Dear Friends and Family:
Greetings
from Haiti. For many months we have
asked for your prayers for the Christian Reformed Church of Haiti (CRCH), the
Haitian denomination that we have worked closely with for the last ten years. Since last fall the denominational
administration of the CRCH has been closed because of a conflict between
key leaders. In September and October
dormant ministries of the CRCH will restart, Lord willing. During the last few days of September, Sharon
has again begun mentoring women’s ministry leaders from the CRCH. Next week the CRCH will restart the
theological education program as well.
Of course, there are still many issues to resolve. But we give thanks to God for some significant
evidence of improvement.
Please
join us in giving thanks for:
1.
Healing for our colleague Fevrier Cherubin who
was nearly electrocuted in August.
Fevrier is back in the office and working on youth ministry projects.
2.
Zachary survived his second bout of Dengue
Fever, a viral mosquito-borne illness that can be particularly painful and
fatiguing.
3.
Sharon’s opportunity to begin working with
the women’s ministry of the CRCH. There
is much to do after a year of inactivity.
4.
Zach submitted his entire 420 page
dissertation for evaluation in September!

1.
A three-day-long session of Timothy
Leadership Training which will happen October14-16. Pray that God will send willing participants.
2.
The theological training session that will
occur the 6th-8th of October. We will be teaching on the Gospels and the
Pentateuch.
3.
Safety during the elections scheduled for
October 25. In addition to the second
round of parliamentary elections, Haitians will vote for a new president.
4.
Wisdom as we make decisions about projects
and visiting teams this coming winter.
