<br /></div>
Praises: we are all much better! Stomach virus went around the family for about 3 weeks<br />
<div>
Nicky took me out for my 39th birthday- we got to have a date!</div>
<div>
It has been a little cooler these past few days- only mid 90's</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Prayers: Nicky has been working really hard getting the very large gates up- continue to pray for safety and strength as he works out in the hot sun</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wisdom and guidance for me as I homeschool. I truly enjoy it but somedays are exhausting, especially with teams here to take care of.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br />
The kids will never forget this communion a few Sundays ago at church! We went to one of our local churches that Dave Heady was preaching at. This isn't out of the ordinary since a team is here.<br />
<br />
At the end of the service we participated in communion which the kids have done before but this time as they picked up the "grape juice" I could see both kids bring the liquid to their noses and then an expression I have seen many times came across their faces.<br />
<br />
But neither commented or protested. At the appointed time we all drank the juice. I am actually proud of my kids for their reactions, they both made the face of disgust but they didn't verbalize or make any comment that proved their dislike. Luckily we were seated behind the pulpit so the congregation could not see us entirely.<br />
<br />
Ellie was sitting beside me. Very discretely she leaned over to me and said "what was that stuff." I informed her that that was wine. In turn she matter of factly said "Now I know wine tastes nasty!"</div>

Our new member of the family. She was intended to be a shop cat , to catch mice and rats, but I don't think the kids are going to part with her. And at the point I have seen rats bigger than she is.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Prayers</i></b>:</span> I am not whining but it has been extremely hot here the last few days- today the high has been 110 degrees</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Continue to pray for our family as a whole. We can get so busy that we don't take time as a family.</div>

5 good wells were drilled, bring fresh, clean water to lots of people. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
I don't say this enough, I am so proud of my husband! He loves The Lord and has a passion for being the man God wants him to be!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Many days he was leaving the house at 6:30 am to travel more than an hour to work with Curt King a well driller with Healing Hands International. They were blessed with 5 good, clean wells and one dry hole.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Getting to the last area they drilled was tricky. This was a really steep road. As they reached the top people were cheering at their arrival. Unfortunately, even to 300 ft was dry. As they were packing up to go back down the mountain a rainstorm came making the trip more difficult.<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The kids enjoyed playing and spending time with friends and family while we were in the States. But we were all glad to get back home. The lady that runs our conference center kitchen had her grand kids here for a few weeks. They come every summer. They are such good kids! They speak a little English so it is great to see Xander and Ellie learning and practicing more creole with them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most of the time I had anywhere from 9-15 kids at one time. They loved riding bicycles and playing with tennis rackets. The girls loved to help me bake cookies and cakes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My main job last week was to get receipts turned in and get caught up on sending out thank you notes. I hand wrote 54 in 3 days. We had a team leaving on Saturday so they needed to go with them back to the states.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We started school Monday. I was so ready to get back into somewhat of a routine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We were also encouraged by family, the Turner's, that were here for 10 days on a mission trip. They are fellow Global Outreach missionaries from Costa Rica.</div>

We can get our conference center booked<br />
We are able to bring glory to God through our actions and words<br />
<br />
<br />
Praises: We have received all the things we shipped down in March<br />
We have been making intentional family time<br />
We got our Visa's (permis)!!<br />
<br />
<br />
The end of January we were blessed by another ministry organization as well, by lending us a teacher, a painter and a mechanic for a week. The teacher gave Kristie a much needed break for the week and the painter and mechanic helped cross off a lot on Nicky's to do list.<br />
<br />
Our visiting teams have been doing construction, working on dorms on the compound, building a new church, and doing some welding and generator work, along with bringing a much needed welder and supplies.<br />

We were blessed by them helping us start a carport for our house, helping teach the kids (while Kristie painted), and did lots of photography for upcoming gran moun and teacher sponsorship. What an encouragement to have friends come and work along side you!<br />

One team had asked us weeks before if we had any personal supply needs and they went above and beyond in blessing all of us missionaries on the compound, especially the kids, 42 suit cases. It was like Christmas time. Just being blessed with the everyday items like ziplock bags, honey, and candy/ snacks.<br />

We love having teams who work selflessly to invest in God' s kingdom. Teams have worked ministering to our gran moun (old people), patients in the burn clinic, kids in the schools, building a new church, drilling and repairing wells, and encouraging us. Without teams we couldn't get much done behind the scenes, bringing in parts and supplies keeping us going when things are broken. And the people we get to meet and have relationships with that continue, especially if teams come back year after year.<br />
<br />
We continue to pray for more missionaries to come full or part time to minister alongside us keeping our compound maintained and running well.<br />

Our mission built a church 1 1/2 hours up the mountain in a place overwhelmed by voodoo. Forty-two truck loads of materials and water were taken to get it done. This kept Nicky busy repairing trucks and tires along with everything else going. This church was dedicated to a young father of 3 young kids that lost his life in a accident. He came to Haiti years ago with Global on a team and that started his love for Haiti. This man's parents, younger brother, and 12 yr old son came to dedicate the church. It was a sweet ceremony, so many Haitians hungry for God 's word.<br />

We are praying before drilling a new well in a new village for clean water. There is not a clean well for miles of this place. They have to walk to our compound or buy water to get it. Pray we hit good water , as we are drilling close to 2 dry holes we drilled here last year. </div>

We are starting a new church building in the mountains this week, in a village that's the voodoo capital in the area. Satan will be and is fighting us hard in this place, dedicated to satan, as we build this place of worship. This is our local church that has bought the land and planting this church, so glad to see the church growing here! Keep praying hard for us in this, he won't give up easy. </div>

