Hi Everyone,

There were 21 at Cindy's on Saturday for Thanksgiving.  I did the turkey, stuffing, gravy, green bean casserole.  We also had other vegetables, rice and beans, goat meat in sauce, onion tart (pie), homemade rolls, cranberry layered salad.  We had a Haitian apple pie and pecan pie and a birthday cake for one of the kids.  It was delicious and fun. We had a time of sharing and songs in Creole which especially encouraged my heart

Then Sunday our morning service was the end of 2 weeks of evangelistic conference.  We had two different choirs 5 special numbers.  The church was packed to overflowing and a number went forward for salvation.  The special speaker was excellent.  A normal comment here if asked if someone is saved is "my father was saved (converted), my mother was saved and I grew up in the church and I'm saved".  The speaker pointed out that God doesn't have grandchildren He has children.  Just because you are raised by Christian parents doesn't mean you are saved - it is a personal decision you must make.  He also reminded us that it isn't about being "religious" but about a "relationship" with Jesus Christ.  It was very well done.

Hi everyone,

First of all, I want to thank all who prayed about the need of the Risograph machine for the Extension Bible School department.  Thanks to 3 special gifts we were able to purchase a brand new machine in country and it is already up and running.  PRAISE THE LORD!  The material produced by this machine for the program is not only used within our own churches but other organizations use it for leadership training in their churches.  Just last Friday we had 5 men at our dinner table who were here to see the program and materials to incorporate their use in their churches.  This program was a dream of David’s dad for localized leadership training and many have had their hands in bringing it to fruition.
