Today is a new day

"You are the light of the world.  A city on a hill cannot be hidden.  Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.  Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the home.  In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
 
"14Se limyè nou ye pou moun sou latè. Moun pa kapab kache yon lavil ki bati sou yon mòn.  15Ni yo pa limen yon lanp pou mete l' anba yon mamit. Men, yo mete l' sou yon etajè, pou l' klere pou tout moun ki nan kay la. 16Konsa tou, se pou limyè nou klere devan tout moun, pou lè yo wè tout byen n'ap fè yo, y'a fè lwanj Papa nou ki nan syèl la."
 
Matthew 5:14-17
 
Our team meeting will be in the same place as last time, the prayer room at KHC Torrance.  We are having a guest speaker that I am 100% sure you will enjoy.  Don't forget tonight is our prayer meeting at 7pm at Mimi and Andrew's.  It would be great to have as many of you there as possible.  If you need directions or the address, please email or call us.

James is a strong silent type. Shy and uncomfortable around crowds, he has strong leadership skills and is an excellent athlete. He is also one of our most helpful children around the house, the first to pick up a broom or mop to clean things up. He is an orphan.

Renise came to the Port Au Prince from northern Haiti with her sister to beg and raise money to help her poor family. Life on the street, however, turned out to be more difficult than she thought and she experienced much trauma. She tends to stutter, speaking only one word every few seconds, when she gets excited or upset. She does not speak of specifics in her life or what she has experienced. She claims to have forgotten most of what has occurred over the last few years. She is a precious little girl who glows when someone hugs her and shows a true interest in her. She loves school and her best friend is Chedeline.
