In Creole, they cry: \u201cLapli ! Lapli !\u201d<\/em><\/strong> when it starts raining.
\n This means, \u201cThe rain! The rain!\u201d<\/em> When we got up this morning we looked at the thermometer, \u2018cause 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 mountain, at 4,318 ft. above sea-level, it is quite temperate: in the mid-70\u2019s most of the time. What an added blessing, while we serve the Lord here in Haiti! The old hymn says, \u201cMercy drops \u2018round us are falling, But for the showers we plead.\u201d<\/em> We are so thankful for the open door to develop a Bible curriculum to be taught in the elementary schools of Haiti. And we ask you to continue praying with us that even more doors will open. Baptist Haiti Mission has over 350 schools, serving over 67,000 elementary students. But other Christian schools and missions in Haiti are also searching for a Bible curriculum in French and Creole \u2013 and we pray God will open up even public schools here in Haiti to use these foundational Bible lessons for their religious education. Let\u2019s pray together for more Bible \u201cshowers\u201d: Lapli, Lord! Lapli!<\/em>
\n Martha and I will be taking a very short trip to Alabama, October 19 \u2013 November 2, to consolidate our Permanent Resident status there, and to squeeze in some supplying buying, needed visits to doctors and dentist, and at least one side trip. So we\u2019d appreciate your prayers for His leading in the planning of each detail.<\/p>\n

PRAY with us<\/strong>:
\n – for the on-going development of the Grade Three Bible curriculum in French and Creole, for schools of Haiti.
\n – for God to lead us to the right Haitian educators and artists, to help make these foundational Bible lessons fun & relevant for gr.3 students.
\n – for the Haitian church to keep growing and helping open doors for the meaningful development of their people, spiritually most of all.
\nPRAISE GOD with us<\/strong>:
\n – that we have received enough designated funds to buy 186 Creole Bibles (towards one for each of the 330 BHM grade Two teachers.)
\n – that we\u2019ve met some good contacts among Haitian educators who value the development of a Bible curriculum for elementary students.
\n – for enabling Martha to be an on-going encourager in the BHM self-help office.<\/p>\n

Helping to lay solid foundations in schools in Haiti<\/strong>,<\/p>\n