Continuing to learn the language<br />
Our family as it is hard to do things as a family, satan tries <br />
to do whatever he can to separate us. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
PRAISES: Boom lift purchased and delivered to Nashville<br />
Nicky baptized Ellie while we were in the States<br />
New family arrived to work with us<br />
Good well was drilled for school with 800 kids<br />
Crusade went well in our village during voodoo holidays Halloween in the states<br />
<br />
We pasted our 1 year mark for living in Haiti. In some ways it seems like a year has flown by and other ways it seems like we have been here for much longer. Either way we are blessed to be able to serve the Lord as a family.<br />
<br />
Sorry for the late post. I have many excuses that I could tell you but the fact that I am a procrastinator should say enough. I know people want to here what is going on down here but to me it is just normal everyday stuff that doesn't seem important. I have realized I need to get over that because no matter how small and unimportant our daily lives seem, they are so important to God and His will for the future and furthering His kingdom.<br />
<br />
For the past month we have had back to back teams and guest housing. We are able to be such a blessing to other ministries, providing them a place to stay and meals. (One night we had over 30 people to feed). I thank the Lord for our Haitian ladies that do most of the cooking. I just make sure the meals are planned out and they have the food they need, and help with some of the cooking, making some deserts.<br />
<br />
I was able to give our ladies in the kitchen a cake decorating class with some of the supplies that brought down with me.<br />

We had a new family move down a month ago. The Todd family, they have 4 children, ages 4-16. Xander and Ellie are so excited to have more kids to play with and we are very appreciative of the additional help and fellowship.<br />
<br />
Since the time has changed it gets dark at about 5:30pm and gets light about 5:45 am. Most nights we struggle to stay up till 8:30pm and some nights I have gone to bed at 7:30. But we do get up early, making you feel that you are more accomplished, plus it is cooler earlier in the mornings.<br />
<br />
While we were guest housing both kids were up before I was to make sure they could go help make breakfast for them. Xander usually is up early but Ellie likes to sleep. Even she wanted to help even if it was to sit and read a book while Xander, Carrie, and I made breakfast.<br />

We had two well drillers from the states come down with Healing Hands. They were able to help drill a well for us at a school for about 800 kids, the great thing about that is our kid supporters paid to have this well drilled! From Refuge, Mountain view, Central Baptist churches VBS fund raising along with a few other children that have supported us. We want to give children a opportunity to give clean water and the living water to kids here in Haiti!<br />

Runk Family in Haitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01908565428506037703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908478162609100566.post-4340927725800130842013-07-30T07:14:00.002-07:002013-07-30T07:14:52.133-07:00July in HaitiPrayer Requests:<br />
Nicky's safety on the compound (being high up on a ladders and roofs)<br />
God's strength for these hot days<br />
For the support to purchase a tow able boom lift and send it down in September<br />
<br />
Praises:<br />
Xander's heat rash has cleared up<br />
It is really hot and by 6pm we are worn out, its 95 to 100 in the house, but we are all healthy<br />
<br />
Teams are a lot of fun and a lot of work. We have a few teams that return year after year, some members are old friends but we also get to meet many new friends. Teams not only come with their own projects in mind but come with the attitude that we are your servants here to help you with whatever is needed at the time. What a blessing!!<br />
<br />
We had 8 Americans here for a wedding. We were just guest housing them but they wanted to help out with what they could. We put them to work driving a tractor, painting, much needed organizing of freezers and pantries (what a blessing, who knows when we would have gotten to it). <br />
<br />
Our teams consist of a wide range of gifts (medical, construction, well drilling and pump repair, VBS, youth sports camps, photography and video production, hair cuts, computer knowledge, mechanics, electrical plumbing, etc.). You have no idea how God might use you to bless others.<br />
We encourage you to be open to what the Lord has gifted you with and not be afraid to use it on the mission field.<br />
<br />
It is great when people get excited about coming on mission trips. We do tell them that our mission has found it more effective if the Haitian people are running the ministries. They are able to reach and disciple more people. There are things that we oversee, (I punch the cards for our gran moun feeding program and Sheryl is the head of the burn clinic) but for the majority we have a Haitian staff that do these ministries out in the community; well drilling and repair, teaching at schools, sewing, cooking schools and youth camps.<br />
<br />
We are praying for more teams that are willing to come and get their hands dirty with all that we have to do behind the scenes here on our compound. It takes a lot to keep what God has blessed us with running. We just got finished guest housing 28 Americans with 4 Haitian staff for their 4 day conference with 180 Haitian youth. The same day they left we had 200 nurses come to use our dorms for three nights. This adds up to 72 Americans in our volunteers Quarters and 470 Haitians thru our conference center in the last 6 weeks. There are 2 or 3 of us families here to take care of the teams, maintenance, airport runs, grocery, and material shopping, etc. Kristie has been doing a lot of baking.<br />
<br />
A typical week here starts out (depends on the arrival and departure dates) with Sunday-going to one of our local churches that our head missionary is preaching (he preaches at a different church each Sunday). These services are usually lots of prayer, praise, and preaching (3-4 hours). We come back to the compound for a nice home-style lunch, then relax time or trip to the mountain so teams can see the mountain life, before bible study at 5pm.<br />
<br />
Monday begins with devotions with our men at the shop, then helping out with our gran moun (elderly) feeding program, lending a hand at the burn clinic or for some just taking a peek inside. The rest of the day holds many opportunities to help on the compound.<br />
<br />
The rest of the week kind of depends on the needs at that time or any emergencies that need to be taken care of. like I said earlier some teams come with specific projects (they prepare months in advance for and bring the necessary supplies) they want to do or some just come to help us do what needs to be done.<br />
<br />
All of us missionaries don't always eat every evening meal with the team. Each family gets a designated night to eat with the team and share their testimonies and how we got to Haiti. The teams really enjoy getting to ask questions and find out how we were called here.<br />
<br />
Nicky and I have come under the couple that started these ministries over the past years (they have found what really works and allows the Haitians to be the main ones doing most of the ministries). We pray that we are able to learn a good amount of what it takes to keep this place and those ministries going.<br />
<br />
Please pray if God would have you get a team together to serve behind the scenes or to help equip us to keep the facilities in great shape as the harsh environment tries to corrode it away. We have been so overwhelmed in the last 9 months we haven't even had time to paint our own house.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Praises:We serve a mighty God that is able to do anything!!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Just Monday there was a little boy in the burn clinic that stopped </span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: large;">breathing. During the next hour of not breathing on his own Nicky was able to lay hands on him and pray as 4 nurses worked for 30 minutes while others on the compound prayed for him also. He came back to life to where Nicky had to hold his legs as he was fighting them, and that's a good thing. He had been coming for burn treatments, finished today's treatment and stopped breathing, alot of pain involved in scraping the wounds to keep scar tissue from building up. A real miracle from the Lord!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Later in the day a tool was lost while drilling 190' in a well the cable broke, the Haitian driller tried fishing for it for 1 hour, Nicky stopped everyone prayed and got it first try!!! God was busy Monday with us. Thank you supporters for your prayers and support allowing us to be used by God here in mighty ways!!!!!!!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Prayer Requests: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For a support team to help us with raising support </span><span style="font-size: large;">For our family- it is hard balancing ministry, school, and family</span><span style="font-size: large;"> time </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Our marriage- it can be really stressful</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Two missionary families leaving this month- losing friends </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> and increased work loads </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For a tow-able boom lift</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Catching you up on the last month</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
It has been weeks since we have blogged. We have been busier with fewer families here in the last 2 months. It was very nice to have 4 and 5 families here for a number of months as some new families were trying out our mission to see if it was a fit. We have been down to 2 families as one family retires leaving 2 families to run ministry's here and one on furlough. We knew this time would come but were enjoying have more families spreading the load out.<br />
<br />
We will try and keep our blog up as we get busier so you can know how to pray and be apart of our ministries. We also haven't had teams for a while but will start up in 2 weeks, every week to every other week. This has given us a great opportunity to get settled in and some more work done on our house. Maybe next year it will get finished painted, as when the day ends the heat has zapped the strength from us.<br />
<br />
North Carolina Baptist men who have been here since the earth quake are leaving the house they are in on our compound the end of the month. One family left Saturday and the other one leaves June 30th. It will be much lonelier here with out them here.<br />
<br />
We have found a English speaking church 1 hour up the road at the beaches allowing us to meet other missionaries, making friends, and worshiping together in English. We can't go every Sunday but when we can, it has been a blessing.<br />
<br />
So many of these thing we do daily most people wouldn't think a missionary would do but how else would the ministries keep running with out all the behind the scenes work keeping them going.<br />

