We have now been in the U.S over 6 weeks. We have driven in 6 states, traveled over 3500 miles, flown to Texas and will be going back to Haiti on July 18th. We have slept in over 15 different beds as we visited family, friends and churches. Through it all, we have rested and enjoyed many things. We are presently in Florida with some good friends, making last minute purchases before we return.
We have 2 big praise reports. We have received the money we have been trying to raise for New Life Bible College Pavilion. This is for the second stage of this project which is pouring the pillars.
Also, from an unexpected source, we received money for a new roof on our New Life Church of L’azile. We were speaking in one of Elim’s churches when after service a man came up to us and told us that he would take care of this need. The miracle is that he was not a member of this church, but a visitor. God knew the need, and sent someone we didn’t know to a church that was not his own to provide for God’s kingdom work.
Our God is Awesome!!!
As we look to this coming school year, we would like to challenge you to sponsor an elementary school child or provide a scholarship for one of our New Life Bible College students.
This is of great importance due to Haiti’s high inflation rate of 17.70 % (compared to the United States being 1.60 %). The results of this, to an already very poor nation, are devastating: causing greater poverty, malnutrition and hunger. According to latest statistics by the World Bank, 50% of children do not attend school due to the fact that 90% of the schools are private, and the impoverished parents are unable to afford them.
