Dear

Fr i end s

1982

came bounding in to our

livcQ

with exci t ing things a t

every

turn.

T ^e

are so

encouraged Afte r n ea rly four yearr>

of

struggling through a r iver

just before

the

entrance

to Chr is t ianvij t le , we

have f inal ly bui l t

a bridge

I t has been a t e r r ib le tuosle fo r

our car s

sometimes

being

s tuck

in

the

middle

or nearly

x^ashed av7ay.

Sut th e

nt-ri bridge

stands for

more

than

j u s t easier

dr iv ing . . . i t means

progress ,

road

to new

growth,r.new

horizons.

FLASI-: We have

held our f i r s t Seminar

- a

teaching program

for Pastors ,

deaconsjand

elders .

Bob DeVoe organized

it

with the

churches

a t

Grand

Guave,

Dellevue

and

Chris t ianvi l le . Two

days

viero

spent s tudy ing th e

Kord

with

classes in

our

school hal l from early morning unt i l

night .

From Indiana came Ralph Lemmon, Bob Reeves and Tony Varner, from Mill igan

Dr. Bob Hall and from Cookson

l i i l l s

Ralph Gorman.

Our

Wayne got

special

leave

from

c olle ge to

in te rpre t

for the group.

I t

was such a

glowing success

that we are prayerfully planning another seminar for June. V^hen we say we'

we mean a fellowship

of

the ministers and

pasters in

the Port

au

P rin ce a re a

and the south side

of

Hait i .

Duplicate

seminars followed in Port

au

Prince

with Cookson Hi l l s

and

Stephen Prophe t te .

At

the

same time I l i l l igan Team '8 2 was

here

doing a great job.

Around

our

schoo l they

erected

a 6

f t

high,

80C

f t

chain-link

fence

with

poles

set in concrete. They painted, laid blocks on a new outdoor kitchen and did

a dozen

other

helpful

jobs. This is Milligau's third year with

us and we

deeply appreciate

thei r

'dedication and help.

But l t s look hack fo r a moment a t December, Our school ch i ld ren had

t h e i r

very

f i r s t Christnas party. They began

in the morning with

games and

reces

and a t noon had

a

lovely

chicken

dinner.

We

baked

350 cupcakes, gave them

sweet s, bal loons and a pair of tennis shoes and socks each. Can you

imagine

f i t t ing 320

children

with

shoes? Oh,

Tracy

workec so hard. She deserved her

t r ip home

to

Canada for the holidays. In

the afternoon

the

children

presented

a beautiful Christmas program for

the

parents. ^ e were sc proud of them And

there were p ri

e s

for exc el le nt r epor t c ar ds .

In

our

home Christmas was precious. Our boys were truly

happy and are

s t i l l

young enough to enjoy a

stocking

fi l led

with goodies . Your beautifu land

Twas a gi f t to begin with, from

the

U.S. of A,

And

hard

twas

to

move

so

much

I t

did

weigh.

But we

were

exci ted

fo r what

it

could mean

to

the children whose teeth we would f ix and would clean.

I t arrived

in

the city and slept

silently there,

then moved to

the

country with

most

tender care.

But there

once

again i t rested so long

That

spiders

and cobwebs

made

it

the i r

home.

But

God heard th e p ra ye rs of

His

children so dear

and

sent

them

a Dent i s t

to

fill them with cheer .

He ro l led up h is

s leeves

and

se t

out in

haste

to

put

things

in

order - no

waste .

He

purchased supplies,

equipment and

tools

He spared not a

thing

toward his eminent

goals.

In

barely two days he was ready

to

call

All those

ch ildren togethe r

in the new

dental hal l

He

taught

them to brush, he taught them

to cle an ,

I2e

taught

them

the

really not

He

dr i l led and he f i l l ed and

made

Jesus who loved them

no

And

never

And

now we

say

thank you

God

bless him

each day.

For helping our

children

in so lovely a way.

This

HEALTH BEAUTIFUL HEALTH

When Christianville

School began

our children bore

the

s am e s ad marks of mal

nutrition a s t ho us an ds of others both far and near in this land of severe poverty.

Different

types

of

mal-nutrilion

marked

the

little

bodies

in

various

w/ays

but

on e

main

factor

was

t he c au s e

of

the

trouble. There

just

was not enough food

After our school f ee di ng p ro gra m began to

make

im pressions on the well

being

of the children we looked into further ways of bringing health to them.

Regular visits

to the

clinic

were

planned innoculations

were given

a nd hea lth

measures

were

taught

in

the classroom. Bu t

we

were

not

satisfied yet.

T he re w er e

teeth

and ey es

t o c o ns i de r.

Once

again

the

Lord intervened and sent us a Dentist Dr Virgil Ullom Serious

work began in the room built

into

our clinic for

the dental

lab Dr Ullom set up our

chair

that we had stored purchased som e e q u ip m e nt a n d borrowed

s o m e

and in a

short time was ready for work. First came

classes

in

using

a t oo th b ru s h and each

child was

given one.

Then came c le an in g a nd searching fo r cavities and finally

The month of February

brought

some good helping hands to Christianville

clinic.

A

midwest

medical

team from

the

Toledo

Ohio

a re a c ame

to

Haiti

to

work

with

several clinics and we lined up for our

share

of the good people. Here you see

Dr Doug

Lyons

and his wife Brenda R N busy doing and

learning.

Yes it was a

learning trip

for them

too as

they viewed the

tropical diseases

so foreign to

their

area

practice

at

Syivania.

Yes

the

opportunity

was

good

for

both

of

us

and

at

th e l u n c h t b l e w e

s h r e d a lo t

of cons t r uc t i ve

ide s

A lab

technician

came too and opened the door to our new lab. It was grea t to

see the equipment at work. Our nurse Kay

Dycus

was

delighted

with the whole ef

fort for

Doctors

cane and went for nearly the whole month. Her crowning joy and

ours was in receiving a

letter

from one of the

Doctors

who claimed Christianville

as t he bet te r run clinic

of

all he had visited. Kay will be in the U S for a short

furlough with her supporting churches

in May

and June.

THANK

YOU

We are grateful to our

friends

for

the

contr ibut ions early

this year that have

continu ed to make our work possible.

We

a lso appreciate our vis itors and

their

encouragement including the Teen

CHAPEL GROUNDBREAKING

ThyWord is a Light unto my path... Psalm 119:105

The

church folk left the

school

hall in a

double

line. Pastor

Profiton

holding

shovel below led in a

song as

the line

made

its way to the

chosen spot

for the

new Chapel. Gathered there on what we feel is the

most

beautiful

site on our

property

we

broke

ground.

The

singing was enthusiastic and the prayers

meaningful. And the people

have

a mind to work.

The

first gift

toward

the new building was made by the

congregation

a

total

of

100.00. This

represents

eight

months

of weekly

special

offerings.

In

addition

the church

folk are carrying

water

for concrete mixing

and

helping in

various

ways. In spite of their poor

and

needy

state

they are learning to give

and

to

share. Regular

weekly

services are

held

including

a 5 a.m.

prayer

meeting each

morning.

As

the Word

reaches

hearts

the

change

is

gradual.

But it is coming.. .

a

change

from

the

darkness of

voodoo

superstition

and demon possession

to

the f ree dom of be au tifu l life

is

the

foundation for

is a

Sewing Classes for Christianville S chool began with simple things... threading

a

needle

using a th im ble and learning to m ak e s tr ai gh t stitches. Nimble

fingers soon picked up the i de as a nd

then

advanced to the finer arts.

In a few months

th e older

girls were ready to

make

a

dress.

