SUMMEr 2014:
ASAPH Soccer Academy - We'll be playing small tournaments each month...using soccer to teach good sportsmanship, leadership, and cooperation. And we'll have fun! GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!
A brass band in Haiti is called a FANFARE. The number of instruments available to the ASAPH FANFARE just doubled! Thanks to friends in PA, we received three more trombones and five more trumpets. (THANKS WFL for shipping them here!)
This is how I roll in Passe-bois-d'ormes these days. My single speed Schwinn Cruiser is equipped with lights (not shown)!
Jason Stoltzfus is building this office space for me. This is the 'brain' of the ASAPH Teaching Ministry. It's where I write, translate, compose, communicate...and watch World Cup games.
FOOD FOR THE POOR is building houses by the dozens here in our area. This one is right next door to me. The go from start to finish in about 2 weeks. Equipped with toilet (no running water) and solar powered lighting system.
The 20' x 36' roof of the Teaching Center is now part of a water collection system. We used PVC to make our own spouting, and connected it to a 200 gallon tank. Now all we need is rain. Maybe October.
World Cup Soccer. I bought a TV and an antenna to follow the games here at my house. The picture was fuzzy. For the first game we couldn't see the ball, only the players. Then we got it a bit clearer. Not HD quality, but we could 'live' the excitement.
SPRING 2014:
130 people attend the ASAPH Concert on April 6th @ St. John's Blymire's church in Dallastown. That's Dom and me up front!

A fun game that shows how a mirror helps you to better evaluate yourself, and our 'mirror' in this life is THE HOLY BIBLE, represented by the copper basin in the Tabernacle.
