<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This month has been a stretch for me in a couple ways. I was asked to fill in for 2 weeks of teaching devotions to the Baptist Haiti Mission campus workers each morning at 8 o\u2019clock. Fortunately, we had just finished translating the 10 basic doctrines which we teach in grades 1 & 2 into Creole. So I decided to teach these doctrines \u2013 which come with questions and answers \u2013 for the 10 days of devotions, adding a chronological Bible story to each doctrinal theme. That way, I am able to mostly read the Creole stories\u00a0from the gr.2 Teacher\u2019s Guide, and the workers, many of them illiterate or semi-literate, appreciate my efforts in the Creole language.<\/p>\n
Also this month, we have been able to start formal Creole grammar lessons, 3 times a week for me, with Martha start Creole lessons twice a week, this week, with a couple other missionary ladies.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, I was able to finish a research on conversational French, at a local bilingual school (that is, they teach the children in French, but also simultaneously teach Creole.) My research is about a \u201ctheory\u201d (well, it\u2019s my hypothesis) that effective communication needs to be in the language spoken by the audience, whether they use French-as-a-second-language, or even better in the case of Haiti: in Creole. We want this Bible curriculum to touch their hearts, to change their lives \u2013 both for their country, and for all eternity.<\/p>\n
So keep praying with us, for:<\/p>\n
– Haitian educators to join me in developing a Bible curriculum in Creole;
\n– progress in writing and creating the grade 3 Teachers\u2019 Guide and student textbook;
\n– for Martha\u2019s ministry in the self-help shop, helping local crafts-men\/women in creating sellable products.<\/p>\n
Thank God with us, for:<\/p>\n
– opportunities to teach Biblical principles in Creole;
\n– being able to be in Haiti these 2 more months, before needing to return to the States for paperwork;
\n– health & strength to serve in a couple very needy environments, with eternity\u2019s values in view.<\/p>\n
Laying firm foundations for Haiti,<\/p>\n
