Challenge

Thank you, everyone, for helping me help Haiti. I hope that more and more people come and help Haiti. I am going to sell some of my toys to my mom and dad so I can make more money for Haiti. I challenge other kids to read to help kids in Haiti!
Pray for Haiti!
Love, Benjamin

Grand Total

Benjamin read for 22 hours, making the total
$1,500
raised for Baptist Haiti Mission as of today!!
I know I've said it before, but I can not thank you enough for your support in helping us to raise money for Haiti! Your response and generosity has been overwhelming. THANK YOU!!

I have had a couple of people ask how to make payments for their pledges. We are simply asking you to go to the mission website and donate directly to them. (Their banner is at the top of this web page) Also, Living Water, a benevolence ministry in Borger,TX has agreed to be our liaison. So, if you wish, you can donate through them. Just make sure that you mark the donation as being for Baptist Haiti Mission. Their address is : 103 W. 4Th St., Borger, TX 79007. Those who have mailed or wish to send checks to us, rest assured, we will make sure they are forwarded to the mission. Once again, THANK YOU!! We could not have done any of this without your support.
We'll end this post with a phrase we read on one mission blog in Haiti,
Nou p'ap bliye ou
With deep gratitude

One more Day!!

Guest blogger: Mom

We hope you have a great, blessed weekend!

Dear John,



I really like the book you recommended.




The book Are you My Mother? is a very good book.
I thought it was funny that the baby bird called the bulldozer a snort and thought it was his mother. It was one of the best books I have ever read. Thank you for telling me about it.
Do you like my hat?
Love,
Benjamin

New book

I got a new book in the mail and I have read it twice. It was about imagining things. Its' name is Oh the Thinks You Can Think by Dr. Seuss. There was a page about a kid riding a boat with a city behind him, and there was a page about people bringing food to them. Part of the food was schlopp with a cherry on top. It was a really good book and fun to read. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Stewart for the book! It was nice of you to do that.
Love,
Benjamin

Miracles

The mission was running out of water supply. Then, two or three days later they started to have more than they needed. They started to overflow a lot and had extra water. God caused a good miracle.

On Wednesday, two babies were born at the mission. One of them was born with a C-section and one beat the doctors before they could get there! They are probably going to name the girl Hope and the boy is named Woodson. It made everyone happy that the babies were born.
