This is a post we wrote in December about the Restavek system in Haiti. 60 Minutes did a piece on Sunday.

There are things I love about this report, focusing on those things; I loved when Jean Robert Cadet reminded us that IT DOES MATTER and IS IMPORTANT to help just ONE person. The truth of that is powerful.
I think we all get wrapped up in numbers. I have never been all that impressed with those statistics. Feeding 1,000 has never changed anyone as much as touching, knowing, hurting with and loving one has. We have been moved, blessed, amazed and totally changed by one life. We watched in awe as this ONE life change many.
Jesus went after ONE lost sheep. We're called to do the same. Just one.
Absolutely, helping ONE is life-changing, totally urgent and valuable.
Thank you to 60 Minutes for allowing Jean Robert Cadet to so poignantly share that truth.

Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and be a hero; better to be content with poverty than to die a slave to wealth; better to have taken some risks and lost than to have done nothing and succeeded at it. -erwin lutzer

Does Paige still get to keep in contact with Renald? I think I remember looking thru some of her pictures and seeing this handsome young fellow. How touching!! That girl just amazes me!
How I would love to meet her!
I loved it when he said that! I could not agree more!!
The part that devastated me most was that pastor burying his son.
May God hold in the cradle of his love those fighting to help the overlooked people of Haiti. The homeless, the orphan, the restaviks, the lost, those who need hope, the oppressed and the broken hearted. Love and prayers to you all in the name of Jesus.

Thank you for posting. This piece puts into perspective all the silliness of the last few days here in the US.
