First of all, I want to say thank you so much for your outpouring of support and
donations after the recent earthquake. We cannot even begin to tell you all how much of a blessing you have been to us in the past two weeks. I believe God is going to do some amazing things as a result of the earthquake. The Haitian people have a spirit that is the strongest I have seen anywhere and they will rebound. It will take lots of time and assistance, but together we can all help them rebuild. So many of you have donated money, food items, school supplies, and other items and we can promise you they will go to great use in Haiti in the months to come. Haiti not only needs our help now, but will need it in the months and years to come, so we pray that we can all team up together to help them. You can continue to make donations through www.project127-haiti.com[1] or mailed to PO Box 321 Harrisburg, NC 28075. We are in need of some more people to join us in support on a monthly basis so we can continue our work in Haiti long after the memory of the earthquake passes. If you would like to partner with us in this, email steve@project127.org[2] for more information and we would be glad to help you.

Myself and a team of two others left for Haiti the day after the earthquake and were able to fly into Santo Domingo, DR and then drive into Haiti. We passed through Port au Prince and were able to track down several of our friends there and make sure they were doing ok. We were able to leave some money and supplies with Jules, our mission manager in Haiti, to help him get back on his feet. He and his entire neighborhood were left homeless. I don't even have the words to describe the destruction in the capital city of Haiti. We then left and drove several hours southwest to our childrens home and were able to meet with our kids and inspect the house. We are very happy to report that the damage there is very minimal and the kids are all doing well. We were also able to leave supplies and money to provide for them for the next two months.

We will be sending one of our men from NC into Haiti tomorrow with medical supplies
that he will deliver to hospitals in the Port au Prince area. Please be in prayer for Farrell Burton over the next week.

Also, two of our boys who have been with us from the beginning were able to fly to
Florida last night to meet up with their adoptive family from Texas. They had started the adoption over two years ago and because of the earthquake, were able to speed the process up. Praise the Lord!

Many of you are asking, where do we go from here? Well, our mission continues to be investing in the lives of the children in our orphanage and raising them up to be leaders in their community. They are the one's who are going to make a difference in their country! As a result of the earthquake, there are even more orphans that need loving care. Our immediate need is to finish the second story on our orphanage so we can house 10 more kids. As soon as this addition is finished we will be able to move these kids in. We will also need to bring in additional support staff at the orphanage to help with these new kids.

If you would like us to come and share about our work in Haiti, please email
steve@project127.org[3]. We are filling up our schedule with speaking engagements and would love to come and share and say thank you.

God bless you all,

Steve Horne
