I’m Back

Okay, so I, George, am a little behind on things.  A lot has been going on.  I had a trip to Haiti, and specifically to the island of Lagonave, in June and into July, to explore the possibility of a church partnership with Barefoot Community Church, of North Myrtle Beach, SC.

In August there was a trip to Maryland for a board meeting, then a trip to Haiti for our annual Leadership Conference, and some time spent at Grace Center, then out to Gode and Doriol to prepare for roofing teams in January.  This took us into September and a trip to Pennsylvania for meetings and to prepare for our annual Celebration Banquet at Shady Maple Smorgasbord, near Lancaster, on September 25.  The banquet was a wonderful time of celebration, food and fellowship.  Another banquet in western Pennsylvania took place the following weekend in October and indications that banquet was a great success as well.

October 23-30, I returned to  Lagonave with a team from Barefoot Church.  They were a wonderful team, endured a fairly rough trip to the three churches on Lagonave, painted, had fellowship with the believers at the churches, and saw 22 people come to salvation in Christ in the days we were there.

November found me back in Haiti at a pastors’ conference in Carrefour with four men with C3 Global.  The two day conference was a tremendous encouragement to the pastors of Carrefour.  We had between 150-200 pastors gathered at Pastor Beril’s church for the conference.

Please pray for the people of Haiti.  They endured the earthquake in January, then a major storm in November, and now are suffering with an epidemic of cholera.  Elections are to be held at the end of November.  The ministries of Grace Mission have weathered the disasters rather well, but please keep praying for our pastors and mission leaders as they deal with all these things, and try to meet needs with limited resources.
