the children and several adults who care for them are living in our unfinished mission house (under construction for the past several years) with no electricity, running water or household items. They sleep on these bits and pieces of used plywood. 
Help us build them a new church, mission house, school and orphanage...a place of ministry...a place to call home again. Pastor Luc has requested that I come to Haiti often in coming weeks and months. There is much work to do in order to help create a new place that is home again for these orphans and the church in Gonaives. I would appreciate any financial help you can give to get me and others and the resources needed into Haiti multiple times in 2009. We are raising up leaders, and plans are being made to plant 2 churches next year, in spite of the hardship and challenges the believers there are up against on a daily basis.
What a blessing it was to have Pastor Luc in the U.S. for the yearly World Renewal Banquet and training sessions, as well as several receptions to tell the story of recent events in Haiti. Many of you helped us purchase him clothes and many other essential items to take back with him. The truth is, Pastor Luc is one of God's heroes. He is a key leader who is faithful to serve the Lord in the worst of conditions, always with a smile on his face and the light of Christ shining through his every word and deed. Thank you for your help in fanning into flame the ministry of World Renewal Haiti.
Last September after the hurricane (and three days on a roof with no food or water), the only possessions the children of Christ's Compassion Orphanage had was the clothes they wore while they waded several miles to safety under Luc's direction through "murky" flood waters. BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR JESUS trunks had been delivered at the wrong time (or so we thought), but God used that timing to safeguard the bags inside. He knew they would need to open them in October, so they could have a BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR JESUS three months early!!
