Hard Pressed but Not Crushed…

September 3, 2013 Posted by Karen Huxter 4 Comments

I do not have the time or the energy to write a blog – but I want you to hear from us.  The photos of the children will speak for us.

I will say this, lots has been happening at HATS.  We, the two directors, Karen and Luckner, have been hit with three things – one after the other.  God is walking through them with us.   Please pray for HATS-Haiti and for us.  Thank you.

2 Corinthians 4:8,9:
“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”

James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”

Despite what has been coming against us our children are doing fine.  Soon we will have the school children back with us too.  The children are more precious than words can say.  They are the reason we are here.  They are the reason you, the supporters, continue helping.  They are the reason groups sacrifice to come down and help.  They are the reason the wonderful volunteers in Canada work diligently for HATS.

IT   IS   ALL   ABOUT   THE   CHILDREN

God bless you all.
