It is working!

The Farm!

If Chloe had a choice we would live on a zoo.  She loves her animals and loves to take care of them.  So that is why when we told her she was going to Uncle Duco and Aunt Joyce's house she was super excited.  They mainly raise calves, but also have a dog, chickens and cats.  She loves to visit farms and see all kinds of animals.  So yesterday we made the trek north to almost Grand Valley.  Cornelius totally expected to see snow on the ground, that is how cold it felt to him, after leaving Haiti's 40 degree weather 3 days earlier.  Chloe knows that Duco raises his cows for meat and she is good with that because she said..."I like meatballs."  Here are some pictures of Chloe on the farm...

Chloe jumped real high and got a bird's eye view of Uncle Duco's farm!

"You may try to eat me now but in the end you will be
nothing but meatballs on my plate!  I will get the last laugh!"

Lots of cows!

Geography Challenge

Today was the first annual Geography Challenge at Adoration Christian Centre.  The grades 4 - 6 gathered in the main hall where they were then asked a series of questions.  There were 60 questions all together.  Some questions dealt with the country of Haiti, pertaining to some of its fruits, sports, and geographical features. Other questions related to the world like the contitents, oceans and countries.

Here are some of the questions, see how you do:

1.  How many continents are there?
2.  What is the largest country in the world?
3.  What country has the most people?
4.  What is the name of the soccer stadium in Haiti?
5.  What is the name of the imaginary line that divides the earth in 2 halves?
6.  Name the largest lake in Haiti.
7.  Name the ocean north of Hispanola.

Plants

On Monday the whole school participated in making their own gardens.  The students of the school were asked to bring in a plastic bottle.  With the help of the teachers they cut a hole in the side of the container and then had drainage holes drilled in the bottom.  Each grade got to mix their soil with fertilizer.  Each student then picked the type of seed they wanted to put in the container.  The containers were hung on the wall were the students can keep an eye on them to see if they are growing or not.

Pray with us this week!

Is any one of you in trouble?  He should pray.  Is anyone happy?  Let him sing songs of praise.  Is any one of you sick?  He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.  And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up.  If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.  Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.  The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.  James 5: 13 – 16.

We are thankful that the mayor of Delmas has declared this week to be prayer week in Port au Prince.  Throughout this week there will be prayer services held at the mayor’s office and in people’s churches.  People are encouraged to spend time in prayer, dedicating issues to our God in prayer.  People are praying for the government, for the health, for hunger, for faith, for clean drinking water, for stability in the country and many other issues.  We at Adoration love this idea and are going to spend time in prayer with our staff and our students. 

We would love it if you could join us this week and pray for the issues mentioned above but specifically for the three issues mention down below for Adoration.  Please dedicate some specific time this week in your homes, at your work place, as you drive or wherever you are to pray with us. 

1.       Registration for the school and the centre.

2.       Land purchase for building a school.

3.       Housing project: building of houses for families that still live in tents or need their houses repaired.

‘Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.’ 1 Thessalonians 5:16 – 18.

Painting and moving!

Once again we are in the process of moving and painting.  For the 3rd time in almost nine months we are moving and rearranging things again.  Yesterday I had some youth from a local church, Kati, Cadeau, and Randy and Karen help.  Thanks for the help guys we really appreciate it. 

ps:  Chloe: hope you like your room colour!  Love you!

Medical team!

Sitting before them and waiting for the clinic to begin was about 150 people.  These people came with all kinds of illnesses and are seeking some help from the doctors and nurses that have flown in from New Hampshire and Vermont.
