Ashes into Beauty

Our God is so amazing!

We have been amazed by God's leading and provision and how He is opening doors for us to purchase the land, construct the Children's Center and become self-sufficient...we are still waiting to touch the promises that we see, but we know they are ours!

One thing that amazes me in how God works though is how He takes our brokenness and weaknesses and uses them for His glory and how even the broken things of this world can be used for glory in His church.

A recent example of this of course is the much publicized Haiti. We have been blessed by seeing the response of the world, but especially of God's people in the face of disaster and have been encouraged as we follow news and especially of some of our dear friends in Florida who we haven't seen since New Hope so many years ago...

Personally we prayed for Haiti and we prayed for our friends who are helping there and we wished that we could have helped...but who would have thought that out of the ashes of Haiti, The Father's Heart Foundation and El Salvador would be blessed?

We received a promise to purchase 50% of the land here and to help with building the Children's Center, but even the company who made the promise didn't know how they would provide all that we need. And then the destruction of Haiti...

as this same company went in with a vision of Nehemiah to rebuild the destruction and follow the same course that he followed, meeting the "King" etc. They were blessed with two contracts to rebuild Haiti. The UN, USAid and UNICEF have contracted them to build 250, 000 homes in Haiti and a local Haitian businessman has contracted them for 10, 000 other homes! We were praising God for the provision for Haiti when God turned that blessing back to us, who are so undeserving and yet, by His grace we humbly accept His amazing provision! With the some of the profit from these contracts the promise to purchase 50% of our land and to help construct the Children's Center will be realized!

But we still need YOU!! We need individuals and corporations to give towards the purchase of the other 50% of the land and to constructing more houses! And we need teams and individuals to come and help build! We also need family sponsors and personal supporters! Please pray and seek God as to how you can give!
