JOCELYN is our in-house comedian and jokester. Always smiling and ready to joke around, he loves to have fun and is quite social. He will gladly greet and meet any new visitors to the home. Soccer is his favorite sport and he tries to play often. Having a big heart for the younger kids at the orphanage, Jocelyn readily chooses to play with and teach them over playing with the older boys. He also has a very serious side and is passionate about things that are important to him. He loves Jesus and wants to one day serve full-time in ministry, to share the hope he has found in Jesus. He loves Bible study, and praise and worship time. Please pray that the Lord will continue to shape and mold Jocelyn into a Godly man that will dramatically impact Haiti for Jesus.

RENISE came to the streets of 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 expected and she experienced much trauma. She used to regularly stutter, speaking only one word every few seconds when she got nervous or upset. She does not speak of specifics in her life or what she has experienced, claiming to have forgotten most of what occurred over the last few years. Today, she is very confident, and an outstanding student. For the last few years, she has been at the top of her class. She also has made many friends at school. She is a precious little girl who glows when someone hugs her and shows a true interest in her. Having a deep profound faith, she wants to one day dedicate her life to helping share Jesus with other children living on the streets. Please pray for her continued growth in the Lord and knowledge of His Word.
