10 DAYS

WOO HOO!  It's going to be a short update today.  Thursday is our team meeting, we are still reserving the room.  Saturday whoever wants to can come to TiGeorges and the refugee camp exhibit.  Then Monday night is the prayer meeting thing that I will have more info on tomorrow and FRIDAY WE leave!  We had 35 people come to our blog today!  Wow!  I don't know how that happened?  Anyways, don't forget to be sending it out to your peeps: http://khchaititeams.blogspot.com/  I will be updating it while we are gone.  I also have an email list of about 290 people I will send stuff to haha.  Ridiculousity.
 
I have got like 180 emails today.  I know some were from Child Hope. ah yes.  You can tell how Haitian Bill is becoming, in one email he said No Problem 4 times.  Anyways we are well on our way to making a rooftop garden and having a medical clinic and painting stuff.  We also have the possibility of having electricity at the home we are staying at.  How much is always the question.  We will see, but God will work it out if he wants us to have it.
 
The Cost of Following Jesus 
57As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." 58Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." 59He said to another man, "Follow me." But the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father." 60Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God." 61 Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family." 62Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."

Pandan yo t'ap mache, yon nonm di Jezi konsa: M'ap swiv ou tout kote ou prale. 58Jezi reponn li: Chat mawon gen twou yo, zwezo nan syèl la gen nich yo tou. Men, mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen pa gen kote pou m' poze tèt mwen. 59Jezi di yon lòt: Swiv mwen. Men, nonm lan reponn li: Mèt, pèmèt mwen al antere papa m' anvan. 60Men, Jezi di li: Kite moun mouri antere moun mouri yo. Ou menm, al fè konnen gouvènman Bondye a. 61Yon lòt di l' ankò: M'ap swiv ou wi, Mèt. Men, kite m' al di moun lakay mwen yo orevwa. 62Jezi reponn li: Moun ki mete men nan yon travay, epi k'ap vire tèt gade dèyè, moun konsa pa ka sèvi nan peyi kote Bondye Wa a.

 - Luke 9

Evans is one of our most recent additions to Maison de Lumiere. A very sweet boy, he was well known on Delmas, the main street through Port Au Prince, where he and his brother Gibson would walk down the center of the street, red cloth in hand, wiping windshields for coins. Favorite subject is Gods word and his favorite thing about the home is the games.

Gibson is Evans younger brother and a very sweet child also. He grew up begging on the streets of Port Au Prince. Since arriving at the orphanage, Gibson and his brother have not stopped playing -- almost as if they were trying to make up for lost time. His favorite subject in school is stories and his favorite thing to do at the home is to play with his little motor car.
