April's BIG GIVE

Better late than never. My $5 from the Big Give is going to a young man from Haiti named Peterson St. Pierre. In December 2006, his father finally managed to (legally) bring his wife and five children to the US to live. Peterson is the oldest son. On May 30, Peterson will be graduating from High School with a 4.0 average. This was an accomplished while also working two days a week at Animal Kingdom. His goal is to become an engineer. He is a fine Christian gentleman and a wonderful example of what can be done with a life, even though the benefits we enjoy in America were not available to him in Haiti. Bringing the family to America was an expensive process and his father also managed to get his mother (Peterson's Grandmother) her papers and she was able to come here in February of this year. There is not much money left over for college but I know that the Lord will provide for him in some way. the church's donation plus some of mine may not make a big impact financially, but I am sure that it will in the way of encouraging him to meet his goals and walk in the Lord's footsteps along the way. - Nellie
