But my heart is encouraged by knowing that she is always in God's hands, whether or not I know what is going on. By His help, I'm resting in the fact that He will keep her; He is her father. Clella,

So very glad to hear of another child who is safe! It is good to know that many of the children in the Compassion centers have heard the message of Christ and have accepted Him, that is truly a reassurance. God bless all who work or volunteer for Compassion International! Craig and Rebecca, what Center is Wichelanda in? So very glad to hear of another child who is safe!

Praise God! Don't know much more other than that her home was damaged, so we have a lot of questions, but the fact that she's alive is good enough. So there is hope for those of you still waiting to hear about kids in Haiti. I will tell you this though, we were ok with the fact that she may not have made it. Why? Because we know that she knows Christ and so, sad as it would have been, we know that she would have been in Heaven and we'd meet her there someday! Although I was in Haiti 2 weeks ago working at an orphanage and didn't know she was still alive, now we have the opportunity to go down there again and meet her next time! Praise God!

If you join, then you can ask them if/what they have heard regarding their kids. 4 of them list statuses as praying/waiting for news on their sponsored child and one lists a status of having heard his child is safe. The others do not list that information but if you asked I imagine you'd get an answer :-) @Patrick & Sharon Moran

As we continue to pray for word of Danalove, from HA 751, we would greatly appreciate hearing from ANYONE who has heard ANYTHING about their child from her Center: Eglise Chretienne Child Development Center, in Port au Prince. It would help us to know something....all we know is that the Center was 'significantly affected' by the earthquake, and that as of several weeks ago, about 80% of children have been accounted for, leaving about 20% still trying to be located or reported on in some fashion. God bless all who continue to search, and all who are helping those who have been found! Patrick & Sharon Moran Aloha, All!

After doing some research, I found that Madora is in project HA-819. This project is in an area that has officially been reported as "not affected." Therefore, Madora and her family are safe and if we receive any news otherwise we will certainly contact you. All "non-affected" projects are functioning as normal. At this time, Compassion Haiti is working tirelessly to find approximately 20,000 children in the "significantly impacted" area where the earthquake hit. We are in the process of notifying those sponsors whose children were directly affected (child injured, homes damaged/destroyed, family members injured, etc). I believe sponsors who sponsor a child in areas not affected are being contacted by a different method, which is a bit slower. I hope this helps! We greatly appreciate your patience and prayers, and I certainy encourage you to keep writing to Madora. Marie,

I would very much appreciate it if someone from Compassion or Haiti would please let me know if Madora and her family are okay. I realize that you have been overwhelmed, but I have been very patient and I haven't heard anything since the earthquake. Your response would put my mind at ease. Thank you.

I really wish I knew more than that. I moved, my friend got the mail and simply left a message for me that she was found. I'm going to follow up here and however I can. I knew it would be awhile because of the chaos after such disaster. So glad Gods people-CI was and is there. Dear C Fox, I will be praying for you and her. I really wish I knew more than that.
