HCH Mangine update - Sad Days

(from Nick)


We've had a lot of sad days in Jacmel lately.  You've heard about a few of them.  Unfortunately, I have to let you know about a few more.

Last Thursday, Danny showed up with the police and impounded all of Joy in Hope's vehicles.  He went to Mikey and Georgette's and did the same.  He did these because the Joy in Hope vehicles are title in his name.  We've been without our vehicles since that day and have scrambled to do our regular shopping and to get our kids to church.

Today is another sad day.  In order to get our vehicles back we have been advised we have to take legal action against Danny and this is something we never wanted to do.  One of the biggest disappointments for me is that we are may be forced to take all the vehicles back, including the vehicles we have allowed Danny to continue using since his termination and desire to gift to him permanently.  Even though there is nothing we can do about these legal realities, I assure you that we will work as quickly as possible to get all the vehicles titled correctly and get the proper paperwork in place to be able to return the vehicles to Danny's family.


Please pray the Danny will not use this as an opportunity to attack us publicly. We are trying desperately to walk with integrity, but our reputation and our livelihood are put at risk every time he writes another attacking email/post.



Please pray that we will be able to move past these things soon, and get back to the work that God is doing through Joy in Hope.
