Dear Friends and Family:

 Greetings from Michigan!  We give thanks to God that we arrived safely in Grand Rapids after a long trip from Port-au-Prince to Chicago, from Chicago to Macomb, IL (for a funeral service for Zach’s grandmother) and from Macomb, IL to Grand Rapids.  We will be in Grand Rapids until Aug. 9 for Zach’s continuing study.  We will have to keep up with some ministry activities from Michigan as well.

Please join us in giving thanks for:
-A good visit from Peace Community Church (Frankfort, IL) in June.  The team of three helped the Haitian construction team pour one third of the roof of the Ministry for Christian Development conference center. 
-A good report from the orthopedic doctor for Sharon.  After an exam and several x-rays, her doctor in Michigan believes that her kneecap is not broken after all.  Instead she has a bone spur and a large hematoma (bruise) that needs physical therapy.
-A good visit from a group from Calvin CRC of Holland.  Randy Bouwer from Calvin CRC will be helping us lead music and worship conference with several of our Haitian colleagues when we return to Haiti in August.  Please pray for the conference as most of the planning will have to be done in our absence!
Please join us in praying for:
-The annual women’s conference in Belladere, Haiti.  The event, which was planned for the end of June, was cancelled because the local leaders could not get the event organized on time (one leader delivered a baby prematurely and the other became seriously ill).  The event was rescheduled for July 19-21.  Pray that the participants would not be discouraged.
-Focus and energy for Zach to work on his dissertation on New Testament Missiology while balancing a number of family and work obligations.
-Healing for injuries untreated in Haiti and refreshment for our return to Haiti in August.
