Prayer and Praises June 10, 2010




Hello from Haiti:

We have solar panels!!!!!  Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!  No more electricity problems!!!!  First Southern Baptist Church in Liberal, Kansas bought everything for solar panels and shipped it to Haiti.  They came Sunday to install everything. 
We were concerned about it arriving on tine but it came out of customs on TuesdayPraise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!

The electricians are also wiring the first wing and putting up ceiling fans in the classrooms and apartments.  Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!  This will make everyone much more comfortable as no one has air conditioning here. 

Steve and his crew poured the concrete beams on the back wing.  Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!  The carpenter is putting up wood to pour the deck.


Summer school
has begun.  The 7th grade boys have class each day to finish math and science.  The orphanage children will be doing extra math books in English.  They asked for summer school and cheered when I found the math books.  Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a simple celebration for our Adult Literacy graduates this year.  I don't know if we still have graduation gowns or not, but we have some wonderful graduates.  Each graduate receives a Creole Bible - and now they can all read!!! Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Please continue to keep Haiti in prayer.  Driving around we see many buildings being demolished by men with sledge hammers.  These were schools & businesses & homes.
We also see crews of people working on roads & bridges, etc. so progress is being made.  Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be flying to the USA on WednesdayPlease keep my travels in prayer.  I will be on the road from place to place a lot. 

God bless you,
Sherrie

Hi
I read about your school and heart for Haiti in the Sun Sentinal today. You definitely have a heart for the people of Haiti.
I am a nurse who goes to Hinche Haiti 3-4 times a year for medical clinics. I have a friend who has a schoolin Hinche, and have been trying to find an organization to help him get a meal to his students every now and again. My sister and I paid for the expense of this in the summer while he hosted a "bible camp" for the kids. WE cannot do this long term and any contacts you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Becky
