Crusade Time

                                                CRUSADE TIME

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.

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.

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.

 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.

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.

We thank you all for your prayers and support!

                                    Look who else is reaching out to people, but they don't have the truth! Have you shared Christ's love with someone today?  Others are out there sharing love but it doesn't lead to Heaven! This is a tarp on a tent by one of the wells we drilled 2 weeks ago.

This is at a Croatian orphanage where we drilled a well, they had 3 hand dug wells with the water in them at the surface of the ground, also 3 septic systems right by the wells like in the picture behind here polluting the wells, resulting in many sick.

This is becoming Xander and his Haitian friends past time when they have free time. Chicken hunting, (they catch them alive) this chicken went to one of our workers. We have a flock of chickens running around on the compound that will not leave so the kids are slowly helping out, but they multiply quickly, at least our workers are enjoying feeding their families with them.
