Hello to all,

   I am keeping busy. The roads here are slowly getting opened back up again using temporary bridges and some river fording. We are finally able to get more aid into the very needy areas. Haiti is still reeling from the effects of the storms, many people are starting to get very hungry as they now have no crops at all and some of their livestock was washed away. There are of course areas that are worse than others but in general things are not looking good for the future. We help where we can and our goal is to show people that they need to turn to Jesus. This country is so steeped in Voudou many people are ingnorant of the fact that Jesus loves them and gave his life for them. Please pray for Haiti. Pray that people would turn to Jesus in their difficulties.

God Bless you! 

Dear Friends,
  I wanted to post these photos of some blows Hurricane Gustav dealt to Fon Doux. There definitly is much damage done to many areas and many houses are damaged or destroyed. Just in this area alone there are 7 houses destroyed and 11 that are damaged severely.

Please pray for these dear people. More rain is falling from Hurricane Hanna and there is much damage all across Haiti and much flooding. I am in the south right now and we are attempting a distrubution of rice and beans in an area called Cote-de-Fer. Today the river was still too high to get across and there is a big truck stuck in the approach to the river. This makes it impossible for us to get our trucks through right now. We are hoping to be able to do something about it tomorrow.

More later...

It's been a long time! God's Blessings to each one and thanks for your prayers over the past months. God has been good. My time here in Haiti has been full and blessed. I am especially blessed to continue to be a part of the work God is doing in Fon Doux. My desire is to continue to bless the church there. Pray with me that God would keep them in the right way. 

Here are a few pictures from Haitian Memorial Day. I spent that weekend in Fon Doux and the school had a special program planned for the day. It included special marches, games, singing, and all kinds of stuff. It was a fun day and I think everyone was pretty well worn out at the end of the day. It was sort of different for me being a "blan" to be there but the children were all excited. They said I am no longer an American, I am now a Haitian with white skin. 

Here is a picture of the whole school, along with teachers, directors, workers and everyone. The fellows in Camo are the ones who directed the special marches and stuff.

One of the marches done by the school. It was pretty amazing to see.

Marching down the road. I followed in the truck carrying water and stuff for the children to drink.

A sack race. This is Junior (my orphan boy I take care of) winning the race! He sure can hop fast!

Until next time!
