Catching the Fire...
Sometimes it starts with a trip, sometimes it starts meeting a precious child in need.  For Emily, a highschool student in Indiana, it was both. 
When she made her first trip to Haiti, she was surrounded by children at the orphanage.  Emily worked with the medical team during mobile clinics, where she saw many children in need. 

In 2007, Emily's parents adopted Elsonn, a young boy who had once come to a mobile clinic in need of surgery.  Through God's grace and the hard work of Operation Rosie and many volunteers, young Elson was able to have surgery in the states.  Now he has come to find a loving home in Indiana. 
Emily, on the other hand, is desperate to get back to Haiti.  Feeling the call of the Lord so strongly, she has made a website about Haiti.    Emily writes, "I wanted a way to raise awareness of Haiti.  I took what I knew of Haiti and pictures from my trips and created a place where people could find out about Haiti and what they can do to help. "
This month Emily will be in Haiti wolunteering at the same orphanage where she felt the call to serve just a few years ago.  Please keep Emily, and her family, in your prayers as they take this leap of faith. 

Mission; To spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through a healthcare alliance with the people of Haiti.
