Miracle of provision

Yes, God is in the miracle business. See our new truck? The dealership, Atlantis Motors, was so happy to give me the truck after weeks of waiting, they also gave a huge arrangement of flowers. Practically everyone came into the garage to witness the delivery of the truck to me. I thank God for providing for us.

We got the truck on Thursday afternoon. Friday, the next day, I made three trips to St. Damien's Hospital (Petit Frere et Souer), admitted one baby, and drove to General Hospital to get blood for the baby. I can drive automatic transmission; the truck is standard. I think the Lord must have laughed and laughed as I struggled with Haiti traffic and hills and driving after dark in the rain with cars coming toward me in my lane.

He laughs gently, though, and every challenge had a successful resolution. His angels kept the truck from rolling into the cars behind us, the baby got her blood, Laura Lynn and I had a nice meal at the restaurant near the hospital, and we got home safely. We laughed ourselves silly, too.

Finances

Our funding comes through Christian Light Ministries, Inc. in Jacksonville, Florida, a 501(c)(3) corporation. CLF deducts 5% for its administrative expenses, currently $420 per month for my medical insurance, and then deposits the rest in my bank account.

CLF does not raise funds for me or their other missionaries. They simply funnel donations through to us and make sure we are doing what we tell our supporters. They provide receipts and 1099s to donors. I am directly responsible for raising my own support.

The children's home here operates just like a family at home. All funds go into the pot and we meet everyone's needs from the pot. Infants, sick and malnourished children need more expensive food than healthy children and need more staff to care for them.

We need about $7500 a month for normal operating expenses, rent and other large expenses. I believe in transparency: questions are welcome.