Runk Family in Haitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01908565428506037703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908478162609100566.post-5532516743610638272013-05-08T06:04:00.000-07:002013-05-08T06:04:04.172-07:00<span style="font-size: x-large;"> A day (Monday) in our life here in Haiti</span> <br />
<br />
Mondays you never know what they will bring. Flat tire on our army truck, take it off then send someone to the guy on the side of the street to repair it, much cheaper and quicker for him to fix it with these big split rims wheels.<br />
<br />
By this time Kristie, Xander, & Ellie are ministering to the gran moun (old people) singing and worshiping with them and giving 62 of them provisions for a week. These are old people who don't have anyone to provide for them.<br />
<br />
Next off to the shop where we have 4 vehicles inside not working:<br />
<br />
The 1971 John Deere tractor, our main loader for all construction, loading well drilling supplies and material for pouring pump bases. The oil pump broke and we have to replace it and the bearings on the crankshaft .<br />
<br />
Then the white 1991 Isuzu trooper pouring oil out of the top of the engine so we took it apart to find the seals and gaskets need to be replaced. <br />
<br />
The 1990's mule a dog chewed the wiring on it.<br />
<br />
Glen takes the 1991 dodge transmission out, because it won't go in reverse, to find one of the forks in the transmission broken and have to replace the fork.<br />
<br />
Not pictured a blue 1986 army pickup, military master, with a wheel cylinder broken and needs replaced, and a modulator valve that's not been hooked up since we swapped engines 2 years ago.<br />
<br />
Beside that a giant yellow 1984 gmc power company truck we use for hauling well drilling supplies on well sites, it can be locked up and left on the drilling site, its valve cover gaskets are falling out and pouring oil out. ALL OF THESE HAVE BROKEN DOWN IN THE LAST WEEK.<br />
<br />
By this time Kristie and the kids are at the burn clinic giving the gran moun medicine for head aches, stomach, and other minor things. Then she's off to home school by 10 AM, make lunch and dinner. <br />
<br />
I load our dump truck with sand to take to our guys building a wall by the main road, as they are hand digging footings for the wall. Part of our guys are going to put a new pump on a base they poured Friday so more people in a tent city will have clean water. Our guys share the gospel at each well site dedicating it to Christ and giving opportunity for people to receive Christ or planting seeds letting them know that God provided this water and well for them.<br />
<br />
Then I get with Tim, who over sees the well machine I've been using, about some parts the big compressor needs.<br />
<br />
I find out someone has cut off our faucets where we give free running water everyday, these are beside the main road. One bad person ruins it for those really in need! I get Joel our Haitian mechanic helper to come with me and I weld on a new coupler and get both faucets fixed so the next day the people and animals will have clean water again. We are not going to let one rotten person spoil it for everyone.<br />
<br />
Now its 4:30 pm and since its not rained in weeks I take the old fire truck up and help our workers water their gardens, and I get our kids pulling weeds in ours. 7 pm comes and its supper time, yay, by the way did I say i got up at 2:30 am this morning because I couldn't sleep, great time for a quiet time, then catch up on computer work till 5 when every one else gets up. Yep its another day in Haiti. I thank God I can serve him daily in what ever comes our way!<br />

