Christella had been living on the streets of Port-au-Prince for many years. Regular abuse, daily begging, and scrounging around for food were her way of life. As she grew older, Christella began to fear the older boys on the street and tried to maintain a very low profile. She even cut her hair short and wore boys clothing in order to try to hide her gender. Christella was eventually able to shelter herself in a street boys ministry to hide and protect herself. The director of the ministry referred her to us and we gladly took her in. Christella came to us as a very solemn young girl and has now developed into a person who is constantly grinning and laughing. She enjoys playing soccer and serving at our community feeding program. Christella loves God and is thankful for the new life she has at the girls home where she is safe and loved. Please pray for Christella, that she will continue to grow in her faith in Jesus.
