It is the time of year to share with someone you love about the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  Our family is praying that your Easter will be full of joy and that you will be able to share your holiday with loved ones or someone you don't know very well.

     We have 2 more months of school left before the summer holiday, this school year went so fast and we are looking forward to next September.  Our class grew from 50 students to 60 students and we have children waiting for the new year to register.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank our teacher, Wilbert Darius, he works very hard with the children, not only during the week, but also on Sunday morning during church service. He is very dedicated to Gods calling on his life and we look forward to seeing what God has for him next year. We will have a huge birthday party at the end of the year for all the students, there are too many to celebrate each month, so we will just have one big one.  We have made some new plans already for next year, I will be teaching English classes during regular school hours, we hope we will be able to rotate classes with 3 teachers, myself included.  Parents are asking us to begin teaching their children some English and that prayer has been answered.

     This month we were honored with the presents of Bishop Bob Coulter and Judy Covington, they are from The Missionary Church International, in Columbia, South Carolina.  We spent a fun day at the school with Chapel,  Judy led the children in a couple songs, and we feed them some lunch and enjoyed each others company. Bishop Coulter and Judy, we thank you so much for sharing with the children.

     We have had a very quiet month, but we praise God for his many blessings that he has given us.  Pastor Robert Mitchell, we are grateful to you for the donation, it will be used for something great! Please tell your congregation and the other churches how very much we appreciate all you do for us, you are welcome here anytime of the year.  God Bless all of you!  We will be offering a mission trip here to La Vega next year, we will be given more details next month as we are preparing the schedules.  If you are interested in coming, we have accomodations for each of you, we will let you know the exact month this trip will take place, you will be working with the Haitians and the Dominican communities. We are looking forward to a wonderful time sharing the love of Jesus with them all.

     This Easter won't you please read to your children or someone in your family from the bible.  In Matthew chapters 26,27,28, is from the beginning of Jesus' death and ends with the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  Jesus tells everyone that he will be crucified, he will die, and then he will be risen from the dead.  This is amazing, how he would die for you and me! The abuse he took for us, he loves us that much. Fine time to sit down and read this to someone and share his love with someone else.

     God Bless all of you, we hope you have a wonderful day in the Lord. We will pray for all of you.  Here is our prayer request this month: The Haitian Christian Education Center, the teachers, the children, sponsorships, groups to come, our finances to travel home this summer, the next school year, playground equipment, Gabriel's adoption, our residency.