Runk Family in Haitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01908565428506037703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908478162609100566.post-22513292589147899902013-04-19T06:10:00.001-07:002013-04-19T06:10:39.011-07:00April<span style="font-size: x-large;"> APRIL</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
Well we ended our 2 week crusade and 371 people came forward to accept Christ and receive discipling in the future. This was very exciting to do right before Easter in these tent cities. One new village doesn't have a church with in 3 miles of it in any direction and if they can get land we would like to build a church there as they need one where they can walk to it since no one has cars. There were 16 in this village that received Christ.<br />
<br />
We are still working on our local church here in Titanyen and hope it maybe close to being done around the end of the year, as it is a very large church. The old church sanctuary holds 1000 people and is over flowing every sunday, this building and others on the property will be turned into a seminary to train up new pastors in Haiti, which is very exciting and very needed!<br />
<br />
I spent a few weeks doing maintence on the well machine that I have been able to use. Last week I started back drilling to find water at the new church. I drilled one hole just 50 feet away from a well that gets pumped 24 hours a day by hand and hit no water (295') deep. Wow thought for sure we would hit some. I started a new hole Monday and haven't hit water yet, you can be so close but not in the water. Please keep praying for safety, wisdom and God's discernment on where to drill. (We hit water at 250' Wednesday!!!! This will bless our church, seminary, and 3 different schools on the property!!!)<br />
<br />
Kristie and the kids caught a caterpillar last week and fed it until it made a cocoon then about 14 days later they watched it hatch out, they are learning so much being home schooled here in Haiti, and learning how to pray and watching God answer the prayers in different ways. <br />
<br />
It is starting to get hotter, seems the house is around 96 degrees inside each evening, it wipes you out, and I drink about a gallon of Gatorade a day working in this. We are so blessed to have cold water and Gatorade to drink daily as most of this country has to work so hard just to get a drink of water from a well some where.<br />
<br />
Ellie's been having a hard time reading from a distance of 5' or more (we knew that she would need glasses in the future but the need came sooner than expected) and I knew we needed to take care of this, we prayed and went to a church close to where we thought an eye doctor lives and he was the leader of the church! PTL! We took the 1 hour trip back up the road to see him the next day and got Ellie's exam at their mission and glasses also. So thankful for New Vision ministries help for Ellie. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">CRUSADE TIME</span><br />
<br />
We have an evangelist here for 2 weeks doing crusades and preaching multiple times a day in different tent cities and churches. This week Nicky has been working hard working his normal duties on the compound and having the crusade in the evening wearing him out, but to see over 200 who came to Christ the first week, we keep pressing on. <br />
<br />
We have stopped our well drilling and things that might pull our focus and prayers from the crusade, so we can spread God's word, as we have been working the ground before the evangelist got here in tent cities where we drilled wells. <br />
<br />
The kids have got into a routine with home school now, and that is a blessing. We have seen 3 families in the past 2 months who have left Haiti to get their kids schooling back on track as the mission field especially in Haiti draws the parents to compromise on family priorities and get burned out and kids schooling get behind.<br />
<br />
I want to run this race as a marathon and not sprint ahead and loose focus of what our main goal is in raising our kids. God has allowed it to take 12 years for us to get to Haiti, full time, and in that has shown us how we need to have the prayer support and finical support to not be so over whelmed by many things pulling us away from ministry. <br />
<br />
It is a full time job raising support to do ministry on the field as no one passes the plate for most missionaries each week, its many individuals giving to allow us to do our part in making disciples here. It would be a blessing to have individuals to help us get our support up to 100% by sharing us with others, doing a fund raiser each year, yard sale, car wash, walks for water, water grants, these all add up to Kingdom building and souls saved here, we can only drill wells when we have the funds to do it as is with all our ministries. Please pray and ask God how you may help with this. If your reading this you are probably already doing this because your invested in our lives and ministry. MANY TIMES IT FEELS AS IF WE HAVE HUNDREDS PRAYING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO HELP US. <br />
<br />
We thank you all for your prayers and support!<br />

