On October 25th, Haiti had their second round parliament election and first round of presidential elections.
Although election day went very well, there have been some violent
protests by the losing parties. Of the 49 people who ran for president,
the top two winners (Moise Jovenel & Jude Celestin) will advance to
the second round of presidential elections on the 27th of December. Pray
that peace reigns in Haiti as the nation continues on their electoral
path.
We
presently have a group of five with us. They are building bar joists
for the church balcony. Pray that God provides the funds and teams
needed to complete Croix des Mission church building. The church is
packed (over 6oo in attendance) and waiting for their balcony and the
rest of their roof. Please
consider whether your church could send a team in April to continue
working on this church that was destroyed in the 2010 earthquake.
New Life Bible College is going well. We have 30 first year students making a total of 97 students for the year. We will be wrapping up the first semester in December. We thank God for each of you who sponsors a Bible College student.
We
are excited that our daughter Rachel coming home. She will be arriving
on November 16th. She plans to live in Haiti for a while. Pray
that God helps her find a paying job in the country that will meet her
needs and where she feels that she's making a difference.
We
are rejoicing that God has provided $2,050 of the $2,600 that is needed
in order to begin developing our new piece of property which will be
used by the New Life Bible College. Please consider how you might be involved in this important first step. We know that God will finish what He has begun.
As
some may already know, I (Roger) have written a book in Creole on what
the Bible teaches concerning money and material possessions. We feel
this book will be of great value to the Haitian church. We have
received a quote of $2,800 to print 500 copies which works out to be
$5.60 a book.
I
would like to be able to subsidize this book for the believers, since
for many of them would have difficulty purchasing the book at the full
price. I would like to be able to sell them for $2.80 a book. Won't you
consider making a gift towards this book project?
