Hillaire















Hillaire is pronounced something like E laire (long e).
This handsome young man has been our boy, and Pam's and Gene's, since he was about 1 year old! He grew up in an orphanage in Haiti. We co-sponsored him and now he's all grown up. A doctor friend of ours goes to Haiti every year on a medical mission. She just came back and gave these pictures to me, she took them herself. She said he insisted on wearing his Sunday best. He's now 21 years old and is studying to be a lab tech. I went to Haiti to the orphanage where he lived when he was about 10 or 11. We spent as much time together as we could and cried when I left to come back home. He's a wonderful Christian young man. Thank you, Lord, for Hillaire. Thank you for the privelege of investing in his life. Thank you for the orphanage where he grew up. Please continue to be with him, guide him, give him a loving Christian wife, help him in his schooling, keep him safe and well and close to you. I love you, Father.
