Tiffany Hall Haiti Update

Tiffany Hall Haiti Update
Jeanne-Marie Floyd and Tiffany Hall

C4’s own Tiffany Hall has serving as an intern at Lamb Center Children's Home just outside of Leogane, Haiti, since May 14th.

In addition to adjusting to the heat, satellite internet (which doesn’t like to work during rain storms), and doing her own laundry (which Tiffany admits she hates doing), she has had the chance to meet and be changed by a number of wonderful people. In her emails from Haiti, Tiffany shared the following stories:

“I feel like I should share a story with you of God's goodness among these children. Hope is a little girl in the group. She is almost 4 years old and will be starting kindergarden in September. She was abandoned and when she was found she was 2.5 years old and weighed only 8 lbs. She was truly skin and bones. The doctor I have talked to here in Christianville said that she was hours from death. Her body had already started shutting down and Hope was refusing food and water. They say she had just enough energy to push away any attempt to feed her. They had to put a feeding tube in and feed her very very small amounts at a time. Now, a year and a half later she is the leader of the pack. Hope is into everything and quite possibly one of the biggest troublemakers in the group. She has been given the nickname "Mama" because of her bossiness with the other children.”

“I have yet another story about God's goodness with these children. We have a little girl named DeeDee, she's absolutely beautiful (and doesn't have adoption papers yet!). She's just over 1 year old and is one of our children who is not an orphan. Her father is a Voodoo priest not far from where we are and her mother didn't want her. Right after she was born her mother threw her on a trash pile and walked away. She was brought into the Lamb Center by neighbors. Just a few days ago we were running errands and I decided to take her with me. She was sitting in my lap and we were talking and singing silly songs and playing hand games when she broke out in "This is the day that the Lord has made." I lost it, I know it confused her but she kept right on singing. Her young voice, so strong, not quite getting all the words right, but it didn't seem to matter to her. The daughter of a Voodoo priest sat in my lap praising God. Doesn't that just give you chills? God continues to amaze me while I'm here. If I do nothing else while I'm here I got to praise our Lord with DeeDee and teach her more songs and pray over her and her future.”

Please continue to lift up Tiffany and all the workers and children at the Lamb Center Children's Home in Haiti. We serve an awesome God and we praise Him for servants like Tiffany Hall!