For two weeks we had a three men here to change an engine on a well machine. Nicky helped them change it and make other needed repairs. They hadn't planned on drilling but finished the repairs on the rig sooner than planned.<br />
<br />
Well drilling for clean water is a big need here in Haiti. The list for those that want a well is long but having people to drill the wells and funding is the problem. This was such a blessing for these guys to be here. They spent time with Nicky showing him how to run the machine, about the formations and problems that could happen and thankfully they had problems for him to learn by while they were here. <br />
<br />
It's great to have a rotary machine to drill with (this machine is faster) along with our cable tool machine (our Haitian crew drills with). In a near by tent city both machines had drilled dry holes, these people were having to walk at least 2 miles either way to get water. Most of the land tent cities occupy are open land on the sides of the mountains with no wells anywhere. <br />
<br />
Nicky tried a 4th well in between the dry holes and hit good water for the community. <br />
Two of the wells are located in a tent city where a crusade will take place starting <br />
Sunday. As we gave them clean water now we can share with them the living water. Please pray for the ground to be prepared as the seeds are sown over the next two weeks as an evangelist comes to share the gospel.<br />
<br />
<br />
PRAYER REQUESTS:<br />
We have an evangelist here doing a week long crusade near on of the recent wells.<br />
For good internet<br />
For our visas<br />
Towable boom lift <br />
<br />
PRAISES:<br />
Nicky started drilling wells after a well driller spent 2 weeks with Nicky teaching him to use a rotary machine they are allowing him to use<br />
Kids are settling into a good routine in school as Kristie teaches them<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
We have had our last week of language classes and now its time to put it into practice and keep learning more words. Kristie has excelled in learning creole. This class gave us a chance to learn the rules of the language how to speak and the sounds.<br />
<br />
We had a chance to go to a prayer luncheon last wed with 16 other ministries and got inspired to pray more specific for our ministries, country and world. Met some ministries like one who has a goal of sending 70 Haitian missionaries out of Haiti by 2017 to french speaking countries, and another ones translating the Bible into creole in a easier to read version and so on. Haiti broilers put the luncheon on and will keep this going every 2 weeks, this company is out of Jamaica and the company has values like Chick-fil-a in the states. They give back a lot to missions and have some great setups for orphanages or ministries or communities to set up coups and sell eggs or broilers at 6 weeks old to help support ministries or individuals. The plant happens to be across the street from our place, well 2 miles away. <br />
<br />
We had a youth conference for the last week giving 200 youth a safe place to learn and worship Christ while the mardigras carnival went on.<br />
<br />
We have a group or well drillers here to repair a rig, put a engine in one and maybe get a few wells drilled in the next couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
We also have 2 teams coming over the next 2 weeks. One is 2 families that have 12 people between them to help out then a team from Virgina the next week to help here on the compound. Our youth camp the Brumleys run here is finishing toilets to go with the youth worship building that was left on site by another disaster relief ministry. 2 guys dug the hole 28 feet deep for it. I think it was 10' wide by 8 feet, one big deep hole. <br />
<br />
For the last month a couple Tom and Rachel Lambert who are praying where the Lord would send them on the mission field have been serving here and will for the next month are a huge blessing everyday with keeping the behind the scenes work done.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Prayer request</span><br />
<br />
For us to keep learning the language<br />
For good Internet<br />
For a towable boom lift to safely work on lights, high painting and church building<br />
For us to take some quality family time here <br />
For more communications in our ministries (phones and Internet don't always work here)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Praises</span><br />
Formal language classes are finished <br />
Had a great youth conference<br />

We have had some busy weeks with teams back to back, one that led a pastors conference and bible school one week and a team last week that worked behind the scenes here fixing many things from computers to hydraulic cylinders on trucks, repaired wells and so on helping us get some much needed things done so our ministries keep going on the front line. We also had a mechanic from another ministry stay a week before he went out for 2 weeks to another location helping us on some vehicle repair. Still have lots of that to do so come on down and help us if you can! <br />
This is such a diverse ministry that we really need all talents that God has given everyone, from accounting to computers to mechanic to plumbing to electricians to well drillers to people just willing to help in between allowing us to share with others and to make disciples in this nation. We finally got our computer we do news letters on fixed by this team and have one coming out soon. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Prayer request<br />
We have a week long youth conference in a week<br />
We have a big crusade we are doing for 2 weeks early in March<br />
Keep praying for us to find the right Internet<br />
For our support to get to 100% we are at 76%<br />
For a tow able boom lift to safely do repair work and church building<br />
To be able to finish our Visas<br />

<p>We had 2 weeks our workers were off and this allowed us to get our porch screened in and fix up with stuff we brought in from the USA and build some counters, shelves for our office/ homeschool room and a table for the dinning room and most of those matelrials were donated PTL. We also had a 2 conferences during this weeks. Didnt seem much like hoilday time but we are thankful to have alot done as January is a busy month with back to back teams conferences, guest housing, well drilling,  church building and mantinece. </p>
<p>We just got a opportunity to take a language class at a compound close by which we thought we never would get the opportunity. It is from 1 to 5 every day for 5 weeks we believe. We spend 2 to 3 hours a day also reveiwing the class work. For anyone that knows Nicky he doesnt enjoy school and would rather be out fixing and working instead of this but is determined to learn the language to give the Lord more opportunity to serve him here. Kristie is doing great in the class like usual. </p>
<p>We had a big fire Sunday and wernt ready for it. We usuallyhave plowed a 30' fire break around our property but just hadnt done it yet this year. So Nicky got on the tractor and started plowing infront of the fire and the smoke was so bad u couldnt see him but he was determined to keep it from burning the compound the tractor have 5 plows behind it and after many trips. Back and forth with fire jumping up to 200 yards. The old fire truck that was donated helped put out the hot spots and keep another fire on the lower side of the property away. Chris Brumley run many loads keeping that fire away and then we put out the last of the hot spots and only lost 15 acres to the fire that burned over 1000 acres in a few hours. People burn off there farm plots and it gets out of control and some try to burn off the evil spirits also. </p>
<p>Also we have been inidated with so many crickets jumping into the house when we open the door. Its a daily chore cleaning up the crickets that have been smushed. </p>
<p>No picture this time as we have no internet that works right now and we used our phone for this.</p>

Friday I called a crane service and found the best price and did, a friend had recommended them. I had to go pay them Friday before they would come Monday. Nicky spent from 11 am till 4 pm looking for the business and never found it and called for directions and no one would ever answer. Called them Sunday and they said they would send it and we could write a check. The crane got there by 10:30 and a semi truck came to move it into place, when the trailer they were hauling unhooked to hook up ours the trailer collapsed to the ground. They moved our container into place and the big crane was scared to lift the empty container off the chassis, the cranes winch wasn't working right. So I called the company and told the the driver wouldn't lift it off he told them to come back and get another crane and be come back, they didn't make it back. Mean while the container that fell the owners worked all day trying to jack it up to put it on the truck but never could. Crane came back Tuesday and lifted ours off and slowly into place and the semi pulled the chassis out of the way and parked the truck on a hill and walked away. I went to show them where to park the chassis and the tractor and chassis start rolling away fast but no ones in it so I run and jump in it and found the brake and got it stopped. Equipment is wore out in the USA then shipped to Haiti instead of being sold for scrap metal evidently. We then set 20 24' trusses on the church we are helping the community to build. It was the same price to rent the crane for 1 hour or all day. </i><br />
<em>We've spent a lot of the rest of the week putting stuff together and sorting out what goes where and loading extra into the container for storage and getting tools straightened out in the shop.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>We got a call Thursday that customs is charging almost 100% for our UTV and trailer. We can't pay that kind of money and wont. We are asking everyone to pray God will move and reduce this to a acceptable amount so we can use these tools for work on the compound and well ministry as Nicky's work vehicle.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Saturday morning Nicky lifted the doors for the youth worship building, huge metal doors. We have our first activities Christmas eve from 2pm till 6 AM Christmas day with a big meal at midnight and the youth dress up for that. Exciting for them to have this place to be blessed and hear the Gospel at. These youth are from the local churches. The youth program is called Camp Barnabas here at Global Outreach Haiti. </em><br />

