Haiti

It's cancelled

 

haha JUST KIDDING.  I am in a weird mood today.  But your heart probably dropped for a milisecond there. 

 

The church has asked us what we would like in the bulletin, which is kind of odd because normally it takes an act of God to get something in the bulletin.  This is as far as prayer requests and the like.  If you have any suggestions please let me know.

 

"As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!  Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42but only one thing is needed.^[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." - Luke 10:38-42

 

"Jezi al fè wout li ansanm ak disip li yo. Li antre nan yon ti bouk kote yon fanm yo rele Mat resevwa l' lakay li.  Mat sa a te gen yon sè yo rele Mari. Mari te chita nan pye mèt la, li t'ap koute pawòl li yo.  Mat menm t'ap fatige kò l' ak tout travay ki te pou fèt nan kay la. Lè sa a, li vini, li di: Mèt, sa pa fè ou anyen pou ou wè sè m' lan kite m' ap fè tout travay la pou kont mwen? Manyè di l' ede m' non.  Jezi reponn li: Mat, Mat. W'ap trakase tèt ou, w'ap bat kò ou pou yon bann bagay.  Men, se yon sèl bagay ki nesesè. Se li Mari chwazi, yo p'ap janm wete l' nan men li."

FRIDAY WE LEAVE!

 

We first met Willie at a feeding outreach we held in his village. He was brought to us by residents of the village who said he needed medical help. Hunched over and barely able to walk, Willie needed both hands, resting on his knees to support his body. His leg muscles could not support the weight of his body. They tried voodou but he only got worse. When we took him into the home we prayed heavily and watched in awe as God worked miracles. Today, Willie is haelthy, walks, runs and loves to ride his bike. He also loves school.

 

Jonas is a quiet and likeable young man who loves school and is always looking to help out. Would go to fasting with his mother and lived house to house. He said he used to go to school and fly kites. He loves sports, however, unfortuntely, health problems prevent him from actively participating in all the sports we enjoys. He suffers from epilepsy. He loves school and his favorite subject is math.
