From Haiti to Home

Yet another wonderful ZOE moment this past Thursday! Our wonderful executive director, whom many of your know, Eric Noah-Wilson and his wife Natalie returned from Haiti with their newly- adopted children, Patrick, Nadege, and Miklene.

This has been a long journey for them, and I know that they were so relieved to have them set foot on American soil at long-last.

God has been actively involved in the whole process, and they could tell you story after story of how He has worked.... but, just one from this final trip:
When they arrived at Embassy and needed to have the kids processed, the consular told them that they should leave and come back later because it took the computers a long time to process, etc. Eric and Natalie told them that that they were praying and believed in miracles, so they would just wait. The man shrugged his shoulders and left. Ten minutes later, the man returned bewildered, saying, “I cannot believe this, we have the results. We will have your visas ready in about thirty minutes.” Eric and Natalie told him, “God is in charge!” The consular then replied, “I wish He would show up more often.”

So, several of us from the ZOE family were over-joyed to be standing in the airport when the Noah-Wilsons arrived Thursday afternoon! It was just another example of God's faithfulness, and it was such a blessing to celebrate together.

Please keep Eric, Natalie, Nadege, Patrick, Miklene, Tristan, Lainey, and Elijah in your prayers as they adjust to their new life together.
