The Chaos in Haiti is calming. There has been looting in the city and burning vehicles in the street. The lost missionary has been found safely. The April mission trip to return Johane to Haiti has been cancelled. There has been relative calm since Sunday the 13th. Praise God for that. The stories are fewer now. School is resuming in Haiti.
I will change our ticket this week. Johane understands that we are not going home on the 19th as planned. She says that she is OK but the stress is showing in other ways. This is hard on her. She has been away from her family since February12th. Her countdown was only 10 days away from going home when it came to a grinding halt. Please pray for my little refugee and me.
She had a wonderful highlight on Saturday. She rode a horse for the first time ever. She had been counting down the days until that occured also. She rode a lovely gentle horse named Molly. She also brought her friend with her. After riding the horse we all went to Chucky Cheese. She loved both experiences and the girls had a great time..
She has never received mail of any kind. On Thursday she got the first letter in her entire life from a friend of mine telling her that Jesus loves her. She was so thrilled. I believe that she could use a few more to encorage her right now. Please consider sending her a little note. Please make it very short and simple if in English or use the following phrases in her native language:
In creole:
Jezi amou ou------Jesus loves you
M'amou ou----------I love you
m'priye pou ou-----I pray for you
m'priye pou ou fanmi----------I pray for your family
Bondye amou ou e t'elman f 'e mwen - ----------God loves you and so do I
Her address is
Johane Dort
In c/o Messiah Lutheran Church
1550 South Poseyville Road
Midland, Mi 48640
Her Birthday is April 25th. She will be 9 years old. This is the first time she will not be celebrating with her twin sister. Happy Bithday is ( b'on f'et)
Please pass this along to anyone who might be willing to bless this little one. This is a tough time for her and she needs to feel the love of Jesus through his people. Thanks Cynthia Kreil
