In July, Jerry Johmas, one of the boys in our orphanage broke his arm in a bike accident. Several people have asked how Jerry is doing, so I thought I’d post a picture of him without his cast. He has a little trouble straightening out his arm, so the doctors have prescribed exercises for him. Please keep him in your prayers as he continues to heal.

I can’t take all these children!” Come to find out, these were all the children from the orphanage that was destroyed by the hurricane...

God is hope to a broken world. He is a Father to the fatherless. He is love where there is no love. He is peace throughout the storm. He is joy amidst the sorrow. He is the way … every time. And today … I will rejoice for He has made me glad! (pictured above: Madeline, Fritzon, Mackinson, Dourison, Dada, and Roudfaelle)
