Segaar-King December Update

Dear Friends and Family:

Greetings from Haiti.  God has been good to us in 2015, protecting and providing for our life and work in Haiti.  One of the biggest answers to prayer has been renewal after a painful conflict within the Christian Reformed Church of Haiti, a Haitian denomination with which we have worked since 2005.  It is great to be able to work with the churches and Haitian leaders of this denomination again.  A second answer to prayer is the recruitment of new missionaries to serve in Haiti.  Finally, we are thankful for your continued prayer and financial support of our ministry, two things which we will continue to need in 2016.

Please join us in giving thanks for:

1.   Our new missionaries, Cory and Lynn Grimm and family.  They will officially be starting with Christian Reformed World Missions in January, 2016.  It will take at least six months for support-raising before they can arrive on the field.

2.   A successful Worship and Music Conference in December.  Our theme was “Be the worship leader God has called you to be.”  We trained over 120 Haitian church leaders in practical and theological principles to help them become better worship leaders.

3.   A great visit from Larry and Faith Segaar, who spent about 10 days with us.

Please join us in prayer for:

1.   Visiting teams in January from Second CRC of Allendale and Lakeside CRC.  For the service component, the teams this winter will be helping us put an addition on our mission office to house Perspectives Reformees, the CRC media ministry.

2.   Stability in Haiti.  The Dec. 27 presidential election was cancelled.  The new date will most likely be in January.

3.   Zach’s final push to finish his Ph.d.  The final draft is due on February 15.

4.   That we would receive the metal trusses for a church we want to build.  The vendor is over three months late after receiving full payment and construction is delayed.

Please see the attached New Year’s greeting.
