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! It feels great to be here in this community once again. I love reconnecting to people after a few months away. I count it a privilege to be here...every day that it is possible.
Yesterday I participated in one of the biggest community events our area enjoys. When a person pours the cement roof on his house, men and boys show up to do the work. Buckets of mortar go up the latter and are poured into place. The empty buckets come back down, and the cycle is repeated for hours. Today, cement mixers are used, but back in the day it was 100% by hand. Still, the vibes at such an event are amazing. There is some shouting. There is some confusion. There is loud music. The sun is hot, and the cement flies everywhere. While the men and boys struggle in the sun, the women and girls are busy preparing cold water, snacks, and full meals for the workers. Break times bring smiles that are from deep inside. Accomplishment. Teamwork. Community.
I look forward to being here for the rest of August, September, and into October at least. I wish you could come and see the work ASAPH does. We are blessing people in a place where life is not easy.

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.
