All Dressed Up With Someplace to Go

                                

"We are very grateful to you, thank you for your continued support

of the ministry project to help the elderly and the disabled.

Thank you very much, may God bless us even more.

Good night with Jesus."

Pignon Church, Haiti

Love and life prevail at Auberge des Vieillards.  Two fine gentlemen attending Pignon Church; Marcelus in front with the stylish glasses, and Ones behind him sporting a blue shirt.  They arrive via scooters partially operated by hand, and worship from a space cleared and designed especially for those using mobility devices.

While news from parts of Haiti remain grim, it is good and inspiring to know that our seniors can be part of something as 'normal' as going to church on Sunday.

Just a reminder to keep the date open.

More Good News

A random search of "Pignon Haiti news" brought up this article about some return of normalcy in terms of flights coming in and out of the region.  Flights Resume  And while I cannot with any certainty confirm this source, I find myself excited by the possibility that something, anything might be getting better there.

Haiti needs good news.

And also.

There is good news happening every single day at Auberge des Vieillards.  I say this by the same 'evidence' Jesus gave when John the Baptist was doubting His being the Messiah.

"Go back and report to John what you see and hear.  The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and good news is proclaimed to the poor."  Matthew 11:4-5

Jesus was, of course, referring back to a prophecy from Isaiah (35:5-6) that was to indicate the arrival of God's good news and the next phase in His bigger plan of redemption.  In other words, "the gospel" (which actually does mean "good news").  Wherever you see these things happening, Jesus is reminding John, God's good plans and purposes are advancing towards His final end game.

So, for our seniors to be cared for in the midst of the chaos is nothing short of a bold-faced victory against evil.  That medicine is administered, and food is prepared, and ailments are tended to, and confusion is eased, is a defiant kind of goodness that holds the darkness at bay.  

More defiant goodness is already in motion for the new year at Highview.

Mark your calendar.
