Over 40 in January 2014

January 27, 2014

Our 40th wedding anniversary was December 22nd ! Where were we just over 40 years ago? We were having a 3-week Christmas break, while we were students at the New Tribes Mission of Canada training center in Durham, Ontario. We got married in my grandmother’s church (which became our home church), since my parents were […]

Skip to November 2013

November 14, 2013

We drove to Canada in October. No, we didn’t drive from Haiti – we flew to Atlanta, were picked up by great Alabama friends, and stayed a few days in our home with Crystal (who is a precious house-sitter for us.) We enjoyed seeing friends at church, a Ladies meeting, Celebrate Recovery, prayer & Bible […]

Lapli in September 2013

September 12, 2013

In Creole, they cry: “Lapli ! Lapli !” when it starts raining. This means, “The rain! The rain!” When we got up this morning we looked at the thermometer, ‘cause we felt so cold, and it was down to 70 F. (21 C.) It has been raining a lot these days. But here on the […]

Starting 3rd in August 2013

August 5, 2013

I will start writing the 3rd Grade Bible curriculum this month. This will start a three-year series of chronological Bible lessons covering the historical events of creation, and significant Old Testament stories that lead up to and include the story of our Savor’s finished work as the Lamb of God – to be taught in […]

Jewelry in June 2013

June 20, 2013

A ministry in Haitian jewelry? Martha had been helping one of the BHM missionary ladies twice a week in the jewelry department of the MountainMaid Self-Help project – see the picture on our website. Ladies from the local churches were given training in making necklaces and bracelets from cereal box-type cardboard, and the Mission was […]

4-wheeling in May 2013

May 16, 2013

We drive to church in the mission’s “Big Red”. You can see a picture of us on our way to church by 4-wheel drive, on our NTM blog where we post a new picture each month (see our web address at the bottom.) The churches here in Haiti may read from a French Bible, but […]

Stop in April 2013

April 21, 2013

How did the sun stop? Without a Biblical foundation, even in how we teach science, people with an animistic worldview grapple with how to explain that the Bible says the sun stopped (Joshua 10:12-13). An animistic worldview believes that spirits, or some unknown Force, controls all events on earth. Some people in Haiti believe that […]

Routine in March 2013

March 11, 2013

Finding a routine in a new milieu is challenging! We find there is always more than enough work to keep us busy, and we are asking God to give us His wisdom in setting right priorities. I have been able to set up an office corner in one of the BHM offices, and to pick […]

Luggage in February 2013

February 7, 2013

PTL that all our luggage arrived: with us, and with no customs fees! First we were over-weight for the amount of luggage we had told the Missionary Flights International (MFI) that we would be needing to take to Haiti. We had packed all night long, Monday January 28 to 29th. Then we drove a U-Haul […]

We fly to Haiti, this month! We start by driving from Alabama on the 29th, to take our 30 or more trunks & totes by U-Haul to the Missionary Flights International (MFI) center in Florida. They will fly us to Port-au-Prince on the 31st. The Baptist Haiti Mission complex, where we will be living and […]
