As we all enter the New Year, may we all continue our trust in the Lord. God has been our help in the ages past and He is our Hope for years to come. Thank You Lord for this New Year and all that it brings. May we always find shelter under Your wings. May our children also realize that as they Live for Jesus. May all your people daily proclaim their Hope by what they say and do wherever they are planted.




Each Saturday morning, Mary and I go to the Agape Flights building just up the street on Delmas 75. This postal outlet is operated on a volunteer basis. All members of the Agape Flights mail are assigned special times to be of service, to sort the mail and to 'hand deliver' the mail :-) This time also becomes a great time to interact with the many volunteers and/or missionaries who work for the many different Christian agencies at work in Haiti. Here Mary is talking to Ruth Van Dam, who is involved with CRWM and whose children go to Quisqueya Christian School.

The new year also brought new opportunities for service. In addition to the MS algebra class and the grades 6/7/8 science classes, I also now have some administrative duties which include curriculum, teacher development and classroom visits, and dealing with the discipline in the elementary and middle school grades. There is no air conditioner in the office, but I have a great view of the soccer field just outside my window. I also exchanged two grade 6 science periods I teach to PE periods:-) Now both the grade sixers and I get our weekly exercise.
