Last month, Yvonne and I drove North to minister in a handful of NY churches and raise funds to restore the 80 year old mission home bequeathed to us. Before we left, we wrote this in a thank you:
Thank you for your continued faithful financial sacrifice for us and Haiti; we are deeply grateful and thank God for you!
Please lift us up in prayer as we load our 22 year old Toyota Camry for a long trip, Fl to NY to raise funds for Haiti for Christ and especially the continued repair and restoration of the 80 year old Cap Haitian Mission House. We are amazed that as family and friends take cruises all over the world, we take a 22 year old vehicle with 150K miles North and a DC 3 Missionary Flights to Haiti!
Godliness with contentment is great gain and Yvonne and I are at complete peace and contentment serving Christ by serving Haiti until He takes us home or splits the skies!
Our 2004 Toyota with a leaky roof and 150,000 miles on it was completely loaded when the phone rang one hour before our planned departure. A mission pastor was on the phone offering his 2017 Camry for us to use; it was a tremendous blessing. When we shared with our children,
our son said,
“That’s how you’ve lived your lives, one miracle after another.”
After 3 months of patience and $600 freight/customs cost, 4 new pick-up truck tires arrived via cargo ship in Haiti; the old tires were bare and dangerous, I
didn’t dare drive far out of Cap Haitian. We are praying about sending mission house appliances via cargo ship. Thus, while we are painting and repairing, the ship can take its time getting to Haiti.
Please pray and give with us to purchase these items
and get them on a cargo ship to Haiti.
