Adeline loves to be silly, make funny faces, and just make others laugh. This stands as a big contrast to her dark days of begging on the streets of Port-au-Prince. Today she is finally able to be a kid and not worry about her personal survival nor providing for her family. Adeline loves Jesus and is thankful for all He has done for her. She enjoys playing soccer and learning new skills from those willing to teach her. She is a genuine competitor and is clearly one of the best soccer players at the girls' home. She also now has a part-time job working as a cook at our guest house once a week. Please pray for Adeline, that the Lord will continue to heal her heart and fill her with His life, love, and grace.

David is continually smiling and will be the first to give you a hug. He came from a family with two mothers, six sisters, and four brothers. Before his cousin brought him to Maison de Lumiere, David says he was a vagabond, wandering around on the streets of Port-au-Prince. He is a very loving child and quite a talker who understands and speaks English very well. David is quite inquisitive and whether cleaning out the office or setting up a game, he will be right there to help out. While he loves to listen and learn new things, he loves to learn the Bible and he never misses Bible studies and discipleship classes. Please pray that David's love for Jesus and God's Word continues to grow.

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.
