we want to stay with YOU this summer...

I admit, this usually only applies to those who promise freezers full of ice cream! But this summer, we're looking for a different kind of place to stay. From around June 2nd until around July 15th, we are looking for places to speak!

This is the situation: We have 45 men and women at Emmaus Biblical Seminary that pay 1/5 of what it costs to educate, feed, and house them. If we charged the students more than 20% of these costs, many, if not all, of our brothers and sisters would be unable to attend. The other 80% of each students tuition, roughly $2000 US a year (significantly less than Matt and I paid for a year at Bible school!), has to be raised.

A large part of my job here is focused on this. I get to know the students, take their pictures, document and translate their testimonies, create promotional material for each them, and try to partner each student with one full, or several partial, scholarships.

The students cannot afford the full cost, and Emmaus cannot continue to train pastors, missionaries, evangelists, Bible teachers and Christian leaders without the full cost coming in.


SO, this summer, Matt, Lily and I are hoping to speak (or gurgle, as is the case with Lily) absolutely everywhere we can on behalf of the students of Emmaus Biblical Seminary. We are looking for churches, families, organizations, businesses, camps, small groups, etc. to allow us to come and share what God is doing here in Haiti, at EBS, and in the lives of our students with the intention of partnering (in ANY amount or frequency) with one or more of these 45 students!

Not only is this an awesome opportunity to form a partnership with one of the men or women God is using here to spread His Light in this dark country, but it also will allow Emmaus to continue to to spread the much-needed Gospel throughout Haiti. We have JUST enough support right now to get by, and no-where-near enough support to move to the new seminary site next year or to expand any kind of ministry.

Matt and I believe wholeheartedly that this work is God's work...He's got His fingerprint all over the school and the lives of our students and staff, and we need your help to make this ministry blossom and continue. We cannot even put into words what a blessing it has been, and continues to be, to work alongside of these Godly men and women...We want to offer you that same opportunity.

PLEASE talk to your churches, your families, your co-workers and friends, and email me if we can come and share this awesome ministry with you this summer! staceyhaiti@gmail.com

$166 dollars a month for Bible courses, room and board may not be a lot of money...But we are seeing it, firsthand, make life-transforming differences for hundreds and hundreds of people across Haiti.

(besides, we want to see you!!!)

Matt's mom made it here safely today along with two other women to share with the missionaries in Cap-Haitien a "Spa Week" of haircuts, massages, and manicures!

We also have some exciting projects brewing with our students for Easter Break....stay tuned!
