Dear
Friends and Family:
Greetings
from Michigan! Over the next few weeks
we need to accomplish a few mundane chores.
First, we need to move our stuff out of Sharon’s parents’ basement as
they are selling their house. Second, we
have to attend to a number of doctors’ appointments for our family. And finally, Zach needs some library time to
make a few revisions to his Ph.D. dissertation.
We are looking forward to spending time with family and friends as well.
Please join us in giving thanks for:
1.
The
completion of the Ounamenthe church construction project. For the first time in years, the church
members have a solid roof over their heads.
2.
A good visit
to Jean Rabel to train twelve key leaders in sustainable community development.
3.
A
well-attended Timothy Leadership Training seminar in May. We trained 80 leaders in key ministry
practices like preaching, teaching, pastoral care, and stewardship.
4.
A safe trip
to Michigan.
Please join us in prayer for:
1.
New
missionary appointees for Haiti.
2. The
political situation in Haiti. An
independent commission published a report recommending that last fall’s
election results be thrown out because of fraud. While many welcome this decision, the winners
of last fall’s elections could violently protest. Furthermore, the interim
government put in place to hold elections has overstayed its mandate and no
election has been held. Pray for cool-heads
and wise decisions.
3.
The women’s
conference in Jacmel (on Haiti’s south coast).
The women of the CRC of Haiti, along with Sharon, will be taking two
days for prayer, reflection, and bible study.
Pray for a safe trip and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
4.
Rest and
renewal during our trip to Michigan. We
are feeling pretty fatigued and a little overwhelmed by what needs to happen
before we go back to Haiti.
Thanks for your prayers and support,
Zachary, Sharon, Hannah, Vivian, Isaiah and Esther Segaar-King
Missionaries to Haiti through Christian Reformed World Missions
