Hello friends and family,
This morning we taught Children’s Church to 70+ kids (and 4 dogs) about Moses and the burning bush and how it is important to be obedient to God when He speaks. We played lots of games, sang songs, colored, had snacks and had an overall fun couple of hours.
After lunch, we had some down time and visited the beach before coming back to attend a “fancy, sophisticated” Paris- themed party for 3 of the Castillo girls and 12 of their friends. There was lots of makeup, glitter, and pink fun for all.
Tomorrow you can be in prayer as we start the first of 3 days of studies for women in town: Revelation study in the morning, Parenting class in the early afternoon, and the new seeker/discipleship ladies class in the later afternoon. Thanks for lifting us up while we’re here.

Hello
This is Colleen. It was another wonderful day in the Mole. Since it is Sunday we had church for adults and children. While the ladies from PVBC worked with the children, I went to the adult church. Such a wonderful service. There was lots of singing, which my husband knows is just what I love. Some of the songs were familiar and I was able to sing along while looking at the words in Kreyol. A young lady sitting next to me was kind enough to find the songs and share the words with me. It is so nice to be able to share with brothers and sisters in Christ even when we don’t speak the same language. I really enjoyed the service.
Later in the day there was a big fancy party for three of the Castillo children. It was a Paris theme. The girls looked beautiful all dressed up. Some of the girls from the orphanage came to share the festivities. It was so much fun to celebrate with them.
Keep praying for all of us as we minister. We have lots more to share with the people here. I am happy to be able to do this with the ladies from PVBC. They are a wonderful group of ladies who have made me feel very welcome in their group.
Goodnight.
Colleen

I will be praying for you constantly tomorrow! Thank you for being willing to share life and hope with the ladies you’ll be with. You are such a LIGHT to them and I know God will be with you.
Give Sondley some hugs and love from me! I know you will, Betty, since we are on his “Family Tree” and he holds a special place in our hearts. 🙂
Praise God for you lovely ladies doing the work of our Heavenly Father! I will continue to be in prayer for you all! Much love Betty!!!
I don’t know who looks like their having the most fun, the ladies or the kids. I do know that tomorrow you ladies will be doing what God has instructed each of you to do, as you teach and witness to these beautiful people of Haiti. God bless each of you for your heart and willingness to share his Love.
I love and miss you Betty and I know that your heart is open to where God is leading you. Have a Bless day as you start the study on Revelations.
Praying for you all this morning (Monday). I know you are nervous about your teaching today, but remember God’s promise that the Holy Spirit will give you the words to say. I’m confident He will use each of you in a very special way to touch lives of so many. We pray for hungry minds and open hearts as you guide and encourage. Love you all.
Hi PV ladies. Glad to hear you all made it and are loving God on all of those people. We are praying that God will use you all to reach those ladies today.
Lisa, things are going well at home. Gabe finished his project and looks great in his Jefferson costume. He won his basketball game on a last second shot by Tommy. We miss you! The picture of you surrounded by kiddos brought a tear to my eye as I know moments like that are filling your heart
We love you very much.
Peter
Praying fervently for every lady to encounter Christ through your teaching!!
It looks like everyone is having a great time! God bless each of you as you share your ministry to the people of Haiti. Gayla, thank you for always including me on this journey ! I enjoy reading about what you are doing and looking at the pictures of the smiling faces! Praying for all of you !
Sounds like a wonderful Sunday and a fun Paris party. Continued prayers for all.
Sarah, we see you are the minister to the children and the dogs as usual. We are praying everyday for you and love you. Mom and Dad
