Visiting Churches:
A couple weeks ago Kyrk was invited to attend meetings for pastors and preachers held at a couple different churches. It was a great time to learn what is happening in these churches and to encourage them. As Kyrk is able to go to these types of meetings it allows us to share more about the vision for a training center in this area and encourage the church leaders to be involved in the planning of this center.
Last week Kyrk spent 4 days traveling to many churches along with 3 men from camp LePhare. (the mission camp) They shared about the camp ministry and invited people from the Northwest to be a part of camp this summer.
Ladies Group:
God continues to do great things through the ladies group that He has allowed me to be apart of. Last week I was invited by the ladies to share a little bible study each week. WOW, this was a super scary thought. I truly felt like Moses when God told him to go before Pharoah. My first reaction was "but I can't speak that well." All week as I spent time in the Word I asked God what verse He wanted me to share. I finally decided on Ps. 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God." It was easier then I thought to write out some thoughts on this verse in Creole. Then on Tuesday afternoon I shared what I had written with Oseelea, the young lady who works for me. Amazingly she could understand what I had written. So with my notes in hand, I went down to the ladies group. I should probably add that I was looking for any excuse possible to not go. There was a short rain shower right before I had to leave and I thought "yes, I don't have to go, it is raining." But then the rain stopped.
When I arrived I discovered that it was going to be more of a ladies camp preparation time and I didn't have to share.
Reflecting back I can see that God brought me through that to clearly show me that I don't need to worry, but Be still and know that He is God and He will accomplish His purposes. I only need to obey and do what He asks.
I'm sure that the next time I go to ladies group I will still be a little nervous, but I know that I have a God who has everything under control and will speak for me.
Visiting Canada:
Yes next week at this time Kyrk and I will be enjoying the cool weather of Ontario. We will be spending one week in Ontario for my brother's wedding. Our children will be staying in Haiti with thier cousins and they are really looking forward to that.
For those of you in the Forest area, we look forward to seeing you.
