The Children Come to Visit

      Many of the children consider me as their grandfather.  The 2 small children are John's children.  John died several months after the earthquake in 2010.  His children enjoy spending the day with me.

A large plate of rice is served to these hard playing youngsters.

An Invitation to a Convention

      I was recently invited to preach at a annual convention in a remote community.  A former Bible School student has invited me to participate at their convention for several years but there was always something that came up that I couldn't go.  This year I didn't allow anything to disrupt our plans.  It was several days filled with activities. 

     Three new converts were baptized during the convention.  The river was almost dried up but the people made a water hole to celebrate the baptism.

    There were 2 children dedicated to the Lord.  Pray for these families as they raise their children for Jesus.

My Followers


Everywhere I go in Haiti I have little followers.  The children like to receive a little attention.  I enjoy having them around.  They stay with me until it is dark and then they have to go home.  Often they ask if they can stay.

A Missions Trip to Acadien



 The missions team sings for the congregation.  This is the second time the team went out on a missions trip this summer.  There were 5 people that accepted Christ as their Savior. 
 
 We had to stop and get a tire fixed.  We didn't have another spare.  It is good that we got it fixed because we had another flat before we got back home.













Several of the boys waiting on the tire man to finish fixing the tire.  You can see the equipment they use to change a tire.   




Taking a break.
