Brother and Sister

A couple of days ago, while taking pictures of the motorcycle repair project, one of the guys in the repair class told me of his uncle who needed a bicycle tire. We went to meet Dominique, the uncle, who just happened to live right across the street. He introduced me to his wife and two little children, pictured above. The little boy, Alberto, was very shy towards me. I took the bike tire and wheel and told him I thought I could help him. The next day we bought a tube, tire and axle, as it was frozen. I figured this small gift was something simple I could do for him. They literally have nothing.

He was very thankful to recieve the tire and parts and I asked him if I could take a picture of his family. I also asked him if I could pray for him and specifically how I could pray. He told me that they don't have anything and his greatest need is to feed his family...thus we prayed for work, for love, for protection and provision. He spoke Creole and Spanish and I did my best to pray so he could understand. The fact that he speaks Creole told me he is Haitian. He knew about COTN and the school. Please join me in prayer for Dominique, his wife and children. I am reminded of these truths about our loving God and how he speaks of His love through the Bible.
