that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
Hebrews 4:16
"A God Perspective" has been my prayer the last several days in light of every circumstance, from playing with the babies to receiving news to preparing finances or for class...How does God see this? What is His perspective? What does He want mine to be?
It seems simple, but man, it has really been revolutionizing my thought and heart life these past few days! I have even been surprised several times by my very-different-than-usual response to several situations, feeling far more grounded and joyful in Him as I work (and it is) to be like Him.
As we draw boldly to His throne this week, we need your help!
...prayers...
We thought we had a generator problem...then thought it was an inverter problem....then thought it was a pump problem...and realized this morning that we actually think there is a major water leak. Somewhere. This leak could be causing all of our other problems. Please be praying for Matt and Maxi as they try to find the underground source of the problem, and as they try to fix it. Big project.
Internet...We're having some big issues (don't think the water leak is at fault here :) that's Matt's working to remedy...please pray the Lord will supernaturally help with his understanding of the whole thing and to fix it.
Lucner, Vilmer and Matt leave on Monday for Jackson for their final two-week intensive residency for their master's. Please be praying for their travels, for their time, and for their families in their absence (especially for Lucner, whose wife is expecting their first child ANY day).

Bibles
While most of Emmaus' administration is in the States the next two weeks, EBS is taking a fall break. Because this break does not coincide with any major events in the life of the church, like Christmas or Easter, our students are "extra" available to participate in special ministry, which was great news to Belony!
The second week, students and Belony will be working with Civil, fourth year student who has recently started a church in a zone called Breda. As a new church plant, there is a lot of work and training to be done, as well as continued evangelism in the area.
If you're interested, email me (staceyhaiti@gmail.com). Pray about it...If you feel led to be a part of all that we're expecting Him to do over this fall break, this is such a tangible need. $8. One Bible. $40. Five Bibles. We'll go to town on Friday and buy however many Bibles we have the money for and send them out with Belony. Thank you!

Finally, we have several staff members who are very ready to begin doing their masters, helping Emmaus in it's accreditation process, helping bring better, more qualified teaching to our classrooms, and helping greatly in the formation of men and women for Him in Haiti.
Vilmer, Guenson, Matt, Bryan and Lucner have all been either students or professors at Wesley...now we're looking for another sister seminary!
