Nancy, Tony, and I had the joy of celebrating the Onaville Church Family 3rd anniversary and the 1st year of the children’s home & school in spite of Hurricane Matthew. Pray for Pastor Olistin as he continues to provide food and shelter to the 3500 church family members who lost everything in the storm and 10 churches damaged or destroyed. Pastor Olistin has shared that replacing the church roofs will cost $5000 each.
Dr Mark & I returned last week from a short medical ministry visit. Dr Mark spent 2 days with Dr Theodore at his Hospital in PAP. Dr Theodore is preparing a cost estimate to bring his staff to conduct a 3 day clinic in Onaville along with our team members doctors and nurses. Dr Theodore is passionate about providing medical care to this community at a medical clinic to be constructed and operated as a non-profit clinic. Pray that God will open hearts to pledge/donate the $50k construction cost and $3-5k monthly operating costs.
Attached is a copy of our Winter Break Trip Application for your use and distribution to candidate team members. Just think, in 3 1/2 months we’ll return to Onaville to minister to our children, Church family, and community.
Our trip information meeting is this Sunday 12:30 pm in the Wildwood Baptist Church Conference room. Hope you can join us and be prepared to share a 5 minute story of your ministry story. Invite others to join us for this first meeting. It will be important for all team members to attend all 3 team meetings in December, January, and February to prepare for team Helping Without Hurting.
Bondye Bon Toutan!
