Chambrun, Haiti Being Served

Over the next three weeks, Pastor Pierre will have three different teams in to serve in Chambrun. The first team is coming with World Wide Village and they will be working on a couple different construction projects. The goals will be to roof the new latrines and to ventilate the ends of the new roof that will help block the wind, rain and sun.

The second team will be a medical/dental team. This will be the first time a dentist has been in Chambrun so they will have their work cut out for them. The individuals will be traveling from Indiana and Maine.

The last team will be coming down from March 31st to April 7th. We are still accepting applications for this trip so if you are interested please download an application and get it to us as soon as possible. We are planning medical, construction, environmental and educational projects.

Nehemiah Worship Chapel

The Nehemiah Worship Chapel (NWC) was birthed just like the Nehemiah Children's Home (NCH), to fill a real need. As you may know the Nehemiah Christian Academy (NCA) started in 2005 with 30 students to respond to a crucial need of education, health care, feeding and to share the good news of Jesus.

Today the NCA is providing a biblical education to over 240 students along with a hot meal daily. It occurred to me several months ago that on Sunday mornings the children were just sitting around playing in the polluted dust and doing nothing. Many of their parents were in the brush cutting up thorn trees to make charcoal – one of the only sources of income in the community. I have prayed and thought for a long time about having Sunday morning worship for them.

Then on Sunday January 4th 2009, we had our first church service in the new school building with nearly 100 in attendance. There were at least eighty children and twenty adults. Since then, the crowd has grown and I believe will continue to grow. It blesses me to see the eagerness of the children to learn new songs, stories and bible verses.

I am very delighted to share this good news with you because the Lord is doing great things in the lives of those children and adults. We have been able to serve them kool-aid and biscuit after each service, that is also a blast. They just love it and will not leave until every drop of the kool-aid is gone.

Dianne having had a special training on Child Evangelism in Bible school is enjoying herself as she shares with them the word of God with the limited visual aid we have. I am persuaded that God will transform the lives of those children as we continue to offer them good Christian based education and the word of God at the NWC.

Please pray that:

• The word of God will have a hold of their hearts and the Holy Spirit will fill their lives at an early age
  


• Our need of puppets, flannel graph board materials, CD's, DVD's in any language and any visual aid that can help the children learn the word of God.
  


• That the Lord will provide for the kool-aid and biscuit we serve after church every Sunday
  


• Pray that in the near future we can have a real place of worship, since it looks as though we will soon outgrow the current chapel.
  


• That the Lord will send short term teachers to help teach or train our older kids on how to be teachers of the Word.

In one word, God is doing "Amazing" things in Chambrun and we are excited to be a part of this.

Pray, Give, Come or Go, would you be a part of it?

Be a surfer, here is a high wave just jump on it; you can surely surf with God in Haiti.