We have been so blessed by all the prayers that have helped to get our container out of customs in record time. It was all God, it was only in customs for 11 days, a friend of ours has one thats been in customs since July. We are still praying for our UTV and trailer to get out of customs. <br />
<br />
We are having trouble with getting internet that will work here. We are using our phone for most of what we do here. Pray we find the right company as they all promise their company will work where we live.<br />
Our church in TiTanyen Sunday school teachers came over yesterday for a get together and boy could they sing so beautifully.
Our schools are running well and thru our child sponsorship program alot of the kids are sponsored thanks to Becky Ivy in KY who takes care of this from home. Wow how much difference one person can make here even from the states. <br />

We have been here for 3 weeks now and I have to praise God for us being here. We feel an awesome peace about being here, like God has been preparing us for our new home. All of us are settling in really well. Nicky goes to work at 7am and comes home for lunch. The kids and I are getting back into our routines of school and chores. The adjustment to the heat isn't as bad as I thought it would be, we have been blessed with mid to upper 80's the last few days.<br />
<br />
Please pray for the kids as they are passing some kind of cold/cough/fever back and forth (Ellie one day then Xander the next). This has been going on for a little over a week.<br />
<br />
We have been painting the last few days hoping to get it done before our container gets here. We hear that it has made it to St. Marc, (although the company we shipped it through can't say if it is here or not), so now the waiting really begins to see how long it will take to get out of customs. We have given all to the Lord, because he could have it out tomorrow of it is his will. The other missionaries here had our home all set up so we could move in. It has been great being "HOME".<br />

Today at lunch Nicky told me that a woman at the gate was trying to give her little, maybe newborn, baby to them.). Could you imagine the hopelessness you would have to feel to give up your baby?<br />
We actually found out later that this woman's daughter died in childbirth, so she is taking care of all her other kids too.<br />

Runk Family in Haitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01908565428506037703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908478162609100566.post-14380812914737116352012-10-28T18:32:00.001-07:002012-10-28T19:06:11.698-07:00Getting Our Container To Florida<br />
It has been an exhausting and exciting past few days. Wednesday, October 24th we had a truck and crane come to SC to load up our container. Then we finished packing the UTV on the trailer and headed out for our 2 week trip to Florida and Mississippi. Our plan was to drive straight to Port of Palm, Praise the Lord we only needed to make one stop to an auto parts store for needed repairs and parts (an exhaust leak and change a trailer tire).<br />
<br />
Nicky decided we needed to drive all night to get there by 6AM. We slept in the van for 1 1/2 hour before we had to meet up with our container to unload it at 8AM. It took a couple of hours in line to get our paper work done. It was kind of scary leaving all of our possessions like this but we trust it's in God's hands. <br />
<br />
We stayed in south FL for a few days then headed to visit family in St Augustine for a couple of nights and going to Turning Point at Calvary church Sunday. <br />
<br />
We have been praying for ways for us to have fun family time while traveling and the Lord blessed us with friends who have given us free tickets to the Disney Parks for the day. Xander and Ellie have never been and it has been 23 yrs since Nicky and I have been. This is going to be a treat for the kids to do something special as we drag them around constantly in this life we are living. <br />
<br />
Please pray for our traveling schedule:<br />
<br />
Tuesday head toward Mississippi<br />
Missions Conference Thurs - Sat.<br />
Sat. Headed back to Hendersonville for last Service at FBC Sunday<br />
Go to SC Monday night <br />
Go to last service at Northside in Laurens Wed. night<br />
Pack for Haiti<br />
Friday head to Atlanta so we can leave for Haiti Sat morning<br />
<br />

This gives a few things to pray for! Thank you for being a part of what God is doing thru our family!</div>

