A Haiti Rescue (1/21/2010 5:13 PM CST)

From Joe Knittig;

On our way home with a sweet boy with a winning smile! Welcome Pierre Pietel. Pierre has a broken femur – now casted. We promised him yesterday that we would not forget him. When he saw us today, he lit up! Today at the same hospital, a man tired to kidnap a boy. That’s happening. And that is why the transition village makes sense. Hospitals and camps are overwhelmed. They need a safe and IMMEDIATE outlet for the Pierres. We can’t wait for hand wringers to come up with “perfect” solutions. Trust me, predators don’t tarry.

Anyway, welcome little Pierre. He has a purple tee shirt and a small black plastic bag with a coloring book and snack – all given by the docs who love him. Those are his worldly possessions as he enters the exciting journey – the rest of his life. God bless you and keep you. In Jesus Name. Amen.

  1. Thank you Joe, and everyone else, for what you are doing there. My husband John and his brother, Bill, will be meeting you and the group at the orphanage tomorrow with their supplies. We are so proud of you all. John and I have a 9 month old baby girl, Elle, and the two of us enjoy reading your blogs and passing on the info. to our family. Keep up the good work:)
    Love, Emily Snyder

  2. Joe, I am praising God that you do have a "solution" to the need for protection of these little ones. May God guide you onward, brother.
