I have been back in Haiti twice more, returning this last time April sixteenth. The Lord has seen fit to build the ministry there in a most awesome way. While there early in March, with a team from Iowa and Washington State, the Lord enabled us to open a third House (My Father's House Haiti III) and to place all of our girls therein. We put forty-six beds in it, a new range, refrigerator, tables, chairs, mattresses, beanie babies etc. and forty girls & matrons. It's a beautiful house and only one story so that they'll sleep in it. (Most Haitians do not want to sleep inside and really do not want to sleep in anything two story.) Our team also finished a roof section at My Father's House Haiti I and preliminary work on our guest house, which will also become the residence for Predestin and his family. Table games were built for the children, some preaching was done and a good fruitful experience was had by the five fine brothers who came down. We are grateful that they came.

Praise God for His faithful love for the orphan. We have searched for some time for another facility to rent and fill with children. Until recently to no avail. But God has directed us to another 'house' in another district of Andhra Pradesh State. It was used as an orphan home until the woman who ran it died. Her sons did not want to continue the orphan work and drove the hundred children who resided there away and put the property up for sale. One of our pastors in the area heard about it and told our national director. The Lord enabled us to purchase the land and the three buildings there on and, because of God's faithfulness to His children, we are searching for the children who formerly resided there, to bring them home. We will also put another hundred children in the facility as the Lord brings them in. We will turn none away. Praise God for His faithfulness!

Ruthfina Johnson, an orphan girl put out of an orphanage because turned sixteen and was no longer internationally adoptable, is a resident of Precious Life Home of Hope (a Wordsower sponsored home for orphan teen-age girls) in Monrovia Liberia. Three months ago she gave birth to Gabriel, a bright eyed little boy born into a sad and troubled land. In the sadness and heartache that is life in Liberia Gabriel died Wednesday April 22nd. Oh that she would know the comfort and consolation of her heavenly Father.
