Last week, we had the privilege of having a Christian family musical group, The Taubles, with us for an afternoon. They traveled around the Port-Au-Prince area teaching lessons in stringed instruments and giving concerts. We do not have any stringed instruments in Titanyen, so we invited several schools along with our own school to come learn about the instruments and hear them sing and play. We had over 500 students show up (more than we thought would come), and the kids really seemed to enjoy it. They especially seemed to like the cello and the low notes it could play. It was a special afternoon for all of us.


We have gotten our children's puppet ministry back up and running now for the last several Saturdays and that has been great. We had to find some new men to be involved and that took some searching. The ones who had done it before the quake have gotten too busy with working for the relief organizations we have with us. We need to work with them some more on storytelling with the puppets, but it's off to a good start. The childrens' ministry we work with in Titanyen continued on through everything and it has grown to about 70-80 kids every Saturday morning.


Jensky, our little burned baby is doing very well. He is almost healed and we are so grateful for everyones' prayers on his behalf. We will get a picture of him this week and post it for you.


This is Carnival time and Madi Gras is tomorrow. Please pray for this country as this is a great time of voodoo celebrations leading up to Easter and spiritual warfare can be intense and oppressive. Pray for us as we minister in this season. Chris and Josh went up the mountain last night with some our men from church to show the Passion. We will be showing that film and the Jesus film often in the next 6 weeks.  Our church in Titanyen will be going out on missions to pray for villages and do evangelization.  In th middle of this, we have final elections for President in Haiti on March 20th and that may lead to demonstrations and possible violence. Please pray for the elections and safety of everyone.

  2. Glad to hear how things are going. We will continue to pray as these days are a tough time with all the unknowns. We've missed the warm weather.