We bought our plane tickets to move to Haiti (Nov. 10th)<br />
<br />
<br />
Prayer Requests: For our family (This is a very stressful time)<br />
For the Lord to send the right trucker, shipper and receiver for our container<br />
For the Lord to provide us with a towable boom lift 50' Pray for us to get the right crane to lift the container onto the right truck to take it to the right port to have the right receiver to get it thru customs and to our property in Haiti and a crane to unload it on our compound. Also we have a trailer and a UTV we are sending and have to get thru customs.<br />
<br />
<br />
I never thought the day would come when we actually had a date to move to Haiti. Well now we have it and I am overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, and all those other emotions us women get.<br />
<br />
We are leaving on November 10th. That is just a little over a month away. (THAT IS ONLY A MONTH AWAY!!!!) Please pray for my sanity. The Lord knows this is the right time, but I have been praying for this for a long time and now that it is here I am praying for more time. There is so much to be done on our end, mainly getting all the things we will need to take with us on the plane.<br />
<br />
We speak in Danville KY next Wed night. So we have about 10 days to get everything done before we leave to take stuff to Florida, then we go to Mississippi for our missions conference and back to Hendersonville Nov 4th then to SC and gone to Atlanta the 9th.<br />
<br />
We will shut the doors on the container Thursday the Oct 11th. At first we thought how are we going to fill this thing up now we are praying for wisdom on deciding what to squeeze in there. It filled up faster than we thought. Nicky has spent hours packing the container trying to use every square inch. Like a big puzzle it is exhausting.<br />
<br />
Thank everyone for your prayers and support. We couldn't do any of this without it. People praying for us is what is helping and encouraging us make it through the day.Runk Family in Haitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01908565428506037703noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908478162609100566.post-55770733129495203182012-08-15T10:32:00.001-07:002012-08-15T10:34:54.364-07:00Great week with our first team in Haiti<span style="font-size: large;">Prayer request!</span><br />
Pray that we find the right people to ship our container with and the right people in Haiti to recieve it out of customs. This is a big deal. But God can provide the right expereinced ones to do this and not be taken advantage of. <br />
<br />
Pray for Xander, Ellie and our marriage that we would take time with each other and not just rush thru and miss time together as we spend 16 hours a day, most days working on ministry.<br />
<br />
Pray that we can ship our container in September and move full time in October to Haiti.<br />
<br />
Pray for donations to come in this month of items to ship to Haiti in Sept.<br />
<br />
Pray for our monthly support to be close to 100% before we go allowing us to get items to put in container and send.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Praises</span><br />
We are at 67% monthly support coming in<br />
<br />
More tools donated and in container<br />
<br />
Meeting new people helping us in the ministry<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Nicky lead a team of 5 guys from FBC Hendersonville to haiti last week. They had a very productive week. The Global Outreach ministries require lots of maintenance. The team was willing to whatever was needed. They helped mix and pour concrete by hand, repair well pumps, paint, did electrical wiring, change bulbs on our security lights, spend time with youth at a Saturday camp, and finish a metal building.<br />
<br />
We are getting closer to moving to Haiti full-time, (still do not have an exact date, but are realizing how much stuff needs to be done before we actually move. (get supplies, (just about everything that we would need for the next 2 years, furniture, appliances, etc.), pack and ship container, and raise support all while trying to be a family.) <br />
<br />
We praise the Lord for all who have and still are supporting us monthly and the ones who have given one time gifts. We pray daily that the Lord will bring supporters to us, not just so we can go but so that we can stay and be effective in furthering His Kingdom.<br />
<br />
Here is the list we have put together of items we are praying get donated. If you have or know of someone who may have these items please email <a href="mailto:nrunk16@gmail.com">nrunk16@gmail.com</a> or call 828-699-8542<br />

<br />
The past few weeks have been non-stop. I know that doesn't surprise anyone who knows us really well. To tell the truth I have told God several times that I am done doing this! I just want to go back to our "normal" lives. Of course that is not good enough for God!<br />
<br />
Revealling himself through different avenues like my personal quiet time, bible study, songs on the radio, or friends with encourageing words, God has showed me that I wouldn't be happy with our old "normal" life. It may be easier, although God allows me to remember how draining it was to have too much of a routine, actually a rut.<br />
<br />
What I was reading in my bible study this morning spoke volumes to me, of course God knew I needed to hear that. Am I willing to trust God's timing in revealing His plans for me? Am I trying to place time constraints on God? <br />
<br />
I am only human but I do have God's grace and mercy! Praise God!! He continues to gently remind me, daily, that His timing is perfect. As Nicky says this process is a marathon.<br />
<br />
We are over 60% supported right now and yes we could go and live in Haiti, but that would only be a temporary fix. We are in this for the long haul. We see what awesome things God is doing through the other missionaries at Global Outreach Haiti Mission and we want to see it continue for many more years. The hard work and tears that have been poured out over the Haitian people is not something to take lightly. We want to give God our best!<br />
<br />
As hard as it is to not to have a steady place to call home, God has us in a place where we are getting to know our supporters more and enlisting their help in raising support. We are only two people with limited relationships. Imagine our friends telling their friends about this great work God is doing in Haiti, they can reach so many more people than we ever could.<br />
<br />
In God's perfect timing, he has given us a container to ship our things to haiti. We have sent out a list of needed items in our most recent newsletter, I am also posting it below. We have already gotten a gas stove donated from friends that work at Electrolux in fletcher and many thousands of dollars worth of tools from friends that aren't using them anymore.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, actually most of the time, I think God needs to hurry up and get us to Haiti because there is so much to do and we are needed so badly. Does he not understand that we are giving up so much to follow his call? We could be touching and helping so many more people in Haiti than here in the US! Then God reminds me that He will take care of things, that I don't need to worry and that maybe we are supposed to be touching and reaching out to those in the America, helping them realize how blessed we are here! To help them reach out to those who need help wether it is in another country or here in their own community.<br />

