#riboyshome

the title says it all.

GOD IS SO GOOD.

we want to take a minute & say THANK YOU to every single person that gave your hard earned money to RI to make this boys home possible. we have all cried many tears of just being blown away & thankfulness.

the fact that we just started this thing wanting to do honest work in haiti & that we have so many amazing supporters is incredible. our dream of our school & our home for children has started a little early. boys that we have known for years needed our help & we took a step of faith & you guys came in & blew us away. NOW we have a house for them. a house mom that will take care of them. they will get good meals including the fruit from our land in mirebalais where our school will be one day. they will have a shower which they have never had. they will have a working toilet which they have never had. they will have a comfortable bed with a pillow. they will have a closet to put their things. things that no one can take away from them.

can you even imagine that?

these children have seen & been through things NO ONE should ever have to endure. they are respectful. they are smart. they have dreams to be lawyers, dentist, doctors, pastors, soccer players & with Gods help we will help them achieve those dreams. GOD IS SO GOOD.

we cannot even begin to tell you how excited we are for this.

UPDATE:

we sign the contract for the home today! (monday)

the guy who owns the house gave us a deal- he marked the house down $2000 so instead of us paying $10,000 for the year we are paying $8000.





we raised the initial $5000 to sign the contract & he is letting us pay the rest in july! so instead of using our fees for a hotel we are able to use them to pay the rest of the house off!!

NEST STEP: we have to have beds in the house before the government will give us our papers to take children in. SO. we have found an awesome company in haiti with great prices. the bunk beds are $286 & that comes with a mattress. they also come apart in case they want like a twin bed.



*this is one of the bedrooms with closets


*one of the 3 bathrooms


*upstairs area that will be used as a sitting room


*another bathroom


*we have FANS! 


*another bedroom with closets


*our kitchen - it has a sink!

STAFF: alix's mother will be living their with the boys to take care of them just like any mama would do. we will also have a man living on the property to take open the gate, to take care of things on the property.

HOW GOOD IS GOOD! we are literally coming into an empty house & making it a comfy home for these amazing boys. i will be adding photos to this post later to show you the house & the boys!

continue to pray for us. continue to pray that we get the money for the beds. if you are wanting to donate towards the beds our PayPal is revelatorinternational@gmail.com - just put in the note riboyshome bed

we know this is a HUGE thing for you to give to this. PLEASE know how appreciative we are. without our sponsors we couldn't do what we do. if you are interested in coming & seeing our boys home email us! revelatorinternational@gmail.com

BONDYE BENI OU!

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...

belong.

this song, "build my life" has been my heart for a few weeks now. i wondered why it was stuck in my head day after day - then i went to haiti this last trip & i knew why. God has a sweet way of reminding us of TRUTH when times are really tough. this is our first post as RI on a blog & def. will not be our last. usually we would probably write about who we are, who is on our board, why we do what we do but instead i want to just share about what is going on. this last trip to haiti was rough for my spirit. rough for my heart. new kids. sad stories. kids who have been there. things being taken from them. lies. deception. tears. a longing to be loved. need. urgency. so many emotions. my brain is filled with a jumbled mess of figuring out ways to get money FAST. there are so many children in need. so many children longing to be cared for. to be loved. to belong. sometimes i want to yell at God & say WHY? God, HOW did this happen. i loo...

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 ...
