an update long overdue

posted by Sharla

I'd like to thank our blog readers who've reminded me that I haven't written an update in a while. I'm long overdue for an update to the mailing list, but you faithful blog readers will hear it here first!

June was amazing, as you've read. The groups were incredible and it was so great to see God work in their lives and in the lives of our kids and their families.

One of the things that came out of that trip was the decision to start supporting Mares financially. Mares is a Haitian pastor who lives in Pancho Mateo. He has churches in Pancho Mateo, Chichigua, and Los Cocos, and does ministry in other villages as well. He has been our biggest resource in the villages and we don't want to see him have to go out an find paid work after he does 60 hours of ministry in a week! $200 a month will cover his personal AND ministry expenses, so I am in the process of trying to raise that for him. If you'd like to help, let me know!