<br />
We have had a big week since our last post. We got our homes rented! Praise the Lord! That was all God. This will allow us to help support ourselves while in Haiti. The Lord gave us a "heads up" while on our first 3 month trip to Haiti 10 years ago. We knew we would need support when we went full-time, now its here and he is providing. <br />
<br />
We had a great time at our Chick-fil-A spirit night (Monday June 4th). So many friends and family came out to show their support. Thank you to everyone who came! We had a an awesome turn out. I don't think I've ever talked so much in one evening. We also had a few people who made monthly support commitments. PTL!!!<br />
<br />
We don't ever sit still for too long. Tuesday morning we headed to Atlanta to visit and share with family and go to Chick-fil-A headquarters. We were hoping to see Mr. Cathy but it didn't work out. We did get to share with a few people at the headquarters there in Atlanta.We had lots of fun seeing all that goes on there and of course eating all and as much as we wanted and unlimited deserts, wow! It's a good thing they have a gym they encourage there employees to use.<br />
<br />
Being in Haiti seeing so many struggle to stay alive because they don't have the simplest necessities like food and clean water, it's hard to imagine a business with so many benefits and the way they take care of their employees. This shows how a Godly business, run on biblical principles, compared to Haiti, being dedicated to Satan for 208 years and how satan can erode and deceive. <br />
<br />
We are pressing on toward the goal of being in Haiti full-time. We are raising our full time support one person at a time. Please pray for us right now and share with friends and family about us. <br />
<br />
Our next next newsletter is coming out soon. We will be including a list of items that would be helpful to ship to Haiti. If you have or know someone that might have these items sitting in their garage or basement not getting used please let us know. Email - <a href="mailto:nrunk16@gmail.com">nrunk16@gmail.com</a> or cell # 828-699-8542.<br />
<br />
We will only be able to get to Haiti full-time with your help! This is not a two person job, we need help! We, I more so than Nicky, are having a hard time just getting the simplest, daily things accomplished much less all the extra missionary things we have to do like blogs, newsletters, thank yous, making appointments, laundry, moving from place to place etc.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The Lord has provided this container after much prayer. We weren't sure how God wanted us to ship our things to Haiti. Now it is up to Him to provide a way of getting it to Haiti and through customs. That seems like a huge task but God will provide. He has gotten us this far, what a blessing!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes, really most of the time, it is hard to just obey. We procrastinate and say its too hard but God has called us to Haiti and He will get us there. We just have to be patient and trust in his timing!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We still have lots to do before we get to Haiti but God is in control!</span><br />

Runk Family in Haitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01908565428506037703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908478162609100566.post-38428835924732479712012-05-08T02:54:00.000-07:002012-05-08T02:57:53.015-07:00God has perfect timing!These past few weeks have been a combination of amazing and chaotic all at the same time. The Lord is definitely working in our lives. Truthfully this is really scary. The scary moments that overtake me are coming more frequently and the times that I see God in control are too far in between.<br />
<br />
We have no doubt that God has called us to be in Haiti full-time and we are okay with that, its all the details that I have problems not worrying about. We are praying that we will return in July full-time but it is already May and still so much is to be done.<br />
<br />
Then my mind starts gravitating to thoughts of "what are we thinking?" and "there is no way I am going to be happy living in Haiti, what about the comforts I am used to" (hot water, air conditioning, Wal-mart and Ingles just down the road).<br />
<br />
Part of my bible study lesson this week is about anticipating the voice of God. As Christians we are to anticipate hearing from God. Honestly most of my prayer/quiet time is spent voicing my concerns, complaints, and all the stuff "I'm" not happy with. I hardly ever take the time to just sit quietly and wait for God to answer. So of course God has convicted me once again, and most likely it won't be the last, about trusting and having faith in Him. Do I truly have faith that God will do what He says He will do?<br />
<br />
When I really sit, quietly, and think about that question the answer is no. I still think that I have to do things on my own. Again, God askes why not? Do you still not think I love you enough and care about you enough that I will handle all the details of your life. I just need to let Him and say "I believe, but help my unbelief". (Matthew 6:25-34- about not worrying)<br />
<br />
The only thing God is telling us to do right now is to obey. What we feel God want's us to do is just let people know about what He has called us to do, then He will work on their hearts. We need monthly supporters, that's the bottom line. We won't get them unless we give people the chance to be a part of the amazing things God is doing in Haiti. Please consider being a part of our ministry.<br />
<br />
We have had great and wonderful praises this week. First we gained 10% in our monthly support, then God brought an awesome couple to us to rent our house. Praise the Lord!!<br />
<br />
Our prayer for this month is that we can contact or meet with those that have told us they want to support us and /or have made one time donations in the past, and see if we can count on them for monthly support. We know God can raise our monthly support by 20%.<br />

We have and still are being welcomed back by so many of our friends and family. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"> We have to say it is good to be back in the states but Haiti is our home now. God has given us such a passion for reclaiming Haiti for Christ that it was hard to leave. We were able to be a part of three conferences, these were the first since the earthquake 2 yrs ago. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"> The most frequently asked question is when are we going back. The answer to that is totally up to when we have our monthly support, close to 100%. It feels like we have hundreds of people praying for someone else to support us not realizing they are the ones who know us. It's rare to be supported by people who don't know us. </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">We have some giving $5 up to $300 a month, this all add's up. We are at 33% of our monthly support coming in now, this is helping us to be able to purchase tools, furnishings supplies and other items and have them shipped to Haiti.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Moving from this blessed country to a fifth world country, the poorest in the western hemisphere, is not a easy thing to do or commit our lives to help and share Christ love with these people and give up the comforts of our home. No play land at chick-fil-a or playground for the kids at all. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"> We are back to give others an opportunity to partner with us help train 3000 pastors and leaders in Haiti each year so they can reach even more Haitians than we could. Providing this compound and conference center is a blessing among the other ministries we are doing there.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"> The only thing holding us back from moving to Haiti full time is our support. We need people to partner with us monthly! We don't want to put a limit on God but we are praying that He will have us returning in July full time.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"> Please be in pray for us. We are in such a blur. In the last week have spoken in 2 Bible Fellowship Groups and spoken to all 3 Awana groups and an evening service. Praise the Lord! But in addition to this we have been trying to get receipts from the last three months turned in, thank you notes written, and other paperwork done.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">We are in a limbo mode right now, partly here, and partly there, just trying to find where I packed the socks is overwhelming.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Pastor Ryan spoke about serving like Jesus. What an encouragement we got. We don't always know why or what God is doing exactly but we know the ultimate goal and the reason for what we are doing. We just have to be faithful on this long journey.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We thank ya'll for your continued prayers and support. We would not be able to obey God's call if it weren't for people like you.</span>Runk Family in Haitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01908565428506037703noreply@blogger.com0
