A month has passed since we safely landed back in Haiti. Life has settled back into a routine, which for the boys and I means SCHOOL! Jan was busy in the first weeks working on projects around the house that have been neglected, but in the recent weeks has started working at the LSM Ag Park helping with some of the infrastructure needs as the projects moves into new phases of development. Jan was digging a trench one day and decided that Derek could learn how to run the machine he was using. Derek did great and is enjoying the challenge.

LSM Business Development is moving forward,but at a slow pace as we wait for the land purchase to be completed. We pray that God will open the necessary doors to move forward with the project. Once the land owner fulfills his part, Jan will be ready to tear down and pack up the block plant in Florida. Upon arrival via sea containers here in Haiti, reassembly will take place on a newly poured cement pad. Patience....
One Goal we have with the LSM kids is to have seminars throughout the year on age appropriate subjects. Below is a pict taken of the older children at a seminar during their Easter break from School.

Today(Sunday) is the end of the MEBSH
Convention where somewhere in the range of 10,000-12,000 visitors come to our
neighboring village to attend a 5 day annual convention. (For any newcomers to our blog, MEBSH is the Haitian Church that Loving Shepherd Ministries serves under. Most of our Homes of Hope are connected with a local MEBSH church.) Each day there
are 3 big services with preaching and choirs. This year marks the 80th
year in which the Mission Evangelical Baptist Church of Southern Haiti(MEBSH) began. They celebrated this year with many special events, the first being a parade march down one of the busiest roads in Haiti, ending at the Simon Church.

Thursday evening the leaders of MEBSH recognized the missionaries who are
currently working with them, as well as many who did in the past. Please pray
for the MEBSH churches in Haiti. Pray that the power of the transforming
gospel would be solidly preached and lived out in the lives of believers all
over this needy country, bringing the true HOPE that each person needs!

Each year one of the mission organizations on our compounds hosts a Ladies Retreat. Alisha and I had fun going together and sharing a room. Silas was a really good, and Alisha was able to enjoy and relax!
