Summer!

Ahh!  Summer.  Swimming pools, air conditioners...or not.  We're dealing with the heat here in sunny Haiti.  I've been to the ocean only once or twice since I've been back in Haiti.  I'll get there more now that summer vacation has arrived.  We made it through the longes day of the year the other day.  It was light enough to play horseshoes at 8:00 in the evening.  That's as late as the sun will ever go down here close to the equator, you know.   You northerners get much more of the swing from long days to short days each year.  

The WFL school ended testing yesterday.  The other schools in the area had finished already, so now kids are left to wait for their results...pass?  or fail?     

The good people from Water For Life came and used a Bobcat front loader thing to level and clean the land where the steel buildings will be.  Now we'll mark the buildings, make frames, and pour cement slabs in order to be ready when they arrive...hopefully early in July.  

Our church is having a week of services from June 24 to July 1.  The theme is 'Practicing True Love'...or there abouts.  Help us pray that it will be a week of growth for the Christians in our town.  

Then, a group of our church's youth is hosting a concert on July 1st.  They have prepared some very good music for the afternoon and will have a guest band from another church in the area as well.  I get to play keyboard on a song I wrote, and trumpet on another song.  I hope to record some of it and put it on the program for ASAPH CONCERT #2...in PA!

I ordered about 1500 ribbons (10 different colors) that we'll start using (as soon as they get here in the mail) to reward young people who will be memorizing Bible verses.  It was an effective program years ago.  These ribbons are printed with ASAPH Bible Academy and Psalm 119:150.  Lets plant the powerful Word of God in the hearts of young people!  It's life changing.

Enjoy some fresh strawberries there in PA...and the humidity, too.  :)  

Follow God!
