I am sick to my stomach right now, and tears are flowing. The precious baby Marie Jane, who is pictured on my Facebook was brought in by her mom today to a clinic in Haiti. Michelle got a call to come pick the baby up, because her dad, who is a voodoo priest, beat up the mom and wants to sacrifice Marie Jane.
We went to the clinic, and brought Marie Jane back with us, and have been trying to find a solution that would allow the mom to remain with Marie and her two brothers. She wants to be with them, but is in very real danger if she remains anywhere near the voodoo priest husband who wants to kill her and sacrifice little Marie Jane as a voodoo offering.
After we got home with Marie, we got a call that she has to go back to the clinic. The mom had left the clinic to go back and get some of her belongings, so she could seek safety, and the dad demanded that the baby be brought back to him. We had to send her back with a couple of the Haitian men who work here at the guest house. We are praying for safety for all, because this could turn into a very bad situation, very quickly.
It is our prayer that the local pastor, who has gone to see the dad now, will talk reason into him, and she will be able to come back here tonight.
