School Visits and Children's Program

Wow, has it really been 2 1/2 weeks since I last wrote.  Sorry for the absence. 

Things went really well with the school visits and it was great to continue to learn about these other districts and what they are doing.  There are still a few schools from the Atrel area and Port-de-Paix that he needs to visit, so hopefully these happen soon.
Here are a few pictures from the Herbe A Fleche school, just to give you some more idea of the type of schools that he was visiting.

What does God want us to do?
Over the past few weeks I have really been struggling with what God wants us to do here.  We know that we have been called to work with the local people to make a training center become a reality in this area, but what does that mean for today and the next months.  We have been blessed with some great pastors that we have been talking with and starting to get their ideas, but still I must admit that it is difficult to just wait.
There are so many ideas that we have of what we would like to see and do, but we don't want to do something just for the sake of "doing."  We want to be sure that it is what God is wanting us to do.  Join us to praying that God's will would be so clear to us and that we would be obedient to His will in what ever little steps He wants us to take.

Saturday afternoon kids time:
Our children have really wanted to start making friends with the local children.  Last Saturday the kids and I all went for a walk to see if we could find some kids to play with.  Armed with a tennis ball and a football, we set out.  By the end of an hour we had a group of about 15 boys that we played with.  These boys really enjoyed it and said that they would come back again this week.  We are praying that this will become a weekly event, with games and a Bible story time.
