Kids for God's Kingdom Orphanage

One of our main objectives on this trip was to visit the orphanage that Wendi and Kim O'Dwyer have started. We had the most wonderful time there as we had a chance to play, feed and enjoy each of their 7 kids they currently have in the orphanage. We were very surprised by the accommodations as the place where they are is a nice home that has been provided them to use for the orphanage. The home is enclosed within a 8 foot walled area that has lots of space. The home has 3 large bedrooms, large kitchen, dining area and a large living room area inside with a large open area outside. God truly has blessed them with this facility and it gives them plenty of space to care for the children. And I believe it is rent free. It's a wonderful story of how God provided the home which is owned by a man that is currently in prison. When he found out what they wanted to use the home for, he was excited to have them move in. He has been in prison for 5 years of a 25 year sentence but was saved within the prison and is thrilled that his home is being used to help children. As I mentioned, there are 7 children living there now and each one of them has an amazing story and in many cases, miraculous stories of how God has delivered them from certain death because of the calling Wendi and Kim have for the children of Haiti. I'm certain I can't remember all of the circumstance of each child but they are truly miracles from God and each one of them will now have an opportunity to make something of their lives because of what Wendi and Kim are doing for them.

The country of Haiti is such a sad situation with what appears as little hope for most of the population. But God is doing some amazing things through different people that have been called there. Both Wendi and Kim are such inspirations and have devoted their lives to serve God in this way. If you haven't connected with them on Facebook, I would encourage you to as they do a great job of updating us on the events in their lives.

Be sure and check back in a day or so as I continue to post different things about the trip. There is so much to share in spite of the fact we were only there for a short 48 hours or so. Thanks again for your prayers and support. The doors are open for us to be even more involved there and we are beginning to lay groundwork for a return trip sometime this year.
