FW: Prayer and Praises June 3, 2010

---

Hello from Haiti:

Monday was the last day of school for this term.  It was a fun day.  We will have a small summer school.  Of course, school lunches will continue all summer.  Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!

We had a simple little graduation for our Adult Literacy class.  These are adults who never had a chance to go to school.  They have learned to read in Creole.  Each graduate will receive a Creole Bible.  Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!

We have our own transformer up on a pole.  Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!  It will be connected soon to EDH - goverment electricity.  We had been sharing a neighbor's transformer.  This was difficult because we moved when we lost our building and the lines were too long.  The school needs it's own transformer.

We lost most of the furniture for the orphanage in the earthquake.  The group from World Mission built cabinets for the children to keep their clothes in.  The group this week from CLF finished painting them and the children are using them.  They sure keep the rooms much neater!!!  Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!

First Baptist Church in Jacksonville

sent funding and a couple men to build a housefor Mr. Renal, the old man who sweeps my yard.  Some Virginia folks joined them to build a nice 2 room house.  Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!

Please keep the construction projects in prayer.  We want everyone to stay safe while we build the back wing.  The men are finishing my little apartment.  Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!

Please pray for a home for the orphanage.  A school is not a home.  I am still praying for the empty lot behind the school.  May God's will be done.

Please continue to pray for Jared & Amanda, and Amy as they prepare to come full time.  Please pray for Emily and Ross who will keep my children while I am away.

We still need teachers to come work alongside the Haitian teachers.  For these children to succeed, they need both American and Haitian teachers.  Is God calling you to a school year in Haiti?

 God bless you,

Sherrie
