Presenting Christ in a rural Haitian community...one lesson at a time.
QUICK UPDATE FROM ANDY...
Hello friends of ASAPH Teaching Ministry!
Summer vacation is on the doorstep. The 'bug' is affecting people already. May brings both AGRICULTURE/LABOR DAY and FLAG DAY. After those events, everyone can feel summer vacation on the horizon.
May tends to be a slow month here in regard to daily lessons at the ASAPH Teaching Center. School students are distracted with soccer games at school, school trips, flag day rehearsals, and preparation for exams. We are building our summer schedule now and are looking ahead. :)
We are also enjoying fruit! Mangos are easy to find. I have four sweet pineapples on my table right now. Mmmmmm!
Haiti is a great place to minister. There are real needs of all kinds in every direction. It's often hard to know which problem to address first. I find it so different from life in the USA where "problems" might include a forgotten password or slow service at a restaurant.
Pray for Haitians. There is so little hope for the future here these days. Ten years ago young people would make plans for a bright future, and maybe 25% would ever be realized. Today, few even bother to plan long term. It's a dark way to approach life.
I will be home, Lord willing, for the end of June, all of July and part of August. I look forward to sharing ASAPH's story anywhere that people will listen. Invite me. :)
Follow God,

Haiti is beauty. It was at one time 'the Pearl of the Antilles.' Slivers of the country are a tropical paradise to this day.

Haiti is distressed. It is the poorest country in the western hemisphere and suffers from political instability, injustice, illiteracy, hunger, unemployment, inflation, low self-worth....the list goes on.

Haiti is home to 11 million people all created in God's image. Haiti is Judes. Haiti is Elimene. Haiti is Sophonie, Ulrick, and Sony.

ASAPH Teaching Ministry is sharing the love of Jesus Christ with the people of a town called Pasbwadom...one lesson at a time.
