Dear
Friends and Family:
People
often ask about our biggest challenge living and working in Haiti. One big challenge is transition. Since 2011, one missionary has resigned from
our Haiti team every year. As planned,
our colleague for the last four years, Larry Luth, will be permanently
departing Haiti in a few weeks. However,
we didn’t plan on the resignation of Larry’s replacement, Cory Grimm, in April. Admittedly, we feel a great burden to
continue the work started thirty years ago by CRWM in Haiti. However, we are thankful for all those valued
colleagues who have sacrificially given of themselves for the sake of the work
in Haiti and returned to North America. Pray
for the Luths as they go through this challenging transition. Pray also that God will provide a new
missionary to serve with us in Haiti.
Please join us in giving thanks for:
1. Progress in
building an addition for our mission office and for the Ounamenthe church construction
project.
2.
Safety and
success for our trip to Jean Rabel to train eleven church leaders in “Sustainable
Community Development.”
3.
Continued
healing for Zach’s broken clavicle.
4.
Safety and
health.
Please join us in prayer for:
1.
New missionary
appointees for Haiti.
2.
Our “Street
Psalms” program in which we assist Haitian church leaders to minister to gang
members and the urban poor, two classes of people under-served in the
evangelical Haitian churches. We will be
evaluating it and planning new strategies in early May.
3. Three days
of Timothy Leadership Training 11-13 May.
Pray for a good group of participants that are ready to apply what they
learn to their ministry.
4.
A good
conclusion to the school year for our children and safe travels in June. We will be taking some well-needed time off.
Thanks for your prayers and support,
Zachary, Sharon, Hannah, Vivian, Isaiah and Esther Segaar-King
Missionaries to Haiti through Christian Reformed World Missions
