Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

PRAISE THE LORD! Group # 8 has asked us to help them get started.  We are so blessed and thankful to be a part of what God is doing here in NW Haiti.  If you want to be blessed and be a part of what HE is doing here, see below how you can be a part in praying and/or giving or coming to help.

We attended a bible conference in Richmond MO before returning to Haiti.  It was exciting to be a part of putting together New Testaments that will be coming to Haiti.  Hopefully there will be enough to share.  Not sure of the total they did but is was a lot.

 

It has been a great few weeks back.  The pastor groups are growing and doing well.  They all did their part while we were gone.  It was encouraging to come back to that.

 

Our school presenters did a great job this past school year.  Approximately 3500 total youth and many teachers received the sexual purity until marriage info and the gospel.  Many of the teachers present were so encouraged and impressed by the information our presenters were giving the students they asked for a workshop to teach them more so they can encourage their students.  Rousier did the workshop with 60 teachers present.

 

Analogy:  Are you a thermometer, adjusting to the culture/world or a thermostat changing the culture and world around you by being Jesus to them?

 

The workshops are going great.  We just finished the pastors workshop here this past week.  We had 25 in attendance and they studied about how to be a successful pastor according to the  Bible, not the world.  On the last day we had a meal and celebration of the past year all that God is doing.  Two other groups joined us, hopefully more can next year.

We have several more workshops planned for the summer and one the first part of November with Pastor Tim from Hughesville Baptist church, Hughesville MO.  We may have a pastor and wife come in October to do a crusade, but do not have final word on that yet. If God is laying on your heart to come help, let us know.

 

We want to spotlight Rousier Sino (pronounce Woozia) this month:  He is our translator/administrator.  His picture with his family is in pictures on our blog.  He has been working with us since May 2014 and we believe he is one of the best translators in Haiti and are blessed to have him.  He was raised in an orphanage in Port au Prince by Americans, so his English and Kreyol are both about the same.  He has 4 children and his wife helps us sometimes in the school presentations. He directs our sexual purity school presentations and he helps our other worker with the children each Thursday.  He also is raising an orphan and two of his wife's younger siblings.  Rousier loves the Lord and loves serving Him with us. He enjoys watching or listening to soccer, reading and playing with kids. We are building him a house as part of his salary.  It is costing more than we had planned for, so have had to slow down.  If you would like to help with his house, please let us know and mark the check:  House Rousier.

 

Please continue to pray:

For the VBS' and the workshops.

Each of the pastor groups (pray specifically that they will see the importance of teaching against the cultural traditions and false teachings that go against the Word of God and keep people from coming to JEsus.)

Pray for Haiti and their presidential election in October. (many people are afraid to vote because it can cost them their life)

Pray for USA and our presidential election in November. (it is a must to get on our knees to pray and get out and vote for the one that will keep our freedoms and God in America and actually loves the USA and the people in it.)  We have seen first hand how a country suffers with God totally out of the government and a governenment that DOES NOT CARE ABOUT the people and even oppresses them and if America doesn't get on our knees, speak out and make a change this election, it could end up that way too and that would be tragic.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
