QUICK UPDATE FROM ANDY! (January 2023)
Hello friends of ASAPH Teaching Ministry!
I flew back into Haiti in December. The trip was uneventful, but so much more complicated than five or ten years ago. We enjoyed the end of the World Cup here together...Messi fans especially.
Christmas was quiet. Prices are so high. Celebrations were sparce. The New Year came and went without much fanfare as well.
Our church is now into 21 straight days of evening services. It's a good thing, but tiresome. The theme this year is about the Return of Jesus and how the church will fly away at that time.
I am so glad to be here during tough days. I anticipate more tough days ahead. What we need for the days ahead is not money, food, or 5G internet. What we will all be needing is courage. Paul says that is why he wrote what he wrote about Christ's return, so that we can encourage each other with the news. It is good news. The God of stars, the God of the Old Testament heroes and miracles, the God of Paul, the all-powerful EL SHADDAI who so loves us is coming to take us home. What a reason to be strong in days that will test our strength.
I plan to spend time in the USA again in March and/or April.
Follow God,
ANDY STUMP

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.
