7:15 edit/add - Moving Enisse to maternity house pretty soon ... thankful for your ongoing prayers today for her and the baby and added request that Enisse will bond with her baby. Rosena gave birth at 3:15 - Jonna and Beth trying to catch a few minutes of rest.
5:10am edit/add Sleeping between contractions, crying during contractions. 4-5 minutes apart.
2:25 am edit/add (early Wednesday morning 16th) - Contractions are getting stronger and closer together. Enisse is coping pretty well with the pain, crying softly on and off. Still guessing she has 8++ hours to go. Thank you so much for praying for her.
We're asking you to join us in focusing on asking God to redeem her deep pain. We're asking that God would give her the strength to trust us and listen to us while she labors. We're asking God to remove her fear. We're asking for a safe delivery of a healthy baby to a healthy Enisse. We're asking all of this and more today. Will you join us?

We're asking for prayer for Enisse today and tonight and tomorrow. She is 15 years old. She moved into Harbor House after her Mom got angry and started hitting her and throwing rocks at her. Her Mom asked her to leave the tent she was living in at the time. Since about a month ago she is basically totally estranged from her mother, and does not have family close enough that she wants to call them to come be by her side. The aunt she trusts is out in the countryside.
Her labor began early this morning. It will probably be many many more hours before her baby comes.
We've seen her come alive in recent weeks. We have seen reasons to hope for healing. We can act as her family but we cannot totally fill the places of loss and pain.
Today she is shutting down. She is very afraid and withdrawn. We suspect we don't know the half of her story ...

I am joining you now.
Praying for Enisse and her new baby...and of course you all as well. I hope everyone has the strength to endure a few very long days and nights.

Praying for Enisse!
Praying. God is love. He is healing. He is the absence of fear in the presence of ultimate confidence. He is hope. And He is there. May Enisse have her eyes opened to the TRUTH standing with her and may each of you touching her have a part in removing the scales from her eyes.
Praying for Enisse & all involved!
God we lift up Enisse to you right now and ask that you would be her Jehova Rophe - Her God who heals. I pray that you would invade the broken places of her heart and story, and redeem them with Your love for Your glory. Father, we ask in confidence for a healthy delivery for both mom and baby. Give strength to the Heartline staff as they use their gifts and talents. Thank you for the work you are doing in Haiti...may Your name be made famous. Amen!
Praying. Giving birth and parenting is hard enough when you are surrounded by those who support you. Praise God you are there for her.
I'm praying for her now, Tara.
Consider it done! Sending prayers for Enisse, her baby, you, and the rest of the team who will be nurturing and caring for Enisse while she labors.
Praying with you!

Dear Enisse,
We are praying for you today! Congratulations on your little blessing. I know how scary it is when you become a Mom for the first time.
The Yelton family.
Praying!! We love you, Enisse!
i'm praying for enisse(and all involved with the birth). not only am i praying for a safe delivery, but for an overwhelming presence of peace to fill the birthing room.
Continuing to pray!
Those pesky contractions...I remember crying during them too, but after 29 hours I was really tired and had no power to deal with them anymore. I ended with a c-section...glad that Enisse didn't have to go through that! :)
