Pray for Haiti's people...especially one near and dear to my heart, Nathia.

I'm sure many of you have contributing funds and prayers to Haiti after the devastation of the earthquake. I think it's awesome how people are coming together in this time of need. I do want to ask you all to lift up the only person I know in Haiti but one who really is a blessing in my life. Her name is Nathia Louis who is 16 years old. She is my Compassion child which I've been sponsoring since 2005. She is one of our 2 children we sponsor. We have been sending her money every month and even when the funds get tight, we never think of giving up on her. We know she is blessed by our gifts and that is something Ryan and I will continue to do regardless of our financial situation. She has been sending us letters for the past 4 years now telling us about her life, her interests, her activities, how's she's doing in school, and her relationship with God. It's amazing to connect with a young girl many miles away. She has truly been a blessing to us.


At this point, we are unsure of Nathia's whereabouts. According to Compassion, she lives in the northern part of Haiti which was not very affected by the earthquake. We are praying that she is safe as well as her family. Please pray for Nathia and her family during this time. And overall, continue to pray for Haiti. I can't imagine what that would be like losing all your family members, your home...everything. Please pray for all the mourning citizens of Haiti.


If you ever want to sponsor a child, go to www.compassion.com. It's a great organization and it's only $38 dollars a month.


Thanks so much for your support.
