Dear Friends
and Family:
Please join
us in giving thanks for:
-Some
improvement in our pain level from the chikungunya virus. We are looking forward to a visit to the
doctor a few days after returning for some long-term help.
-The
fifteenth General Assembly of the Christian Reformed Church of Haiti. During this assembly, a new president,
Camelus Anger (pronounced “Anje”), was elected to a five-year term.
-A successful visit to the Jean-Rabel area for
a Timothy Leadership Conference. We had
expected about forty pastors, but, because of the chikungunya virus, only half
the expected number were present.
Please join
us in praying for:
-Our
continued ministry in Haiti while we are in Michigan. Our Canadian colleagues Larry Luth and John
Vanderstoep will continue in our absence.
-A good
transition from Haiti to Michigan for our family. Pray especially for our children, Hannah (who
will be in 6th grade), Isaiah and Vivian (who will be in 3rd
grade), and Esther (who will be in kindergarten). Pray that our ministry partners and
supporting churches will receive our ministry reports well and continue to
support our ministry.
-Pray for
peace and understanding as the Christian Reformed Church of Haiti goes through
a major leadership transition and an ongoing financial crisis.
-Pray for
wisdom for Haiti’s leaders as four years’ worth of election delays mean that
only the president and a handful of parliament officials are serving valid
mandates, creating instability in the country.
-Pray that
qualified teachers could be found for the theological training programs that we
participate in during our absence. Pray
that God would bless the students and help them to grow in their faith and
ministry.
-Pray for
Zach and Sharon as they seek to grow in their knowledge and ministry
skills—Zach will be trying to finish his Ph.D. dissertation and Sharon will be
doing Clinical Pastoral Education.
We have
published a new video about our ministry in Haiti that can be found at U-Tube
