Update from Haiti

Greetings to you all. We have had a busy week on the NVM compound here in Haiti and we want to bring you up to date.

English Camp
For 3 weeks in July we conducted an English camp for 70 Haitian young people. The interns, led by Chris Bosma, did a wonderful job. The kids were not only learning English but also more about the Lord during the camp. Here are some shots of the graduation ceremony.

Pastor’s Conference
This past Saturday I conducted our monthly pastor’s conference. Each month we have approximately 65 pastors join us for a morning of worship, fellowship and learning from God’s word. We also serve them a hot breakfast at each session. This month we looked at lessons from the life of Jonah. We had a great time.

A Mass Wedding
Yesterday on Sunday afternoon, we were privileged to experience a very unusual event at the Onaville church. 40 couples were married at the same ceremony. It was spectacular. And 1500 of their family and friends showed up to help them celebrate. I had the great honor of giving the talk to the brides and grooms. The event went on for 3 hours but we would not have missed it for anything. Here are some of the sights.

Off to Dallas
We will be in Dallas for the month of August visiting with family and friends and raising some additional financial support for our ministry in Haiti. Thank you for your prayers and we will keep you posted.  We would also like to hear from you.
