As some readers and many friends know while in Haiti The Lord appointed me for a mission that I could have never imagined. I met Mackenizie, a little 9 year old boy with a smile that could melt any heart and a speech disorder. Mackenzie can say one word in Creole and surprisingly, a few in English.
What's the mission? Get Mackenzie to America and allow him the opportunity to speak! Some dear friends, Ben and Rebecca Morris have offered to host Mackenzie in their home in Birmingham while he gets daily Speech Therapy. The Morris' youngest son had speech therapy and was unable to speak until he was 4 and now can say anything to anyone! Praise God! In fact Sanders, their youngest, invited me to stay at his house "forever and ever" on Friday afternoon! Haha, he's just precious! He and Mackenizie will share a room which will be so sweet! I just know that Sanders is going to be his best friend and the biggest asset for his progress while he is here!!
How you can help? PRAYER. The Morris' and myself are believing God for a miracle! We are asking that Rebecca and myself will be flying from Haiti to America on March 21st. Yes that's 19 days away. For us to get a passport and visa. Only the Lords divine power and favor can make this happen. We have been in the process since I left Haiti in October, but I just believe The Lord is saying "I'm able and willing!"
Why so urgent? Because we've waited so very long and we are all longing to welcome him here. AND the Morris' are going on spring break the following day skiing. Myself and Mackenzie were planning on going. It will be such a treat for him to see the snow and experience another environment! That's such a treat for any child and we want Mackenzie to be able to partake!
Will you partner with us in believing for something seemingly impossible?? As I taught the kids at Faith, Hope, and Love I will stand on His word!
"Ask and you SHALL receive..."
