    Many people who work in Haiti say "nothing ever changes". We atChristianville don't feel that way. Not all changes that we see are good,like changes in the democratic system or the embargo. Many people aresuffering from mal-nourishment, starvation and rising prices. Life is morestressful now for Haitians than ever before. It is an excellent time for usto be working in this country, not only to feed the physical needs, but tofeed hungry souls. The church feels no persecution. We are even encouragedto do our work. We are only limited by our own resources and personnel.Most of this challenge is due to our growing and diverse programs, said to beone of the finest in Haiti. Christianville is used by many as an example ofwhat can be done. It has been the inspiration for many other missionaries tobuild upon. We have a heavy responsibility to maintain and continue ourprogram. We pray that you will find it worthy of your support.

    We are watching little children develop into young adults. It isexciting to see them change. Their future will be much brighter because theycan read and make decisions, something most of their parents cannot do.Jerome is developing an excellent Christian education program for the comingschool year. We will have 176 students in high school this fall. Many ofyou have faithfully sponsored the same child since the first grade. We hopeyou will someday meet your child personally so you can rejoice in thedifference you have made in a human life. Be in prayer for the future ofthese young people and for their decisions to serve God.

    Ti Boucan, the mountain Church, has just finished another revival. Thefirst night saw at least 1000 people in attendance. Raymond closed theservices with an estimated 2000 in attendance and we saw six people come toconfess Christ and be immersed into Christ.

    This year we will be doing our own VBS without any American helpers.The Haitian staff and their families are going into over-drive to allowhundreds of kids from five churches to experience the thrill of VBS. Thiswill require three intensive weeks. Keep the staff in prayer. Many of theolder high school students will be teaching. We're glad to provide thistraining ground for them to begin working for God. Christian teenagers inHaiti are proud to represent Christ by singing or witnessing. They enjoyattending revivals and seminars. In a country that doesn't offer much hopeand future, we're able to introduce Jesus, who "gives them a future and ahope".

    On a recent afternoon we visited many of the elderly in the area. Ourpurpose was to check their needs and to pray and sing with them. Despitetheir impoverished conditions, they all sang and gave glory to God. It wasa very humbling and rewarding time spent with these forgotten people ofHaiti. Such an experience reminds us why we came to this country.

    Although school is out for summer vacation, the feeding programcontinues. The large garden behind the school is providing some vegetables,not only for the school children, but for the 100 old people who eat at henutrition center. We are grateful that we are able to give our kids fish,meat, and eggs from the farm. Presently, the fish pond is dry, awaiting anew batch of fingerlings (baby fish). We are able to grow many pounds offish each year as a result of a unique system of using by-products from thehogs and chickens to feed the pond. We thank God and those missionariesbefore us who worked at creating such a pleasant facility to work at!

    Present prayer needs: (1) Pastor David who has a severe heart problem.(2) More permanent missionary staff. (3) New truck. (4) Conversions at allsix churches. (5) VBS.

    We at Christianville sincerely thank you for your various means ofsupport. If you see any opportunity for us to tell others about the work atChristianville, please write, or call us.
