Our website is a great place for staying up to date on our ministry in Haiti. heck it out at www.leadconnect.org/Haiti. Our trip May 11-19 was a wonderful success with 410 pastors participating in Port au Prince and Cayes. It was exciting to share the textbooks printed in French purchased by many of our supporters for the pastors, enabling their further study. New Testament Survey is an important class and I was assisted by my pastor friend, Steve Wilhite, in teaching the first part of a two part class. We will return in November to complete the second half.
Our goal is to provide a curriculum that will help equip these pastors and church leaders to clearly teach the Word of God to their people. We are seeing it happen right before our eyes as pastors testify to us about how they are able to use these materials to better teach their congregations. It feels like we really are in this small part of the world fulfilling our goal to encourage kingdom leaders.

Partner with a Pastor
Over 500 pastors are enlisted in our work in Haiti. Whether participating in our pastoral training institute or a small group, they are committed to preparation for the vital job of shepherding their flocks. Our motto--"EnCouraging Kingdom Leaders Worldwide"--continues to motivate us to assess the quality of what we are doing with a growing quantity of pastors!
$120 a year, or, $10 a month, will help pay for one pastor's participation annually in our pastoral training program. This provides for his study materials and meals at four semianrs as well as enrollment in our diploma program for the three year curriculum. This covers, as well, the a part of the cost of teachers' travel to hold the teaching classes and seminars, as well as some administrative expenses in organizjng these at two locations in both Port au Prince and Les Caye.
If you would like to support a pastor in his training, you are invited to "Partner with a Pastor". Our goal is to sponsor 500 pastors in the enxt two months. Why not rpayerfully consider this as a part of your year-end givinmg as well as commitment to reaching the people of Haiti. You can contact me at daleabarrett@gmail.com or www.leadconnect.org/Haiti.

Prayer request for La Cayes...
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.

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!
