Eat more chicken!!

                                                   The first completed chicken coop!!!

As of today, August 15, 2012, four chicken coops have been completed!  The families are so excited to see progress for their new capital venture taking shape.  The first baby chicks, just one day old, are set to arrive on August 25.  The other six chicken coops will need to be completed before then. 

The second chicken coop.  Dad is off helping build another chicken coop.

Exciting news!!  The week after August 25, we will begin the process all over with 14 new families.  Thank you to our loving Heavenly Father, GVCM, Kore Foundation, Fish Ministries, and the Kellogg Foundation for partnering with our family in helping bring jobs to these Haitian families.  Providing food lasts for one meal, but self-sustainability lasts a lifetime!

The third chicken coop.

Thank you to all of our prayer and financial supporters!! This was not part of our original plan, but God knew that you would not only be bringing the joy of God's Word to this area through the radio and library, but also be helping these Christian families provide food for their families.

Do you want to learn about sponsoring a chicken coop family?

A $3,000 donation will provide a chicken coop for one family, which will then be reinvested in another family once that loan is paid off.

Happenings in Haiti

 Linda is telling this man that Jesus died for him.  He said that he is
not ready to accept Jesus, but we gave him a radio that will
continue to tell him about Christ.

Nikki telling people about Jesus and handing out solar radios that
are pre-tuned to Radio Vision Global 4VEN.

Our church posse!!  We are loaded up and headed to church!

Sweet Yolanda!!  This is Linda's one year old daughter.  We get to play with
her almost everyday!!

Kevin working in the radio station, surrounded by orphans!!

We delivered the first fifty solar radios!! What a joy it was to ask people if they listen to the radio, and to hear them say, "Wi, mwen tande Radio Vision Global!" "Yes, I listen to Radio Vision Global!" This station is making a positive impact in this community!! Several people recognized Nikki from his voice. He didn't really want people to know who he was, but too late, he is a star now! One lady ran up to us and said that she loved listening to the English show. I was so excited to hear her say that she listened to my show! 

God has the Victory!

Yesterday we went to visit Whitnise. She was a teacher here at GVCM. She just got married last week in the mass wedding. We went to see her sweet two week old baby boy. As you go up the driveway to GVCM, there is a Y. To go to GVCM you go right. To get to her house you go left and follow the road, past the voodoo house with the red flag out front, until it dead ends at her house. The house ... is tiny, about 10x10, with a rough dirt floor, a curtain for a door, and chickens that come in and out of the house. Her baby is so cute and tiny! As I was holding the baby, Whitnise told Linda that I am the marran. That means I am the godmother! What an honor! Now my prayers are being lifted on high for this tiny child of God!! He has disease, hunger, and spiritual darkness to combat, but I know that Christ has the victory! I pray that praises to God on our radio station will change that area that is less than half a mile away! We are battling the prince of this world, but we know the winner!!!

Busy week for the radio station!

We are busy in Mirebalais this week! A marriage seminar is being held at the orphanage this week. Kevin is recording the pastor of the marriage conference and he will be playing it on the radio starting tomorrow. We are praying that many marriages in this area will be mended and/or made stronger through this seminar. We recorded the church in Mirebalais Sunday morning. It will play on the radio this Sunday night at 6:00. We also have a soccer tournament going on this week. Today the orphanage played against the school that meets at the orphanage. The school won, 2-0. Tomorrow the team from our neighborhood plays. We will be cheering them on! We plan on recording the final game of the tournament and playing it on the radio. God's work continues!
