A Phone Call From Pastor Jean Fritz (the latest news)
Here is the latest news I have from HCRM from one of our HCRM supporters who just spoke with Pastor Jean Fritz (the director of HCRM) this morning . . ."Pastor called me this am. It was so good to hear his voice. I've never heard him sound so tired; he said he has back pain. However, by the end of the call he was almost his normal, visionary self, talking about plans for the future.
He has lost his house in Carrefour, some of his relatives have died and his mother was injured.
He is headed to the consulate today to get paper work done to hopefully release all of the children to Texas (currently 54 children). He feels this is the right thing to do. His only fear is that the new adoptive parents will not communicate with Haiti after the adoptions. This causes him big problems, he says. Madame (his wife) is very worried about that.
Paying the rent ($15,000) (which was due end of Dec) is the main concern now. the landlord is putting pressure on Pastor more than ever bec he sees there are Americans visiting the orphanage. The landlord assumes Pastor has the rent money bec he has American visitors. Alas, such is Haiti....
Pastor says everytime he steps out, he is approached to take new children. He's already taken in 5 and will continue when the current group of children leave.
His next immediate concern is building a security wall/fence on the new land for the new orphanage complex.
He asks that people pray for Haiti."
That's all I have for now, but will post more as I have news.
