Brothers and more to come...

The goal of our instruction is LOVE

from a pure heart and a

good conscience and a

sincere faith.

1 Timothy 1:5

And THAT would be these three! These are three of our fellow professors at Emmaus Biblical Seminary, and they are also working to receive their Master's Degree from Wesley Biblical Seminary using the same online program Matt is using. More than all of that, they continue to be three Godly men that we can count on--for good advice, for cultural explanations, for strong leadership, Biblical sermons, holy conversations, laughter and to be faithful and bold in the Lord.

Luke, Bright and Paul have pure hearts, good consciences and sincere faiths, and we continue to be honored that the Lord has us working alongside of men such as these. They are the men that we had prayed for in coming to Haiti: Godly leaders, clearly chosen by God, who are committed and capable to train Haitian men and women in Christ! When we leave Haiti, and I mean this in the best way possible, it will be because of these three men and those like them.

October 4th, they leave with Matt for their 2nd residency session at Wesley in Jackson, Mississippi. Together, these four are learning more about the Bible and simultaneously teaching more of the Bible, preaching more of the Bible and (praise the Lord!) looking more and more like Christ each week that passes. THANK YOU, Wesley Biblical Seminary, and SO many of you, for making it possible for Matt, Paul, Bright and Luke to do this!

Meanwhile, first session is already over at Emmaus and we jump into session 2 tomorrow. My first year guys are finally beginning to warm up, laughing uncontrollably today (and thus NOT saving face) when one mustached associate pastor-student answered, "Yes, yes I AM a woman!" with much conviction.

I have a beautiful testimony to share with you regarding a third year student (Petit, Lori!), an awesome report on Matt's "Monday's In Town" class from this week, and reports of some new ministries up and coming! Stay tuned...

With ALL our hope fixed firmly on the living God...
