HE makes all things new…
I want to introduce you to our new sister, Renise. Renise is a sweet girl, 13 years old. Her parents died when Renise was 6. Before they passed away, they sold Renise to a family for cash. Last year on an errand into town, Renise was abducted, raped, and is now pregnant. Thrown out by the family she worked for, Renise has been living on the streets of Port Au Prince the last five months and was picked up today by UNICEF. They needed a safe, loving place for her and called us.
You have heard about our kids singing, playing, and laughing. Most of them are doing great! Their strength is a blessing and example to us. Renise is not there yet. Her wounds are too raw. She came in tonight alone and scared. She’s no longer alone, and soon, she won’t be scared anymore. Renise will soon learn she can trust us. She can trust you. This is a safe place for Renise and the child inside her. And as we love her, we will introduce her to Jesus. He can make all things new. Tonight, Renise has reason to hope. She will soon discover that she has a family; a Father who loves her greatly and brothers and sister (you and me).
I don’t know where Renise would be without your giving. On her behalf, I thank you. On your behalf, I will let her know that you love her. Thank you! Press on!
