Segaar-King Update



Dear Friends and Family:

Greetings from Haiti. Yesterday we traveled to an area on the south coast of Haiti called Kay Jakmel. According to a recent report, Kay Jacmel has seen the least amount of reconstruction of any area in Haiti affected by the January 12, 2010 earthquake. Through funds provided SONBEAM International, Sous Espwa has been helping Kay Jakmel CRC to rebuild its church building. At the same time, the Kay Jakmel church members are assisting neighbors to rebuild their damaged homes through funds provided by CRWRC Disaster Response. It is exciting to see a group of Christians putting their faith in practice in their community!

Please join us in giving thanks for:
-A good kick off for a relief project being done by the CRC of Haiti in three communities in and around Jakmel. The project includes home reconstruction, trauma counseling, and loans to merchants who lost their business after the earthquake.
-Dedication of the Siloye CRC (Jakmel) building on April 10. It was amazing to see the congregation’s witness to the community and thankfulness to God.
-Plans that are being made for our upcoming home service. We will leave Haiti on August 3 and return on Feb. 10, 2012. CRWM will be contacting our partner churches soon to arrange a visit.

Please join us in praying for:
-The upcoming Timothy Leadership Training conference May 4-6. We are expecting sixty leaders who are training fellow Christians in practical ministry skills.
-A visit from Lakeside CRC of Alto, MI. We are taking the delegation to an area called Thomassique (see picture above) to explore a possible partnership with local churches in a community and church development program.
-A visit from an “Open Team” who will be taking part in the building of a water tower for the Ministry Center property.
-The Kay Jakmel church reconstruction project. Pray that the local church volunteers will be able to carry the project to completion.
