On Generosity, by Jennifer Savini, missionary in Haiti

Jennifer and Chris Savini, along with their two children, Ella and Xander, live in Dargout, Haiti with the orphanage we sponsor. Please take a moment to read this captivating post on the beautiful generosity of one of the orphans.









You might see a few penny candies, but this is actually picture of extreme generosity.

A boy, an orphan, on a rare adventure to Port au Prince to celebrate Haiti's Flag Day, collected a few pieces of candy during the parade.  He counted out four and put them in his pocket.  Hours later, he brought them to me.  Shyly passing them into my hand, he told me that there was one for me, one for Chris and one each for Xander and Ella.

What if I want to go, but can't afford it?




 You can raise funds for the trip. The $100 deposit needs to come from you, but the rest of the amount can be raised. It's a great opportunity to give friends, family and co-workers the chance to participate in what you're doing and to jump-start conversations about church and following Christ.
