Verse:

For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, man live as enmies of the cross of Christ.  Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their their shame.  Their mind is on earthly things.  But our citizenship is in heaven.

18Paske, gen anpil moun k'ap viv tankou moun ki pa vle tande pale jan Kris la mouri sou kwa a. Mwen te deja di nou sa, koulye a m'ap di nou sa ankò ak dlo nan je mwen: 19Moun sa yo ap rive fin detwi tèt yo. Se vant yo ki bondye yo. Yo pran plezi yo nan bagay ki pou ta fè yo wont pito. Se bagay lemonn ase ki nan tèt yo.  20Men nou menm, nou se sitwayen peyi ki nan syèl la.

 

- Philippians 3:18-20a

 

kids:

Yves is a very special young man who has grown tremendously since coming to Maison de Lumiere. Starting out with a rebellious attitude and violent tendancies, he had many problems early on at the home. He decided to leave the home and return to the streets. Hiding from gang members, sleeping under cardboard boxes and begging for food truly humbled him and he returned greatly changed and repentent . He is our true prodigal and a dramatically changed young man who has a sincere and renewed faith in God. Yves is a Non-Resident of MDL.

 

 

Willie and his brother Richard were recently orphaned when their father passed away, leaving them (and six bothers ands sisters) in the care of an older brother. Their older brother is an electrician but did not have steady enough income to support all his family. When he heard us speaking at his Haitian church he approached us in desperation, sharing that he was unable to provide for his syblings. Fortunately, we had room for two more boys and welcomed them in. Willie loves soccer, basketball and gymnastics.
