Presenting Christ in a rural Haitian community...one lesson at a time.
QUICK UPDATE FROM ANDY...
Hello friends of ASAPH Teaching Ministry!
I am back in Haiti! I flew the week of April 10th. My flights didn't go exactly as planned, but there were no security or safety issues at any point. I am thankful for that. My trip ended up being two days later than planned, but all went well once the traveling started.
Things are in good shape here at ASAPH. My times away are less impactful these days with WEC and SHELTERLINE handling many things while I am gone...and several young teachers keeping the teaching going.
I love the days I get to spend here. Ministry happens easily. Many young people are handling things that require wisdom. It is a joy to be here and to know their situations closely, and to offer the wisdom they need. In the matter of a couple of days here at ASAPH, I can have more deep conversations about life and morality than I do in a couple of months in the USA.
This year's theme at ASAPH Teaching Ministry is from 1 Chronicles 16. "Find joy in His holy name ; let the hearts of those who keep on seeking the Lord rejoice."
Joy, in this life, can be hard to find even in a developed country. How can people in Haiti find joy? They do! I have seen it regularly in my time there. Real Joy can be found only in His name! If we keep on seeking the Lord, we find joy!!! Find joy in His name by looking back at all He as done, by looking around at all He is doing, by looking ahead to what He will do, and by looking into His word.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THIS MINISTRY!!!! Thank you for making these days of ministry possible!!

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.
"GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD.
