CONFERENCE TIME AGAIN

    We had our first conference since the earthquake 2 years ago (Jan 12, 2010). What a great blessing to all. Close to 90 pastors and ministers from different churches came for the 3 day conference. Tom from Danville KY lead 1/3 of the teaching, pastor Kelly from our church in TiTanyen did 1/3 and pastor Carl lead the last 1/3 of a John Maxwell equip leadership training. This team was in the middle of a conference when the earthquake hit, so it was fitting for them to be the first group back. The Haitians have already planed next years conference with this team getting 2 pastors from each of 50 churches to be trained with this leadership material to take back so they can train their church staff. We have conferences scheduled through out the year. This is discipleship at its best. 

This is a blessing to have our conferences up and going again!

                                                  3 Days and nights of conferences.

Xander and Ellie helped out in VBS at one of the schools a team sponsors here. Tom, that put on the conference, his sisters came and did VBS

Xander and Ellie had to help the school kids color their crafts.  The kids weren't sure what to do with the crayons.

          Another dress given to a young girl, picture above Ellie's wearing one of them too!

          We also guest housed 3 teams for other missions while they were in Port heading out to the northwest Haiti. One of these worked in Port showing the Hope movie.  They brought back packs that included everything to show the Jesus film and the Hope movie in creole. The backpacks included a solar panel that powered speakers, projector and microphone.  This team was from the group who made the Hope movie and are translating it into many different languages around the world. The other 2 guys were with the Jesus Film Harvest Ministry that shows these films millions of times around the world. Some of the head guys have been showing these for over 20 years, I took video of them sharing why and how they show the movie like they do. It was great learning from these guys so we will be more effective in our ministry here showing these films. These guys also gave me a number of resources for sharing Christ with people, so excited to show you when we come back to the states.

Went to show the Hope movie at Double Harvest with this team, all that is needed to show the movie is in one of these back packs. Technology has come a long ways from a loud generator, drop cords, big speakers, big projector, DVD player and screen. This would be a good investment one day, these were promised to another mission, but great to know this is out there!

We were setting up at Double Harvest in the dark.

 Xander cleaning the pool, we all have lots to do! This was a great blessing donated a few years ago so the kids on the compound would have something fun to do since they don't leave the compound much.

  Also we got our first basketball goal up on the basketball court. They had just finished the court right before the earth quake hit then it got turned into a helicopter landing pad while Samaritans Purse were here. This will be a blessing to many youth in the future. We will be taking the hanger down and putting it back up over our grease pit.

This is how most travel here,

BIG BLESSING

God provided us with a 2009 Ford Everest, for a great savings here. Its just like an Explorer with 3 rows of seats with a 2.5 diesel motor. This is a place you can't safely buy used cars unless they come from another mission, that ministry just upgraded cars so this blessed us! 3 of the 4 times we went to Port we had loss brakes, dead battery, broke water line, starter died and had to be towed home. This truly is another blessing from GOD!  Thank you to all that are partnering with us.

It was a long week some mornings up at 4AM to get things done, 5AM to cook for teams each day, and back to our room at 8 to 9pm. Thank you for your prayers!

BLESSINGS

God provided a great conference disciplining 88 pastors and ministers!

GOD provided a family car for us at a great price!
