Day Four

From Rev. David Fetterman: A group of us are helping Reeny Davison this week as she teaches English to a group of Haitian children. Every afternoon we're gathering in a classroom as Reeny leads the group through learning basics of English. What a joy and what fun it was for us to sit among the children and learn basic words and concepts like sit, stand, dance, and sing. To learn those words we don't just say the words. Instead as we said them we sat and stood and danced and sang! And we laughed and learned each others names and just had fun being together. What a neat experience to share God's love among God's children! I can't wait for our next class!   From Gary Gallo: As I approach the midway point of my second visit to this oasis amidst the chaos, I'm more convinced than ever that the model of the La Croix Mission is a shining example of outreach worth supporting. I can see with first hand clearly that the modest investment my family makes in sponsoring a child's education is used effectively and efficiently to achieve tremendous results. Most of my time here has been spent doing construction in the middle school that Westminster's New Cornfield Campaign helped to build. The place is teeming with children excited at the opportunity to learn. When school is over, kids eagerly watch the work we're doing and want to learn about electricity and power tools - two concepts completely foreign to most!

Prayer Requests  Today's requests are for.... for the children that we worked with in the clinic today. The little that was done today was effective but there is so much these children need to be able to stay healthy. gratitude for the team's safety, good health and the sense of community that has brought us together for a common cause.
