GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Except for fuel shortage and problems changing money to the Haitian currency, our trip back to Haiti went fairly smooth.  Thank you for your prayers, we were able to find enough fuel to get to our home in the NW mountains.  The pastor groups are doing great and growing.  It is always exciting to get back and hear their testimonies of what God is doing.  One testimony is how Pastor Paul's congregation put their hands and resources together, over the past several months, to get the walls up on the new church building and how God has blessed their obedience to do so.  Another is hearing more about how God made a way for them to get into the prison when there seemed to be no way opening up.

About a week ago we were able to find fuel again.  Praise the Lord! 

You will see below the prayer and financial needs.  They are not in order by priority, as they are all needs and prayer concerns.  Thank you for being faithful to pray and give as God's Spirit leads you.  If He prompts you to help with one of the following needs, please let me know and/or write it in the memo of your check.

Prayer and financial needs:

1. I mentioned in January that God has put it on my (Carolyn) heart to write a book.  Due to being very busy and sometimes the internet can be a problem, we have decided to wait until later in the year when we are in the states over the holidays and better internet to finish and release it.  Thank you for continued prayers and that God will use this book for His glory and to get others involved in missions.

2. 4 young single moms (all with different stories) need help with a small business loan so they can provide for their families. We will be doing a bible study with them, plus teaching them how to run a small business before giving the loan.

3. Cement for pastor Pauls church floor, iron for the final top layer of the blocks, then roofing materials.

4. In March we will begin sending 2 ladies (pastors wives from our group) to the Unity groups I have been discipling and sometimes their husbands will go also to the Unity groups in other villages to disciple the pastors wives. Discipling them as a couple on marriage and how to do sexual purity and the gospel in the schools in their areas (God continues to expand our territory and use those He has given us to disciple).  More of disciples making disciples.

5. July and August pastors conferences, each conference will cost around $500.

6. Team coming from The Church of Living Water Feb 12-27 to put two church roofs on.  Pray for provision and safety

7. David and Pamela Rushing from The Church of Living Water, coming with the team, then staying an extra 4 weeks

8. Continue to pray for the unrest. Mainly over fuel prices and pray that the fuel will continue to be available and changing money will not be an issue.

9.  Pray for the Haitian economy, it continues to drop, which makes prices go up.

10. Pastor Odinal had some prayers answered.  He is back with family and thanks to your giving, some of the loan has been paid back.  He still owes around $500.  He will return to the doctor in Port au Prince in a couple of months to see if they can take the braces off his legs that are holding the pins in while it heals and walking with crutches.  Please continue to pray for complete healing, strength and trusting God totally.

11. As the churches are getting their roofs on and we see the congregation growing, they are in need of more benches.

12. Being able to continue to go into the prisons with the gospel and New Testaments available to take.

Philippians 4:17: Not that I/we seek the gift, but I/we seek the fruit that abounds to your account.

Our love for Christ, what He did for us on the Cross and the love He put in our hearts for the lost and the Haitian people keep us here.  God uses your love for us, your encouragement, along with your prayers and financial giving to make it possible for us to be here too minister and disciple pastors so they can be equipped to evangelize, disciple and be an effective pastor that teaches truth.

Show God you are truly ready to follow Him wherever He leads:
