Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Peace and Greetings to all of you. The entire family is doing fine. We continue to praise God from whom all our blessings come. Children are back in their old school and very glad to see their old friends again. Their school has 24 children in total in this year.

Kihomi has been busy meeting with the leaders of the different regions to get the real picture and the real feeling of the women's ministry. A big meeting of all of them will take place in Camp Coq next month. She attended the Caribbean Baptist Women Union meeting in Turks & Caicos Island in July 24-28.While there, she had a nice visit with Mrs. Audrey Morikawa, President of the Women's Department of Baptist World Alliance who invited her to attend their meeting in England in 2005. She has been assisting many bereaved families as well as the triplets we have in our village of Haut-Limbe. On August 24, she attended the meeting of the National Union of Haitian Baptist Women in Port-au-Prince, the capitol city. We both participated in our Baptist Annual Congress in July, which was held here on our university campus. We shared about our stay in the States and our deputation. We hosted many of the delegates to the congress.

On August 17, I was invited to bring the message in the Baptist Church of LaGrande Riviere du Nord. About 1,500 people attended this thanksgiving worship service. On Sept. 2, I brought the Gospel message on the opening ceremony of our university. I have 3 courses to teach in the undergraduate level and one in the Master of theology level. Meanwhile I continue to train one assistant teacher in the field of teaching.

Many of you have asked about the triplets of the Lolo family. They are growing nicely in spite the hardship of their parents. We have covered the roof of their house. Windows are in and doors are being worked on this week. The masons are busy plastering the inside walls. We plan to move them in early next month.

We would love your prayers as we plan to visit the churches and the schools in the countryside and Kihomi's big meeting next month in Camp Coq. Prayers are also needed for our university. The enrollment is very low this year due to the fact that many parents are unable to pay the US $650 needed for a year study.

If we are here ministering to our Haitian brothers and sisters, it is because you care for us. Your care is the medicine that keeps us going. We deeply appreciate your support of all kinds. Please prayerfully consider giving to the World Mission Offering. May God continue to bless all of you.

Yours,

Nzunga & Kihomi Mabudiga

PS: One hot meal at our university cafeteria costs 50 gourdes or US $1.25 compared to 15 gourdes a year ago. This seems too much for many students. Our office temperature is 90º F with 65% humidity.
