Two
weeks ago we had Abundant Life Church work team with us. They were a
tremendous blessing to us and our ministry. They
made great head way on our New Life Church in Croix des Mission. In 5
days of work they cut steel, made cages for pillars and beams. On the
sixth day working very late and using every bit of energy and skill they
had, they poured 2 pillars and 3 beams. This is no small feat
considering the tools they
had and the extreme heat. Thanks to their labor of love, we now have
the first beams poured for the church balcony. Of course, none of this
would be possible without John Wicks our engineer and your gifts of
love.
May
is one of our busiest months. May 1st we have our annual alumni
meeting. May 3rd we take pictures of those who will be graduating so we
can put their pictures in the graduation program and prepare a
photo album to present them on graduation day. May 19th starts our one
week of exams. May 31st is graduation
day.
In
the midst of all this, I am busy preparing to kick off our Bible School
by correspondence program. As well, we are preparing to go to the
States on June 6th. Of course, this does not exclude our normal
responsibilities of me serving as an elder at a local church, teaching
classes, on the radio every week, having bi-monthly meetings with our
Haitian staff, etc. Margaret's normal duties on top of the extra load
this month are book keeping, banking, correspondence, children's church
work, overseeing of elementary schools,
and our nutrition program plus much more.
Although
we keep plenty busy, we consider it a privilege to serve the Lord in
this way. We thank Him for the strength he gives us everyday and are
amazed His faithfulness.
Great update! Thanks for all your efforts.
