Family and Haiti Update - July 23, 2014
  
                                                from: Kendra and the boys     
Dear Friends and Family,
 
Hello!  I am currently in Port Au Prince and I have extended my stay on this trip to deal with both some very challenging and some very positive circumstances.  I feel as if I am in the midst of a battle between darkness and light.  The situations are rather complicated so I won't give the details now but I would ask that you pray.  
 
Please pray for protection as we have had some security issues.  A couple of men who had been asked to leave the village a year ago summons me to court so yesterday I spent the morning in court before a judge - what an experience!  The hearing was in a tiny office with the judge, a police officer and about 25 people who were all yelling at the same time!  Things quieted down after the judge ordered the officer to eject a couple particularly unruly individuals.  God was good and sent me a bi-lingual Haitian woman with great authority to advocate for the village's and my protection.  She almost seemed like an angel!  The judge ruled in our favor and hopefully today the police will act on his orders. 
 
We currently have some GREAT POSSIBILITIES for permanent land for our village families.  This would be in partnership with another organization. The village people and I have been praying for this for the last couple of years.  Please pray for my meetings today and tomorrow with the other organizations, government officials, and for grace and favor with land owners near the village. 
These precious children are hope for the future!

A reflection from the book In the Company of the Poor.  
 
"We know that it is possible globally to create systems of health and development, we also know that systemic poverty is not an accident or a fate.  Correcting the injustice of poverty must involve both accompaniment of the locally poor and advocacy of the globally powerful ....accompaniment of the poor has resonance with the message of the gospel."  
   
Thank-you for your Care, Support and Prayers.
 
 Landon, Andersen, Kendra and Nathan Luna
