Pastoral Retreat in Haiti

Matt had the opportunity to participate in a meeting with the Foursquare Executive Council in Haiti. It was a refreshing time for the pastors as they stepped out of the daily stresses of their lives and relaxed for a few days. The main goal of this time together was to provide a place for them to just “be,” to fellowship with each other, worship God, and be encouraged to continue. The pastors commented that they felt like they were in a different country. The retreat was held in northern Haiti, in an area that Pastor Bellande (National Leader) had moved to after he evacuated Port-au-Prince. Cap Haitian looked and felt like Haiti but had a quietness and security that felt unlike anything that we had experienced during our two years in Port-au-Prince. We will continue to travel to Haiti, meet with the Pastors, and support and encourage them in whatever way we can.

Celebrating 1 Year in the DR!

We have crossed over from our first year in the Dominican Republic to our fourth year on this island of Hispaniola! We appreciate all the support that has allowed us to live and serve this area of the world. We are excited for what the next year brings as we start DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAMS and prepare to launch our LIFE TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM. Thank you for being on a mission with us!

“Seeing Straight to Jesus” Eye Glass Clinic was a beautiful time of partnership with a Haitian church and a visiting group from Pennsylvania. 230 pairs of reading glasses were distributed, and each attendee had the opportunity to receive prayer from the church leaders and team as they exited the clinic. Some of the Dominican neighbors even came to the clinic, and it was a fantastic way for the local Haitian church to meet the physical needs of their congregation and their Dominican neighbors. Thank you, Pastor Mark, Harriet, and Ben, for partnering and serving well!
