We Thank God everytime we think of you!

Dear friends, family and supporters who view our blog. We are very thankful for you and appreciate your love and support. We especially appreciate it when you remember to pray for us!

We wish you all a blessed Thanksgiving with your loved ones. We will be celebrating tomorrow with another Haitian/American family at 4:30PM and hope to play some games after dinner.

Thanksgiving at Quisqueya Christian School

Every year at QCS, everyone at the school chips in and buys food to put together food baskets for the Haitian workers that keep the school going such as the maintenance staff, cleaning staff, etc. This year we all got involved as Joy is on the student council that organized this event and the rest of us spent a few hours packing the food up into individual boxes for each family.

In addition, Joy came up with the idea of buying "Atomic clocks" for each classroom in the school so that every classroom would have the same time (Several times last year she got into trouble for being "late" because the clocks in each class were different!"). The studen council adopted this idea and raised funds to purchase the clocks, which will be installed in the classrooms this week!

Also, Joy played the bass and Ricky played the drums in chapel this morning at QCS, using ther musical talents to praise the Lord.

This week

Richard has had a cold this week, but has still kept going most of the time, with a few naps squeezed in.

TREC
The planning for the Christmas time TREC has been coming along. Three different committees are working on different aspects of it. The "curriculum" is being worked on.

Cybercafe
The cybercafe is getting more customers everyday. Richard has an intern working with him, Lucas, who helped with appointments with local schools. Students from these schools tend to come in and use the cybercafe, so they are trying to set up special arrangements as well as computer classes.

Thanksgiving
We are sad that we won't be able to get together with our CrossWorld co-workers this Thanksgiving, but we will be sharing it with some American teachers, and one of them even has an imported turkey through the Agape Ministry!

And...only 26 days 'til Grace comes here for Christmas!
(PS, please pray that she gets her renewed passport in time!)

Praise the Lord - We got paid for the truck

Today I feel as though a great burden was lifted off my back - a burden as heavy as a box truck!

We got paid for the truck today and will transfer the title to the new owners on Monday.

A big thanks to everyone who helped with the project, especially Gerhard and those who donated equipment and helped pack the truck.

The computers are being used in Haitian schools, the laptops are being used in a cybercafé, and much soccer equipment has been distributed, and many Haitians are thanking God because of the sacrifice of many at Crossing Community Church and other churches and individuals! To God be the Glory!
