Daniel's dream

A few years ago I met Daniel and we have become great friends. One day Daniel asked me to take a walk with him. He wanted to show me some children he had a great concern for. They live along the river on a pile of garbage.  This area is very dangerous because when the flash floods come during rainy season. The children get caught up in the flood waters and are dragged down river, many drown. Daniel asked if their was any way I could help him to feed these kids.  Daniel has so very little himself.  He wanted to be able to provide a place for the children to live and food to eat. There are laws in Haiti that need to be followed to open places like this and you have to have to be able to show you have the money to sustain such a facility.  I am happy to say that through the generosity of an organization in Canada called "Gleaners", we were able to help Daniel feed many of these children.  Joy and Hope of Haiti in partnership with the Gleaners were able to bring a very nutritious dehydrated soup into Haiti.  I have been asked to help them to find areas where this soup can be distributed to help the hungry.  So far we have been able to help the children in the OMS schools have hot lunches and help some of the local orphanages feed their children.  This soup has not only fed thousands of people so far all over northern Haiti it has also helped Daniel achieve his dream.  This past week a friend of mine helped me buy Daniel all the equipment he needed to set up a small soup kitchen and begin to feed the kids you see in these pictures.  Daniel's plan is to feed the children 3 times a week to begin with using the soup and rice we were able to provide.  God provides in so many different ways. I love helping young men and women like Daniel who feel God calling them to take action to help others. Here are some pictures of the faces we see along the river.

 Meet Daniel, I had the privilege of leading him to the Lord 2 years ago. He was a student in one of my classes.  A couple of years later his brother came to know the Lord after much prayer.
