teachers...


Stacey's mom was a teacher. Stacey's sister is a teacher. Two of her aunts are teachers. And on that day of college graduation, we both sweared that we were DONE with the classroom. We should have been more detailed :) Teaching, we are beginning to realize, is a whole different form of learning, and we are loving it. Pictured here is Matt with part of his class. Matt is now teaching four hours a day, all in Creole: an hour of Hebrew and three hours of Matthew. He will start Isaiah soon, and then Psalms in 2008. His guys continue to come up to his desk after class and thank him, every single day, for what he shared with them that they had never heard before, and will now be using in their churches.

this is so exciting to us, to realize that what we are teaching during the week is being taken directly out into Haiti each weekend and shared in churches and villages across the country!

Stacey is preaching in chapel today, her first major public presentation in Creole. Be in prayer for her, and please keep praying for us both as we prepare and present classes based on the Gospel, the life-transforming Gospel!

  1. How rewarding to know you are making a difference! Showing them things in scripture they have never known is life transforming and it will have a ripple effect; first the pastors, then their congregations and then to the unchurched their congregations interact with on a daily basis. I see revival for Cap Hatian. Prasie God!

  2. Teaching can be addictive. Be blessed and know that the Lord has gone before you to make the road straight. Praying for you to continue to be a light.
