Here is the update from the orphanage where Kervens lives.  It is called Maison.  They have a huge need for a generator.  I thought I would post it here because you never know how the Lord might work to provide such an item.  He has to do something really soon.

To continue the life-saving ministry to the orphans in Haiti, we need your help! Please consider giving a gift to some of the "least of these" in Haiti. Thank you! Quick Links  For His Glory Website For His Glory Blog     Our Address:   For His Glory Outreach PO Box 674 Kingsland, TX 78639   :: Dear Carlee, Gabou, Gastin & Gabriel Gabou, Gastin and Gabriel, triplet boys, were born into a large family in Port-au-Prince. Their parents loved them deeply and struggled to provide for them the basics, food and clothing, but with seven other children as well, they were not able to consistently provide what their children needed. Their father was one of the blessed in Haiti, in that he did have a job, but the meager income was just not enough to provide.Eventually, their parents made the difficult decision to send the boys to the countryside to live with their grandmother. They had hoped this would be a solution that would be the best for their boys. However, one day when their mother went to visit them, it became clear that their grandmother was unable to care for the boys well, and she brought them back to Port-au-Prince with her. They were at a loss for what to do. Their mother asked one of the nanny's from Maison if she knew of anywhere that could care for her boys. She gave photos to the nanny and the nanny brought the photos to Pierre. Then, a family friend that was a doctor also suggested to the parents that they bring Gabou, Gastin and Gabriel to Maison. The parents wrestled with what to do, but in October of 2008, when the boys were three years old, they made the decision to bring the boys to Maison to see if they could live here. They wanted their boys to have a chance - to have good nutrition and an education that they could not provide for them. The doctor came with them to Maison to advocate for the family, because she knew it would be difficult for Maison to accept three children at once. That day, Gabou, Gastin and Gabriel became part of the family at Maison. Their father comes to every birth parent meeting at Maison to visit his boys as they continue to wait for a forever family. Gabou, Gastin and Gabriel are now six years old. They are in kindergarten at Maison and love to learn new things. They have been exposed to English and have been in school while with us. Gabriel and Gabou look so much alike they are difficult to tell apart, but Gastin is taller than his brothers.  Gabou loves to give and receive hugs. He has a sweet nature and tends to be quieter than his brothers. Gabriel is also sweet natured, but is a little more independent. Gastin has had a difficult time adjusting since all of his friends went home to be with their forever families in January after the earthquake. He is very active and energetic, and sometimes needs help to positively focus his energy. All three boys enjoy individual attention, love to play with toy cars, swing and run and play.Please pray with us that the Lord will continue to develop these little guys into the men He has created them to be, and that He will bring them a forever family to nurture them and give them a chance at a life filled with hope and love.   Generator Need: Our generator is and has been on its last leg for a while now.  We have had it repaired repeatedly and tuned up on a regular schedule.  We have been told that it cannot be repaired well enough to make it last for any length of time.  We recently had it tuned up again and learned that it could literally "die" at any moment.  We have been warned of this for many months.  In May 2010, we were quoted $18,000 for a generator that would meet the needs of the orphanage. Jackson went again yesterday to check on a few other things at Valerio Canez (where the generators are) and found that the same generator now costs $23,000 USD. A working generator is critical for the orphanage to be able to care for the children. City power alone is not strong enough to run the water pump.  The water pump provides water for clothes washing, bathing, and the kitchen.  We rely on the ability to run the generator for those things.  When we don't have city power, the generator recharges the batteries and inverter.  If we don't have that, we have no electricity in the entire facility.  No lights, no fans, no internet, no communication.  We are asking that you stand with us and ask God what you can do to help provide a new generator.  Together we can make a difference. (Click here to make a donation.) Prayer Requests: Please pray for the health of the children and the staff. Pray for the safety of the staff as they travel to and from the orphanage. Please pray for Vanessa's upcoming visa appointment, that she would find favor with the Embassy and would be granted a medical visa to come to the U.S. for her surgery. Please pray for Samy Leo. He is scheduled for surgery to repair his club feet on February 17. The doctor is not optimistic tat Samy will ever be able to walk. Pray for a successful surgery and that God would intervene and Samy would be able to walk. God's continued provision and blessing for the orphanage. God's provision for a new generator. God's provision for a permanent building for Maison. Wisdom for the FHG Board as we minister in Haiti.
