Planning for America

Pennsylvania 2012 – Chris & Joy knew just what we needed!

I am beginning to make plans for our annual return to America.  Each of our friends and supporters are such an important part of this work in Haiti.  We would love to see as many of you as possible.  At this point, it looks like our itinerary will take us to Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and New England from Sep 5 through Oct 15.  If you are in any of these locations and would like to have us share with some of your friends, business associates or church groups, please contact me to see if we can coordinate a time.  The dates fill up quickly, so please don’t wait.  We would love to share with everyone about what God has been up to at MOHI in Haiti.

Keep checking back here to see what events you might be able to join us at, as well!  Soooo looking forward to seeing so many special friends once again!

Baptisms

We had an extra special baptism service today, as three of the children from the Hands and Feet Project decided to leave the past behind and follow Jesus into their futures.  What a joy to see Denise, Naomi and Mikerlange make this choice for their lives.  Congratulations, Girls!!!

Laptop Mania

Peterson Forest’s creation on a laptop.

I am so pleased with the progress our kids in the computer club are making.  We have a need for USB computer mice to connect to the laptops.    I love the creativity we’re seeing in these students, but the built-in mouse on the xo laptop is very limiting.   Please contact me if you have a mouse (or several) you would like to donate.  This week we will be adding another 20 elementary grade students to the computer club.  Junior and Elisabeth are doing an excellent job of training and keeping the students motivated.  This summer we are planning to start another class, specifically for young, non-reading students.

St Etienne Restaurant Project

It’s so wonderful to see the determination of Peter and Janina as they began moving forward with the work at the restaurant in St. Etienne.    Jackie joined them a couple of times this week, as well.  I KNOW they worked hard, because Friday evening around 7 I went to the missionary compound to see them and they were in bed already!

Church in Thozin

I always like to share pictures of the beautiful people we worship in Haiti.  Here some pictures from this morning in Thozin.

Different natural families, but one in the spirit.

John 4:24 “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

School Construction

Painting the interior and installing the railings are still the focus at the school construction site.  Plumbing, doors and windows are still needed.  If you would like to help purchase any of these items, please visit our donation page.  “School Construction” should be noted in the memo.  Thank you!
