Update from Haiti- Nov/Dec

Dear Brother and Sister in the Lord,

We do thank God for your constant prayers and financial help. We hope all of you are doing well.

This school year some of our academy students came late due to financial difficulties buying uniforms, books and etc.. Some parents asking us to give them considerations to let their kids attend their classes. However, considering that many of them our church goers. It is hard for us to refuse. Having these difficulties and not stopping the school operation. We are asking your prayers that God will supplies the needs.

After the earthquake, things became more expensive. Our teachers asked a considerations to pay them a little more. The Christian school is a good tool in Haiti reaching the children and the parents in the Lord. Although many Christian believed that Haiti is under God’s correcting process due to their fore-fathers covenant with evil spirit over 200 years ago. Meanwhile in our ministries, we saw a lot of conversion, baptism and kids in our academy grow up serving the Lord.

Our building project keep on going and hopefully we will finish by December. Since we do not have an engineer with this big project. I ended up working and supervising everyday. This help to speed the work and save some money to further the construction.

Since 3 months, we baptized 28 people. Our attendance was good. We project that we should extend the church auditorium very soon. We are excited how the Lord moves to our lives and to the ministries inspite of all difficulties in the country.

Please pray for incoming leaders to run the country next year. Last November 28, we had a presidential and legislative election but it turn out with massive cheating. We pray the Lord will intervene to stabilized the country.

This coming December our program are the following:

1. Giving gifts to all first time visitors.

2. Giving gifts to those who bring visitors.

3. December 15 is our school Christmas program and thanksgiving.

4. December 24-26 we will have church Christmas program activities.

5. December 31 we will have overnight prayers and consecration.

Finally, we covet your faithfulness in prayers and support until Christ return. We love you all and MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2011. GOD BLESS.

In HIS name,
Leny and Marjorie Funtecha
