Dear Friends:
On Saturday we will celebrate three years of efforts invested in fifteen Haitian church leaders. These leaders will be the first graduating class of the Reformed Bible Training Institute, a bible school created by the Christian Reformed Church of Haiti to train local church leaders around Haiti. For the last three years, these students have attended four three-day-long seminars and completed numerous assignments from their homes. During the seminars, the students learned everything from leading marriage ceremonies to the different covenants in the Old Testament. What is truly amazing is that these seminars took place in spite of hurricanes, earthquakes and political instability. Take a look at the picture of some of the key leaders that we have been training for the last three years.
Please join us in giving thanks for:
-A successful Timothy Leadership Training conference in May. Over forty leaders who had been successfully using this training in their ministry were further trained in the materials.
-A successful visit of Lakeside CRC of Alto, MI. Lakeside is interested in developing a project in the Thomassique area of Haiti.
-a successful completion of the school year for our three oldest children, Hannah, Vivian and Isaiah.
-Our eleventh wedding anniversary on May 20.
Please join us in praying for:
-The completion of the Kay Jakmel church. We have hit a hitch in finding the appropriate materials for the church’s roof. Pray that the project can be finished soon.
-The upcoming visit of two churches to Haiti: Calvary CRC of Holland, MI and Fuller Avenue CRC of Grand Rapids, MI. Pray for safety and profitable projects.
-Success for the Women’s Spiritual Retreat being planned for June 23-26 in Thomassique, Haiti. Sharon, along with the pastor of Fuller Ave. CRC, will participate. Don’t forget to arrange a visit to your church during our upcoming home-service from Aug 3, 2011 to Feb. 10, 2012. We will put you in contact with our scheduler!
