This past month has been really hard. First we had a group come in November from Valley Baptist Church in Lakeland, Minnesota, during the thanksgiving holiday. They helped fix the Land Rover. Also the head pastor from Valley Baptist lead a pastor and leadership conference. We were all very blessed by their presence. Thank you Valley Baptist Church for all of your help.It is a real blessing but hard work to take care of the team and to have transportation and to get my kids to school. It just can be hard. So then we take care of the team and I think okay now I will have time for a few days to get a break.

But then my adopted son Tipaul started to go to night school to be a mechanic. So then I had to take the kids to school at 5:30 and would come back and try to relax while trying to help my wife with her seminary work. So then a few days pass and I then I think "Okay now maybe I will get a break for the weekend". Nope then we had a revival every night for a week. It just can be trying on you when you are taking the kids then relax for an hour then get up then go to a revival every night. The youth did a really great job doing the revival here.
I preached on Tuesday night, Pastor Canes ( my associate pastor), and Pastor Clairmont were speakers during the week. Also there was a powerful testimony by a man named Wilner about how the devil was trying to kill him. It was a long testimony and I revealed to him that God has a call on his life to preach. I prayed for him along with my wife Mona, that he maybe delivered and know the promises he has with Christ. That the sickness will never return in Jesus name. We will go and evangelize the village of Boucan on December 27th. This is the area that the mission site is located and where we want to start our orphanage in the near future.

I will resume the Men's group. We haven't met for 3 weeks and I just haven't felt right about it. I am glad that we can get started again to build up the men so we can have the future elders of the church, and also to build up leaders to be able to go out and tell others about Jesus. If you would like to support our men's group please contact me by Facebook or email. We need support of about 20 dollars a week to be able to have refreshment for our group. This group is life changing, it encourages the men to come when we have refreshments. It is nice to have a secure area where we can talk about what we are going through and where we would like to be.
This past week an anonymous donor gave 200 dollars so a single mother could pay for her kids to go to school. She asked me about a week ago if I could find someone to pay for her kids so that they don't kick her kids out of the school. I am so thankful that God had moved to be able to help this family in need. I know many of you say what can I do? You think you can't really make a difference in anyone's life but this family was so thankful because they had no answer.

Keep us in your prayers this hasn't been an easy Christmas this year. My parents and family had sent us money this year to help and we are very thankful. I always want my Christmas celebration to be perfect and I never seem to get it right. We just had our dell give me a blue screen and my little aspire one laptop will need a screen and keyboard. It just seems like the devil wants to attack us through what we have. Our solar panels were accidentally broken during our revival because we hadn't found a place to put it. Even though he does this God always has an answer. Please remember to give this Christmas season and know that Jesus was the ultimate gift for your and your family. God Bless you all, Merry Christmas and Happy New year.