First

each

girl

made

a

dress

from

paper

learning

to fit

and gather and cut.

there

is no access here to Vogue or Simplicity Patterns. When a girl

passes

the test

of her

there

are twelve girls

working on

their very

PROGRESS AND

MILESTONES

Dental Clinic

work cont inues for Christian-

ville

and

for

nearby

Cfiristian

Schools and

orphanages. Dr. Virgil Ullonn is having

suc

cess in recruiting other

Dentists

for

periodical visits here. Dr. Jim Gore

came

in

May from Gainesville Florida and did an ex

cellent work

as well as endearing himself

to

the

whole family. Our home is blessed by

these workers and is

open

to

those whose

hearts

are moved in

love

to help.

Another milestone was reached when we completed our

upstairs

rooms for

visiting

work

teams.

When

Mrs

Bryan

Bell

visited

from

New Orleans last year

she

left us

5000 00

to put on the roof. Little by little we finished the rooms

hung

the doors and opened the quarters

for

occupancy Gibbons moved into

the section that Sam

had

made

into an apartment. Other rooms

are

dorm style.

We look forward to work teams helping both Christianville and the new work at

Grand

Guave

with Bob DeVoe.

In addition to the visit of our Eye Clinic team we were blessed by others. Bob

and Carolyn Weinischkecame from Boca Raton FL a delightfulvisit and Mrs

Katherine White

came

from Cape Coral FL for two weeks of dedicated work.

Les and Bess Lumsden our Stateside

co-workers

came

again

were an ex

cellent help and updated their slides for further promotional

work

How

blessed we are with such lovely friends... all of you who made this work

possible. We wish more could share In It by visiting.

It w as like a

cut-in

on a telephone call.

We

had made

a

wonderful

start on

the new c hurc h

building for Christianville. At

th e same

time

we

had

been handi ng out food to needy

children through

the clinic.

CARE

discontinued

the hand-out program and so Church World Service picked

us up. But they were due to discontinue

as

well. Then they told us they would

hold

the

fort for us until we could plan for

th e

Nutrition Center. We weighed the

matter carefully.

There were many undernourished children

ages

five and under that we could

not feed through

our

school program. They were finding help through our Clinic.

So the

balances tipped

in favor of th e

Center...

th e

c hurc h c ould wait

a few

more

months. Meanwhile the congregation would continue to meet in the school hall.

Yes

there ar e requirements

for a Nutrition

Center directed

by the U.S. folk in

charge. There must be a dining hall a kitchen a small office for records and

weighing children and sanitary conveniences. One hundred children will receive a

cooked

meal

each

day and

Mothers

will be

taught the

art of

nutritious cooking.

The kitchen

is to be a teaching

ground.

And

t h e r e

will

b e Bible l sses for th e Mo th e rs to o .

But

we knew we

faced another

of those

impossible

things. Then God sent the Christians at

College

Park GA. to help. It was a great

team.

had been

for Him to

pick up a new recruit a lovely girl from way out

our hearts in love for you.

Yes, our love i s r e a l .

And

so is God*s love. He loves

you

too,

and one

day He will say to

you,

Come, ye

blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom,..for I was

hungered

and ye gave

me

meat,

sick, and ye visited me,

not get us to heaven,

but God does^^^i^^ us that

they

are an important part of

our

Christian witness.

REVIVAL HAS BROKEN OUT I

During

of evangelistic meetings

and

the

results were tremendous. The

first week

13 were baptized

into

Christ one couple was married and

25

others came to accept Christ

We

are now helping them prepare for marriage and baptism.

The

meetings were attended with

over

600 people crammed

into

the hal l

that ordinar ily

can

barely

hold 300.

The singing

was magnificent

and

the joy

of the Lord

showed

on every

face. The

people

made

the

theme

of the week

we

are junplng on satan and

driving him

Only those who know the

depth

of the power of

satan through

voodoo

in

this

Island can understand our joy

in

evangelism. Our victory

is yours today. Thank you

for

a great

press on

together.

Happy

Christmas
