Dear Friends,
 
The children have been enjoying their Christmas vacation. They had a party with a few presents to open on Christmas Day. A team from Lone Jack Baptist Church will be with, HHH Jan. 3-10, and they will celebrate with them with more presents.
 
Bill and Jennifer's Christmas gift came in the form of a baby on Christmas Eve. A grandfather came to them with a 22-day-old girl Amy, whose mother died in childbirth. She was barely four pounds and literally starving. Bill, Jennifer, and Alina were able to hold the baby and love on her. Alina has great compassion for these littlest ones, and gets much joy from serving them. Most of all, they were able to provide the much needed baby formula and warm clothes, blankets, soap, etc. They also were able to talk to the grandfather about this gift that God has given him and challenge him to take care of her with the Campbell's help, and to offer this baby as a gift back to God. The grandfather is a Christian and understood what they were telling him. The baby also has pneumonia which Jennifer was able to treat with antibiotics. Of course, they were very torn about not taking the baby into the orphanage, and might still need to do this if the grandfather does not get help from other family members. Please pray for baby Amy and her grandfather.
 
Jennifer is still feeling better but has had a few days where she had some side pain. While back in the States when she had her medical checkup, the doctor found several cysts on her ovaries. He said they may or may not cause her problems and pain in the future. Bill is amazed the grace God gives Jennifer to continue serving in Haiti with all the medical issues with which she has had to deal. She is not daunted one bit. The Campbells truly depend on His new mercies every morning.
 
Bill and Jennifer believe that there is power in prayer according to the scriptures, and they know that your prayers are what God blesses HHH with more than anything. The very best gift you can give to HHH is to pray faithfully for the Campbells and the children. Will you consider praying for them this year? Thank you to all who financially supported HHH this past year. May the ministry continue to be a blessing to you. It is our prayer that you will be able to come and visit the ministry this year. May the Lord manifest all that Christmas means, in and through your lives, into the New Year!
