An update for May

Greetings,

We thought we’d include some updated photos of all the children.  So, toward the end you will find those.  We have 32 really great kids and they are doing well.  

Veronique was able to attend a missions conference in Alabama.  Her main purpose was to share information on IDADEE.  She took photos of the orphanage, chapel, and school.  Plus she included photos of each of the children.  She shared what is going on and the future plans for the ministry. 

We have added a third floor to the orphanage, and that is where the children’s rooms are now.  It is cooler being up so high, and now we can dedicate more area to different aspects of the ministry.

The children attend school 5 days a week.  We have 6 teachers and the children seem to be doing well.  We also now have a nurse at IDADEE full time.  She lives at the orphanage.  This is an added blessing for everyone.  Prayerfully in the not too distant future we will have a doctor and a clinic at the compound.  Please keep that in prayer for us.  Not only the orphanage but the whole area needs the medical care it could provide.

We are in the process of building the primary school, not only for the IDADEE children but for children in the surrounding area.  That is another area where we need prayer. 

We ask that you continue to keep all aspects of our ministry in prayer.  The Lord will lead us where He wants us to go, but we need to be willing to listen.  So pray for all of the committee as well as the children and workers.  Thank you in advance for your prayers.

And now, on to the children:

We close asking you to continue to pray for IDADEE, the committee, the staff, the workers, and especially the children.   We covet your prayers to keep us doing what the Lord has called us to.  Each of the children are very special, to us, to the Lord and we pray, to you also.  Thank you, and blessings!!

Christmas # 5

I think we are on the final leg of Christmas photos.  Don't forget to look at the previous posts to make sure you have seen them all.

More news at the end of this post.  But enjoy these great kids!!

And we'll start with Yvenel.  He's keeping his treasures close.

 Little Yvrose looks like she'd rather keep going than have her photo taken.

 I don't think Anderson wants to let go of those precious balls! 

 Claude is keeping his cars close to him, also, but he has the other things close, too.

 Emmanuella, the first orphan IDADEE took in, is really pleased with her gifts.

 

 This pretty gal is Daffca Joseph.  She is one the new girls since the last posting.

 This young man is Jimmy Charité, also a new child since the last blog. 

  We will have more to share in the near future, but we wanted to let you see the happy faces of these kids.  And if you were a part of making those smiles come alive, there is a huge thank you coming  your way.  

Please continue to pray for the IDADEE orphanage, the individual children, the committee, the workers, and all the things involved with IDADEE.  God has blessed in a big way and it's because of your prayers and support that we continue to do as He directs.  Know that we are praying for you as we ask you to pray for us!!

Christmas #4 on the way

We just keep going to make sure we get all 31 of the children on here.  Don't forget to check the previous ones for the other children.

Here is Michelande, with her box.  Isn't she cute?

 

 Luphenson is holding his BIG monkey, almost as big as he is!

 Efrayim, the first boy in the orphanage has grown a LOT.  Look at that smile!

 Loveka has no problem going through all her packages. 

 Ruth seems to be enjoying all she has gotten, too.  Girls LOVE the do-dads, don't they?

 They caught Wakenson before he was finished too, but the smile says he's pleased.

 

On to Christmas # 3

Again, please check out all the Christmas posts since it was difficult to get all the children on one post now.  You can see from the pictures these kids are really happy.

We are starting this one with Gaelle.  She can't seem to get enough in her hands!

 Then there is Wadley...can you beat that smile? He had to stack everything.

This is Kendy and he is having a great time.  His main focus is toys!!

This is Kédeline Pierre.  She is one of our new children. 

Jephtey hasn't quite finished empying his box..but kept going after the picture.

And Walcky was having a good time opening his package.
