Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
Thank you so much for the monetary gifts that help us to do what God calls us to do and the prayers and encouragement for the strength to not grow weary.
Our trip back to our mountain home in Haiti was great. No problems, but you should have seen how loaded down the truck was, three extra people and luggage and supplies, but, it all fit.
While we were gone the unity continued to grow. Christmas week the pastors went out at 5am each morning for 6 consecutive days to pray in different areas and Christmas morning has a special service at our house. They continued to meet faithfully on Fridays and do things without our prompting. It was a great encouragement to see it continue on in our absence, plus do things on their own to continue building unity.
The 2 crusades are being planned for February and March to reach the lost in our area. Please pray for them also.
Group #6 starting in February in Mole St Nicolas. That is where the beach is, maybe we can make it there more often now.
The churches will be doing the VBS' together again this summer. With five other groups now and 10 churches in each group, there will be more opportunity to reach more children for Christ.
We will have workshops this summer to better equip them for ministry in their churches.
Peter, one of our workers, started a prayer group in the community and is sensing a call to ministry. Please keep him and his wife in your prayers.
Bibles update: We were able to purchase a few recently. We will be able to purchase 200 when we go to Port this month. The 1,000 NT have not arrived yet but should in the next couple months. We will have to pay shipping on them when they arrive. Praying/trusting God will make a way for 2,000 bibles or New Testaments this year, 800 to go and who knows God may have a plan for more......
Goat ministry update: In January we put 21 goats in the hands of the pastors to help them build their herds. We have plans to do more soon.
ATV update: Still owe $1500. We are so thankful the missionary let us have it before it was paid because it is such a blessing to have to get to these remote places the other pastors groups are.
Building update: We had rain so they are able to work on it. Hopefully be done in March. It will be a blessing to have the meetings inside instead of outside under a tarp.
School update: We are hiring two more presenters. We are anticipating more schools. The teachers and principals are asking for us to come more because the information is so important.
Sewing update: Having trouble keeping the machines working but praying we will be able to make it to the end of school in June.
Personal need: 2 pieces of luggage. Size med or large preferable with wheels and a pull out handle due to airport terminals when we have to walk a distance.
The Harvest is ripe but the workers are few. Pray asking God how He wants to use you to be a part of the Harvest.
All that you do, do for the glory of God and as you make decision don't forget to think about, "what would Jesus do".
Blessings to each of you,
Terry and Carolyn
Your missionaries in Haiti
