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.

An opportunity for men and women to serve the Lord Jesus through service to orphans in Africa, India and Haiti.

Oh my! I just realized how long it has been since I last communicated with you. Please accept my apologies.

The Lord has heard our prayers and has directed us to a property suitable for the expansion of My Father's House India. This property is over two acres in size and has three buildings, two of which are immediately useable for housing children. The other building needs plaster and paint.This facility was used as an orphanage until the woman proprieter died suddenly. Her son, who is not a believer, sent the children away and stated that he wanted to sell the property. We have undertaken to buy the property, retrieve the orphans who lived there and fill the houses with new orphan children. We should be able to house over two hundred of the Father's children therein. Praise God!

My Father's House is two houses (soon to be four) full of orphan and abandoned children. Some of our children have lost both parents. Some have lost one parent and the remaining parent couldn't care for them, and so the parent just walks away leaving the child to fend for itself. Some were found abandoned & brought to us. Some were deposited at our door. We will turn none away. One little girl was brought to us by her mother. The mother said she had two children, one had died of malnutrition and she didn't want this one to die as well. "Would we take her?"Of course we took the little one. We have received starving, dirty, uneducated orphans from 'failed' orphanages. God has provided a place for them with us.

We are back in the USA... and grateful.

Jason and Sharon are currently Safe at the US Embassy in Haiti. They are awaiting air travel to the Dominican Republic where they will be transferred to the US likely in a few days. Thank you for your continued prayers and support.

Grace. Just got email for a few minutes. We are fine. Our children, staff, and buildings are fine. Pray for Haiti. Much death, destruction and dying. Our team has been working in medical relief, rescue, and encouraging the children. We are still trying to get out of Haiti today, Thursday, and request prayers for everyone's safe transit to the airport.
