These are the days of Elijah!
Sunday, March 1, 2015
Praising
the Lord for these children and parents who have been with me for almost 3
years, and now are part of the Bible School. Also, praising our Lord for the
opportunity to share in His vineyard.
Today we had a great [time]
at our Bible School. It would surprise many to learn that Sunday morning is not
necessarily a big church time [for Christians]; some [Christians] do have
services during the night whereas most morning services are Catholic or Haitian.
I do belong to a small Baptist church which meets for two hours in the morning,
so that leaves me with the rest of day to work with my youths.
"Some folks get water once or twice per month
but do not have the capacity to store it."
The children like to present pantomime based
on popular CDs, and also teaching a few in English as well such as "The
Days of Elijah, and Am Trading my Sorrow"
I
got a small booklet which I am using and help has been promised by Family of
God, pastor Nolasco and Congregation to provide Sunday School materials,
beginning in April.
My
main assistant has been diagnosed with Sickle Cell anemia and has had, for the
past two months, serious crises rendering her unable to return.
Many of the parents do not work,
as a matter of fact, these folks do not have running water and we are hoping to
build water cistern and well where possible.
Some
folks get water once or twice per month but do not have the capacity to store
it. A Cistern would give them enough water to last for at least the two weeks
and if that should go dry, they would be able to purchase water from the truck.
Food
and water are two of the basic things that support life. In the developed world
these are not things people ponder, but here it’s a daily consideration. As a
result, many families do not send their children to school, here lies the cycle
of the problem.
There
are many other challenges but the Lord works on them one at a time. Thank
you for praying and your love and support
Your
brother in the field,
