MINISTRY NEEDS 2016

I know we put a list of the Christmas ideas, but here's God has given us for 2016 and beyond.

     -we have the opportunity to rent a building (right across the
             street from our existing mission base) to start the
             Discipleship & Training Center again.  It is an
             amazing opportunity, but we will need funds to build
             desks, put up chalkboard(s), and get things up and
             running.  Also, the rent will be $3500 for the first year.
   
     -we feel led to help the community school in Bas-
           Citronniers (very remote) with some of the needs
           they have there such as adding to their goat raising
           program (they need land, shelter, etc... for the goats
           they already have been raising to sell and they will
           eventually need a new roof for the school building).  We
           recently helped them with repairing the existing roof, but
           that was only a temporary fix.  The supporting structure
           for the roof is really rotted and needs replacing in the
           next few years (if not sooner).   We would also like to help
           them invest in solar power too since they currently rely on
           a generator for power but that requires gas. These will
           help insure they are able to be self-sustaining in the future.

     -God is leading and directing us to continue to look for land
          to purchase once our legal status in Haiti is finalized ( we
          were told it should be done by MARCH- yay!).  This land
          will be used to build our mission base and Training &
          Discipleship Center where we will do many types of
          community outreach (Bible Studies, classes in English/
          literacy/nutrition/etc. as well as various seminars for
          pastors, to teach job skills, and to reach our local
          area through education and discipleship).  In Haiti it is
          difficult to find someone to finance land, so we will need
          to have the bulk of the funding to purchase the land, then
          we will raise funds to build.  Land we have been seeing
          for sale that will serve our needs will be about $5000 US
          per acre.

Please consider one of these opportunities when thinking about your end-of-year donation.  God is moving in mighty and FAST ways lately in the ministry.  We are blessed to be part of His work in Haiti (and stateside).  **there are other aspects of the ministry that are in need of continued funding (ie:  the former orphan girls who have left Life is Wealth -- we help support them with education and occasional food/supplies and discipleship) but these three are the biggest ones.  A donation to "greatest need" will be put into a general account to be used as needs arise within the ministry.  We would LOVE for you to come to Haiti yourself and see first-hand the ministry in action.  Until then, continue to follow our blog, facebook and instagram for photos and updates.  Thank you and GOD BLESS this Christmas season!
