Praying Friends, HAITI As you know we've adopted an orphanage of 42 children. They desperately need rent for the home for the next year. This amounts to $ 4000 --- URGENTLY needed if we are to prevent the home being closed down. Time is short for this. We are also helping another orphanage and orphan ministry. They too need help. And they have shared with us that until now, Haiti has been a cooperative country for adoptions by Americans. However, the law is on the verge of being revised, and old laws may be implemented again which are very restrictive and would prohibit many adoptions, leaving thousands of children without hope again. The law would mandate that potential adoptive parents must be between ages 35 - 45 only, and should not already have any children at all. Such a law would cut down by 95 per cent the adoption rate in Haiti. It would be devastating. Please pray against the re-installation of this law. Pray for Mr. Cadet who would be instrumental in making the decision regarding this issue. NB. Haiti was badly struck by the hurricanes. People are starving. Just recently, a baby was poisoned in the hospital by its own mother. That baby was being helped by a friend of mine. This same friend has walked on tiny corpses of dead children who were eaten by pigs. There is no end of horror stories in Haiti, land dedicated to Satan. CUBA, ZIMBABWE, SIERRA LEONE, the world. There are other countries wallowing in dispair with many orphans. Guantanamo Bay in Cuba is littered with Haitian refugees. Their children die of starvation all the time. Honduras is so impoverished. The DR has thousands of Haitian refugees that are treated terribly and die of starvation every day. Jamaica is teeming with orphans that don't have any caretakers. Sierre Leone is a mess. Zimbabwe has all but been shut down. They have had to close orphanages there because of the war and no money coming in. Pray we can find people in Zimbabwe with whom to co-labor. NIKITA Continue praying for dear Nikita, 13-year-old boy who still needs an adoptive family. Continue praying for kids to get adopted. O.F. generally Continue praying for O.F.'s Christmas Project, for the restructuring of everything, including a logo, a new brochure (thus needing a free yet pro. graphic artist to help), for more hands-on help, and an office here where I am. The DVD got fixed, and anyone wanting a copy can e-mail me (we may have to charge the cost price to send it out to you). blessings to all, Janey L.
