Thanks to Joel and Yvonne Trimble’s Haiti For Christ Ministries for this info. Please follow the link to see an incredible sight. It is interesting how main stream media misses these little events. Haiti, out of sight, out of mind! On February 12 at exactly 4:53 PM when the 7.0 magnitude quake struck Haiti one month ago, hundreds of thousands of Haitians lifted their voices and hands in worship to Almighty God. All over Haiti church services spilled out into city streets and hymns were heard throughout the country. The largest worship gathering was in front of the National Palace once a beautiful copy of the Versailles in France, now a broken shell. AP captured the joyful outpouring on camera and you can view their footage by clicking on the link (more…)

Many of you have contacted us regarding the tragic earthquake that shook Haiti and the Dominican Republic yesterday. We thank each of you for the outpouring of prayers and support. We here in the Dominican Republic felt the rolling of the ground and swaying of the buildings. I was just getting home from picking up the kids when it hit. It felt like someone was jumping up and down on the bumper of our car. Fey and Rosa our neighbors, already outside started yelling, “terremoto, terremoto” as the ground continued to move for a few more seconds. We thank God everyone here is alright–but the same cannot be said for Haiti. What we felt was nothing in light of the devastation that has taken place in the city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. (more…)

Over the years we have had many groups adopt our students and then shop for them for Christmas. This year it seemed that no one was able to make that commitment and the teachers and I were worried that the students and families were going to be really disappointed!

But like ALWAYS, it turned out better than we could have imagined and the kids helped us remember what we were celebrating. (more…)
