This is definitely a day filled with many memories. It is hard to believe that it was a year ago already that so many things changed.
It has not been an easy year, yet through it all we have seen God's hand at work and doing amazing things. Many people have come to know Christ through the tragedy and others have been challenged and deepened in their faith.
Philippians 4:6&7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
This verse is a great reminder that God doesn't want us to worry, but instead to rely on God and His peace. Wow, a peace that surpasses all understanding, that is the type of peace that I want, peace that no one understands.
Today we are praying that as we seek God in prayer, His peace will guard our hearts and minds. It isn't going to be an easy day for the people of Haiti and the staff of BHM, but we are praying that God will guard our hearts and minds as we seek Him in prayer today.
Thank you for joining us in prayer.

Great week
We are so thankful that we have been able to deliver most of the school food this week. Schools reopened following the Christmas break and things have remained peaceful, making it possible for us to deliver the food.
Progress is being made on the conference center also. Electric and plumbing are going in and our group of carpenters are working hard to get the roof on. We are praying that this facility is finished by mid march when we are planning on holding national church conference. There will be over 300 church representatives here from most of the BHM affiliated churches and we will need the conference center to house and feed these people.
This week we are looking forward to a couple of volunteers coming in along with a medical team at the end of the week.
We are praying that things remain peaceful. There are rumors that the election recount is to be announced sometime this week.
Thank you so much for your prayers.

Wonderful holiday time
These past 2 weeks have been very relaxing and enjoyable.
On Christmas day we were able to visit the patients in the hospital and share God's love with them. We were able to sing songs and pray in each of the wards and the kids handed out candy canes to everyone in the hospital.
We were then treated to a wonderful Christmas dinner. We are blessed to have a French chef here who wanted to make Christmas dinner for us. Wow, I have never had turkey that tasted so good. Thank you Jean Claude for being such a blessing to us!
The week between Christmas and New Years was quiet and restful. Kyrk gave many of the workers the week off so it was quiet here and we were able to enjoy some good family time which is always enjoyed.
Now we are back into our normal routines. We started back to school today, which is always a reminder that vacation is over.
We are so grateful that things have remained peaceful in the country. We are still unsure of what the next weeks will be like. Sometime in the next couple weeks they are supposed to announce the results of the recount. Thanks for your continued prayers.
