April 4, 2010 – 6:29am – Sunday (Haiti time)- Ruuska Village, Bon Repos, Haiti – Report submitted by Joe Hurston (Air Mobile Joe)

In the midst of the rubble, destruction, despair…life emerges! This little baby was brought into our village last night. The mother died in child birth. My daughter Juliet was checking her phone, when this baby was brought in. We, in the village, with Barabara’s incredible determination and ingenuity, have gotten nearly all of the adoptive orphans out, but…life and death goes on. Yet, so many know they can come the “Village” for a safe place for vulnerable children. This little girl appeared to weigh around 4 pounds, but was alert and responsive. Today, we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus. He has come to bring us “LIFE and LIFE more abundantly”. We can have extremely abundant life in the midst of destruction and despair. The way to do that – fix our eyes on the Lord Jesus and follow Him with all of our heart. So many times, in life, when we do not know what to do, or where to turn, or how to help, simply call on Jesus – He is here with us, in the midst of the rubble and despair and suffering and will lead us one step at a time. Yesterday, we were able to bring “clean water (and living water) to 2 orphanages. There are more details, but they will have to wait a bit. Time marches on… I only have a precious few moments to write this little “blog” before aiming back for the U.S. All I can say is…we are heading back soon.

God Blessed and may you have a BLESSED DAY celebrating the resurrection of our Lord!!
