I am completely sadden by the fact that some things I read or hear in the news do not surprise me. Read the two articles below that I grabbed from Curtis and Danielle Rogers blog site. They are missionaries in Haiti.
Rape looms large over Haiti slums
Amnesty wants Haitian girls protected
The fact that this happens in a country within 500 miles of the US and most people probably have no clue about it is sickening. I can't help but think about how enraged Americans get about Child abuse/molestation, and here is a story of a 16 year old girl who had to spend two years in jail because she, in self-defense, killed a man who was about to rape her for the second time. The first time occurring when she was only 12. How would people react if this happened in their city, or in their neighborhood, or in their family? I believe that the outcry would be far greater than what is occurring for this young girl.

About Us
Hello, Friends and Family. We are the Stebings. We recently got married in July of 2007. We have both been involved in mission work throughout our lives. We have been to places such as Mexico, Haiti, Jamaica, Ireland, and Africa. Many of you have been the ones that supported us along the way. We have dedicated our lives towards going into full-time over seas missions. Since being married we have been patiently waiting for God’s calling and direction as to where he wants us. He answered our prayers loud and clear. He set before us what we believed to be an impossible fight. But as we have learned so many times before, where there’s a will, there’s also a way. God is stretching us and teaching us new and different things each day as this journey continues.
