Having fun at ASAPH Teaching Center

A Pharisee pays the guards to say that they fell asleep when the tomb was emptied, because... IF THAT MAN REALLY ROSE FROM THE DEAD, THEN WE SHOULD BELIEVE EVERYTHING HE SAID!

Afterglow : Inspired by the successful concert, the Brass Band Players launch into unrehearsed songs of praise!

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!

Carl, Carol, Rob and Ryan. Part of the ASAPH team.

Winter 2013-2014:

Pastor Cunnings teaching about humility...followed by removal of tie and washing of feet. Powerful stuff.

Paul (guitar), Erntz (bass), Andy (keys), Dom (lead), Steephenson (drums), Johnny and Makenndy (vocal). UNTIL THE WHOLE WORLD HEARS!

Christmas lights at ASAPH

ASAPH's buildings from the back.

This hill used to be something you drove around. Not anymore. Up and over.

A neighbor church is in the new street...notice the DEMOLISH red line.

Notice the new shelving...paid for by ASAPH sponsors. With equipment up off the floor, there is more room for students!

Emmauella...one of three young ladies who have recited 5 levels of the ASAPH Bible Academy memorization program. Brand new Bible!

Early morning @ ASAPH.

Andy with the Jr. Youth group

The Old Testament books...history, poetry, and prophesy...all prepare us for Christ!

Pastor Cunnings REALLY preaches about humility...washing feet of others.

A powerful message...complete with taking off the robe (symbol of status) in order to be the servant.

Fall 2013:

Beats a pool in back yard.

Sand. Sea. Sky.

Couple of coconut trees.

Walking home from the beach.

The surf!

MP3 player. Another way to help ASAPH music students to be acquainted with great music.

Pilgrim's Progress. A classic. We're reading it with the Jr. Youth group. If you haven't read this book, you should...an English copy obviously.

Water Filter. Thanks, Pastor Don!

Future shade. It's so hot here in Haiti, the trees go looking for shade. Really!

"Running Water" 15-20 gallons per trip. It's about 150 yards to the hand-pump well from here.

The shower stall. No dripping faucet here. No faucet at all. Bring your bucket with you.

Lights! Trusty generator is used about 8 hours per week.

The stove. Hot tea and oatmeal in the morning!

This is what we call 'the gardens'. Every banana on the tree is money in the bank, so to speak.

Taking care of the new steel buildings...now almost one year old!

Learning from the masters! A group of musicians watches Dizzy Gillespie at the ASAPH Teaching Center. Every Wednesday and Thursday night in September was a concert on DVD.

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.
