This
summer seems to have just rushed by us.
We were very blessed to have lots of family time this summer. We enjoyed weekly trips to the water park as
well as a short trip to Arkansas for a niece’s wedding. We feel very blessed
that we can work together and set our schedule to spend lots of time with our
children.
This summer at Haiti Care we spent a great
deal of time doing inventory and organizing the items we have on hand. We are very pleased to see the balance of
items we have for upcoming trips, but are ready for more items to come in. We are always amazed at how God refills our
shelves after each trip. It is a
wonderful thing that we can never out give God.
He is constantly replenishing the inventory through new sewing groups
and more deliveries.
Another summer project for us was to
recreate a set of teaching manuals for a chapel/Bible program in Haiti. Our friend, Bev Brumbley, who created the
Bible program asked us to “fix” these manuals during our last trip, but they
were quite worn out and they need more than just a “fix up”. They needed a facelift. (It is important to note that the original
manuals were printed in 1982 and have been all over the countryside of Haiti in
the backpacks of the traveling teachers.)
With the help of the computer and a friend
who did all the translation work, it was a creative journey to recreate these
manuals. As a teacher, who lives in a
country of abundant resources, it was important to me that these Bible teachers
have what they need to spread the Gospel to their students. The project is not quite complete but we are
in the final editing stages. When the
editing is complete, we will create the final copies with the gift of resources
from New Life Church. We look forward to
delivering the books to Haiti during our November trip.
Our final work of the summer is the
planning of our trips for the fall season.
Lance will be traveling to Haiti in October and we will be making a
week-long trip in November. If you have
items you would like us to bring to Haiti, please plan to have them shipped to
us by the end of September to allow time for packing. Thank you for your faithful support of Haiti
Care Mission.
