Kelly’s pretty amazing with her ability to pull off such a large, themed, spiritual, sensitive, holistic (touching the whole person) Woman’s Conference. From it’s original conception to bringing it to fruition. And having the gift of bringing in so many people into the circle to make it all happen, as a team. She’s good!

This is my favorite picture from our July/Aug trip to Haiti. My wife Kelly, along with 15 other ladies went to minister to 250 Haitian ladies at a women’s conference. They gave them a manicure & hand & arm massage. They loved it…both those giving & receiving. Way to go Kel & Lady team.

I just returned from Haiti. I accompanied my wife, daughter, daughter-in-law & 16 others to do a woman’s conf. You haven’t lived until you hear 250 Haitian women worshipping for over an hour, hands raised, singing from their toes up, jumping up & down, tears, wild, beautiful. I’d go sit in the back, shut my eyes & just listen to God getting blessed!

Well, just got our new router up & running, so have email now. Ladies will start coming tomorrow. Today we went to a Catholic orphanage. They actually take kids in who are malnourished or sick and care for them till there well. S we all got to hold babies for a few hours. Balloons, smiles, wet diapers, more smiles. It was great. Went over to the hospital in town. Handed out toys, glow in the dark bracelets, and prayed for many folks. Great time.
I hope all is well with you all. Everyone doing great here.

<– my fav pic of diff statues in Thailand. Looks like me after Sushi.

I appreciate you praying for Greg G & Myself as we fly out on Sun eve to Thailand. I have the privilege of being “guest speaker” for Partners Relief & Development’s staff & families at a resort in Chiang Mai, Thailand. PTL no hiking this time!

Included below is our itinerary that we’d appreciate you praying through daily. Greg & I have had the privilege to travel to many places together in our world. He is truly my armor bearer. Drenching me in prayer, always an incredible asset to me as a right hand man, always used by God in the lives of those we get to minister to.

The theme of our conference is on “Gardening”. Which, the bible is full of great verses on this topic. Gal.6:9 NLT So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

This is during pastor Ilioberts church dedication. He had about 1000 people in attendance. The Mayor was there & the head Judge & a bunch of pastors were there from many different denominations to support him. It truly was a celebration of 14 years 2 months & 16 days to get it completed(Iliobert said). They had 3 different choirs from different churches that were amazing…even ended with a rendition of the famous “Alleluia” (Handel’s) which was out of the celestial park! Then back at the compound they had a sit down dinner for about 200 of the guests. It included about 2 doz youth serving in waiters uniforms, white tables linens, it was beautiful. We had fresh chicken & goat…how do I know it was fresh..pics to follow! :)

When my dad died a few years ago he left my bro’s & sis’s some inheritance $. I wanted to use part of it on his behalf. My heart was to do something that was lasting. “Did you know 1 billion people in our world don’t have access to clean drinking water?” So a well it was. Well prices went up so I talked with 2 friends & we came up with the $ to do 2 wells. This one is at a friends church(Waquine) that I have had the blessing of teaching for 15 years here in Haiti. The name of his church is Savanette. We showed up for some pics only to find about 20 people there using it. They said they used to walk for 2 hours to get water…now 150 families in their area use this well now! That was so cool. So took a pic with my naked peeps & here it is!
