After quite a long delay due to the earthquake, we are finally beginning the long process of moving to the northwest of Haiti. God has really given us a heart for the people of that area and we are excited about the changes that God is bringing to the ministry that we are involved with. For those of you who don't know we are going to be setting up a training center so that training for pastors and teachers can be offered in the Northwest instead of only at the Fermathe campus. This center will also be part of the hope of decentralizing the work of the mission, so we will be working closely with the pastors in the Northwest.
A week ago Friday Kyrk took a quick trip to Atrel along with a construction boss and they marked the property lines and marked places for him to start building pillars as the beginning of a wall around the property. Boss Joubert left on Thursday and along with a small crew of men they went up to build those pillars. They just returned this afternoon.
We are also working on house plans and starting to plan out how we are going to start building the structures that we are going to need on the property.
It truly is amazing how God's timing is always perfect. Since we have felt that God was leading us to Atrel we have been praying that God would send someone here to take our place here at the mission. Recently there has been a couple who are very seriously considering coming and serving with BHM and he would take over Kyrk's job. They would be able to come this summer, allowing a few months of overlap with Kyrk still here and then if it is God's plan we hope to move by Novmeber 2012.
Your prayers are greatly appreciated as we continue to seek God's will and follow where He leads. The next several months are going to be stretching ones, but we are trusting God that as we step out in faith He will direct our steps and provide all that we will need.
