godparents.

one cool thing that RI does is a "godparent" program with the kids at CAD.

it is the coolest thing because so many of our kids have amazing relationships with their godparents.

they make journals & write back & forth & the kids LOVE it. most of the time i never have to tell them to write something back. they know i am coming & they have it ready for me.



so sweet.

our godparents are the BEST. their monthly donation goes towards providing water, food, & propane every month.




sometimes the godparents will send us things to take to the kids & we get so excited to give it to them. we make it such a special  moment for the kids to feel cared for & they know someone is praying for them & cares for them. we bring them into a room all by themselves & we sit them in a chair, we have a little talk with them about how they are doing in school, how they are eating, how they are doing in general & then we present them with their gifts. we are all "oooos" & "aaaahs"while they are opening their gifts & the kids have the biggest smiles. it really makes their day & it really makes our day. we take photos of them & tell them how much we love them. it really is such a special moment. anyone that has been on an RI trip & has been apart of this ALWAYS loves it. the kids leave the room with a little pep in their step.





RI is so thankful for all of their godparents & we would LOVE for you all to take some time & come to haiti & meet your kiddo if you haven't already.



our goal is to have time set aside for godparents to get to know their kids. so if you come on a trip with us you will get that. we will go somewhere special with the kiddos & you get a translator to sit down & personally get to know your sweetie! if you brought a gift you can give it to them yourself  & see how excited they get. you will build a bond that is really strong with this child. the cool part is more than likely you get to be apart of that child's life for a very long time. you ARE  family to them & that relationship is so important to nurture & maintain.

if you have been wanting & praying to be apart of our godparent program we have 23 new kids at CAD that need one.

email us revelatorinternational@gmail.com

these new kids are AMAZING & they all have a story to tell.

keep a lookout on our Facebook page for a new album with kids who need a godparent.

let me tell you about canaan.

canaan is one of our partner communities & we LOVE visiting there. the people are thriving, loving & FULL of joy. after the earthquake a lot of people came to this mountain to start a new beginning. the coolest part of the story is that way before the earthquake a sweet woman answered the lords voice to go to the top of this mountain everyday & pray. she prayed & prayed for what God had in store for this mountain. flash forward to today & there is a church right where she prayed. there is a school that they started in faith that is growing & thriving & so full of LIFE! this past trip we were able to do VBS with these school children & share the love of jesus with them. they are such bright kids with incredible futures! we were so blessed to have tracey on this trip with us who organized our VBS! she had stories, games & amazing crafts. we had some people that donated funds for us to buy a parachute to play SO MAY GAMES with. the ki...

a HOME for our boys.

YOU GUYS! i am so excited to give you some details on our boys home. we have started an "adopt a box" & made a beautifully awkward video about it HERE i wanted to write a post to give you some details! SO. we need to have this box filled by 3 weeks! why 3 weeks? so we have enough time to get the house prepared, get beds, a stove, sheets, towels, all of the things a little house will need. the boys need to have the house ready by june. so we are in a time CRUNCH! we will have a house mom that will live there & take care of them everyday. they will get all the meals they need, they will have someone to make sure they brush their teeth, do their homework, study for their test, read their bible, say their prayers ALL the things kids are so deserving of & most do not get. all of these boys do not have family that can take them in or we would work towards that. we don't want them to get lost in the system or live in the streets. HELP us HELP them. can you ...
