Dear Loved Ones,

 

Peace of our Lord be onto you. This last Saturday October 15, forty-four (44) leaders from thirteen (13) churches met in Cap-Haitian, the second largest city of Haiti. The aim of the meeting was to evaluate the women activities in those churches of northern region, to plan for the year 2012 and to elect the new board members.

Taking the advantage of this meeting, we continued learning about cholera prevention and the measures to take once bitten by a dog. The rabies teaching was new to many of those leaders who have not yet heard that there are wild dogs biting people in the country.

We also talked about the Baptist Women World Day of Prayers for this year.

The interesting part for me was to see two of my leaders teaching cholera prevention. I intervened only to answer some difficult questions for them.

We continue to praise God for your continued support to our ministries.  Without you it would be impossible for us to be of help to so many.

 

May God of love keep you all under His power.

 

Yours in Haiti

Dear Friends,

 

Kihomi’s continual efforts to empower women are bearing much fruit.  Her efforts are paying off as women she has trained are starting to take leadership of the programs.  This is no small thing in a country where women are always in the background and have been taught from birth they can not do much without a man.  She is saving lives, improving day to day living plus offering the hope of Jesus to uplift them.  Thank you for supporting this wonderful ministry.

 

In His Name,
