“Our time in the States was profitable for both our physical and spiritual
well-being.” Bill and Jennifer enjoyed a six-week furlough during
September/October, and were able to visit six of their supporting churches,
sharing about their ministry and being encouraged by their brothers and
sisters in Christ. They count each and every supporter as a blessing, and
are extremely thankful for the unending love and support they receive.
While on furlough, Jennifer broke her big toe.
Apparently, she has also had an ongoing infection in the same toe, and
antibiotics do not seem to be helping. She is trying to stay off of her feet
as much as possible, but that is almost impossible now that she is back with
the children. Please pray for healing, as this makes even the most menial
task more difficult.
When Bill and Jennifer arrived back in Haiti,
their truck would not start. A mechanic was able to get it started again,
but they spent three days securing dependable transportation. The Campbells
hope to purchase a new truck in the spring of 2010, and ask for prayer in
this endeavor. Half of the money has been raised, but funds are still needed
to see this request realized. You can visit
http://haitihomeofhope.org/ to see the progress that has been made
financially. There is also an e-mail link if you are interested in donating
to the fund. The truck is such a crucial part of their ministry, and the new
vehicle will allow them to continue serving in a mighty way.
Bill and Jennifer were pleased with how the
orphanage ran in their absence. Pastor Clebert has really stepped up in his
leadership role, and his dedication and love for the children is even more
evident. The Campbells offer thanks to those who have prayed for him over
the years. He has overcome many trials throughout the course of his life,
and the Lord’s hand is at work in Pastor Clebert’s life. Praise the Lord!
Many of you have been praying for the boys who
were struggling in school, both academically and with their attitudes. The
Lord has heard your prayers! Jackenson and Ari have greatly improved their
grades and attitudes. Bill and Jennifer knew they were capable of
success and are thankful to see this change. Davelous and Simonville’s
attitudes have also improved, but they are still struggling academically.
Both boys have learning disabilities, and prayer for continued wisdom on how
to better help them would be much appreciated.
Shortly after their arrival back at the orphanage, a group from Millersburg
Baptist Church came to install a water filtration system. Led by Tim Flint,
the group was able to install a system at HHH, as well as at
Francois’ orphanage. They also held a mini-Olympics for all the children.
Each child received a medal, and learned about the importance of finishing
the race well. That evening ended with a bon fire, complete with hot dogs
and marshmallows. The Campbells were so grateful for the MBC group, and the
amazing things that were accomplished. God continues to bless Haiti Home
of Hope in ways more wonderful than we can imagine.
