Sorry it's been a while since an update - it's been quite a crazy few days with a number of developments and set backs. I am going to try not to be too detailed here (very difficult for an extremely detail-oriented person).
The parents of our orphanage (Maranatha Orphanage run by Heartline Ministries) have been working as a group with another orphange to obtain Humanitarian Parole wavers to get the kids over here. To clear up a misconception some of you know about, we are not connected with the BRESMA orphanage that has been on the news, there is another orphanage in PAP (Port-au-Prince) with 150 orphans and this is the group we are working with together.
Yesterday we had been told that we had the Humanitarian wavers and they were working on the logistics of flying the kids out. That now seems a bit more uncertain as the government is trying to figure out a "policy" to deal with this situation and that seems to change hour by hour. Ultimately, it still sounds like they are committed to getting any kids out that have a referral to a family even if there paperwork wasn't in Haiti yet (which is us since our paperwork is all pulled together and at the translator) but priority may be given to those further in the process.
We know that God has a perfect plan and his timing is perfect as well. Please join us in praying for:
The people of Haiti in general - there is so much loss and suffering but also hope and help.
For Saraphina, Olivier, the rest of the Maranatha children and all the other orphans - for safety/security and provision or food/water until they can come home.
For the process of getting them here safely and hopefully soon.
For Heartline Ministries as they open their women's center as a medical clinic and reach out to those around them in great need.
Thank you all for your prayers and offers of assistance - we are so grateful!
