Another outbreak of cholera has swept ove rain-ravaged parts of sotuhern Haiti. OPne of our local pastors there wrote this week to tell me he had been spending alot of time in the hospital with people who were suffering from cholera, and he requested we remember them in prayer.
Although cholera is preventable and treatable, Haiti continues to be hounded by this disease due to a lack of education, and at some levels, funding, for its treatment.
Join me in prayer for Haiti...

I'm home ...and happy!
Back after a week in Haiti of incredible opportunity and blessing! I've been home three days now and am still piecing together all of the ongoing challenges for our ministry there.
It was hot and humid. The ravages of Hurricane Sandy were particularly evident as we headed southeast of Port au Prince to La Cayes. A pastor there shared how his home had been washed away and he and his four children were now living in one room because they had no place to go. We were forced to cross a river that had swept over a road and we literally were driving through several feet of water, some of it washing into our car.
It was more than we expected in terms of participation, so that presented special challenges in scheduling and feeding the nearly four hundred pastors in two locations. Their excitement and appreciation made every inconvenience pale in comparison to the blessing of studying the Word.
One pastor wrote, "We thank God so much for these seminars. We never went to a Bible school, and we answer the call to preach and to lead churches. With those seminars,we feel we are in school and we learn so much. Great privilege".

Teaching and Training Pastors in Haiti, November 3-10
Logan and I leave Saturday for a week of teaching and training pastors in Haiti. Needless to say, we are excited and energized by this God-given opportunity to serve our fellow Haitian pastors.
Would you join us in prayer that god will help us to teach His Word clearly and that we would be an encouragement to these pastors as they faithfully serve God?
Hurricane Sandy has left its damaging imprint on a country already steeped in pain and suffering. we bring the Word of Hope and the love of Christ...and your standing with us in prayer makes this ministry possible!
