Haiti - Orphanage

After a week of devastating pictures from the Haiti earthquake, good news stories are beginning to filter through. A February mission trip to Haiti had been scheduled by the youth minister of Trinity Bible Church and my son, Nathan, had volunteered to help out at an orphanage just outside Port au Prince. The Youth Minister, John Barnes and his wife Christi, returned to the U.S. from Haiti the day before the earthquake. They had been at the orphanage working on the slow adoption process to bring home a child, Eva. Tonight, on the news, there was a video about their plight. The good news? The adoption process has been expedited and Eva, through the American Consulate, will soon be on her way to Texas.
