Mdm Fifin update

The year 2016 has been an incredibly blessed year! Some of you receive our newsletter, and so saw the recap of it all. If you didn't recieve it and are interested, please message below or send us an email at imslandfamily5@gmail.com.

 

Do you remember, Mdm Fifin...the woman with 9 children and another one on the way? Mdm Fifin had her baby and it was a girl (only the second out of 10 children!)! She is absolutely beautiful.

 

 
Her baby was born with a club foot so we have been driving her and Ishmaya (the baby) to the doctor weekly so that they can cast it and get it turned. We would love your prayers that the doctors act wisely, minimal pain for the baby and that the foot is turned successfully.


All 9 of Mdm Fifin's children are in our school program, the youngest 4 have never gone to school because she was not able to afford it (no public schools in Haiti). We received their report cards and found that the youngest 5 need additional help to succeed academically. So in January, we hired 2 tutors to spend 2 hours a day 5 days a week to work with them working on schoolwork. 

I have too many stories to share via blog about the ways that this family has already started to changed or the better. It's exciting to see and I can't wait to be able to compare them in a year. 

Please pray with us for Mdm Fifin as her family. Pray for the baby's healing and wisdom for the doctors. 

If you want to help us with the medical expenses or with their tutors please message me. This family is already receiving school sponsorship and a food allowance because of 3 generous donors. 

 

Austin is learning about everything...things break here all the time. He's an hard worker and pretty good at figuring things out. 


 

We have a really great group of missionary friends. This was our Christmas celebration.
