CHRISTIANVILLE - January, 1986
Dear Friends,

Our Christmas-month mail arrived at mid-January and it was almost like
having Christmas all over again.

We hadn't had time to take our tree

down so we enjoyed the reading of mail in festive spirits.

Missionar

ies learn patience on the field...things just don't always happen as
you like.

One thing for sure, you were in our hearts continually

throughout the season and your generous and loving gifts were truly a
blessing.
Progress is exciting again as we begin the new year.

The dental clinic

is getting a roof now, and most wonderful of all, the new school build

ing foundations have been going down.

The time is just right...it is

God's time and we believe with all of our hearts that i t will^be a real

ity this very year.

How glad our children are!

God has blessed with some lovely help over the past two months and we
are grateful for these short term missionaries.

Now we look for

ward to Stuart Kelly and his wife to join our farm program for a year.

Isn't the Lord good!
As you no doubt have heard, Haiti is having some political problems and

they have kept the schools closed for a little while.

Our big children

have been in our home daily working on crafts and having a wonderful
time.

Some have made peanut butter, some are polishing shells, some are

making native straw crafts and many of the girls are sewing and embroi

dering items for sale.

They are doing beautiful work and our little

craft shop is bringing in funds for purchasing more materials.
chosen our trade name.. .HAITICHAFT.

Do you like it?

We have

Two of the girls

work in the kitchen and cook egg sandwiches each day for all the working

kids.

The 4H garden crew really get hungry.

Their garden is beautiful

and food is rolling into the kitchen...small amounts, yes, but gradually
increasing.

It has great promise.

Fortunately wa have been able to feed

all of our children even though school is closed.

Thank you once again for your loving support.

Please remember us in your

prayers during these critical political days here.

His protection and care.
In Christian love,

May He bless you, too.

—

IN THE BEGINING...GOD!

This was the original approach to the barren lands of what now is Christianville.
For several years we drove through this rough and rocky river to accomplish our
dreams of helping our needy neighbors. Your prayers, support and love have been
our constant companions as we have labored and have found God's blessing on
that labor. The result is Christianville - what many people term as God's miracle.
We share with you a recent testimony written for the Rotory Club of Port-auPrince by one of its members:

CHRISTIANVILLE TODAY
it wasn't a follow-up visit, a routine check up or anything of the kind. It so happen

ed that Mrs. Herget called me for some business reason and I went to her place
and opened my eyes when I remembered I had written about Christianville four
years ago.

Just as was to be expected from good and dedicated managers like Jim and Carol
Herget, most of the projects started 4 years ago were successfully completed.
The fish pono is a success, the cattle are thriving; I did not have time to see the
chickens and pigs.
Beside a school with an enrollment of 580 children from 5 to 18, there is a dental

clinic, a medical building, a main administration and residential building, recrea

tion field, fish pond, plants, trees, flowers, lawns and greenery all around making
it an island of peace and tranquillity about 15 miles from the noise and turmoil of
Port-au-Prince.

1 have never come face to face with a dream, but I'll go along with the popular say

ing, "It looks like a dream come true."
And if this were the case, it would be not only sheer day-dreaming but a dream

sprinkled with a solid dose of hard work, solid principles and a never-ending faith
in God.

Frankly to sum up my feelings, I say it renewed my faith in the possibilities of
humans in accomplishing good and worthy work when they put their will, their
minds and their hearts into it. This is the feeling I got at Christianville. I am sure
anyone will feel the same — just like taking a hot shower after spending a day in
the visible and invisible dirtiness of the city.
Guy S. Martin

CHILDREN • THE HEART-THROB OF CHRISTIANVILLE
Kids are the answer.

The answer to many questions about Christianville. How did it happen... why ?
what of the future...yes, many questions. The kids turn us on. The kids turn on our
whole staff. When a little guy only reaching to Sam's waist looks up and says,
"Uncle Sam, you can have me...Uncle Sam, you can have ALLof me", Sam's heart
melts and his fuel tank fills up and his step is lighter for the day. When a little miss
smiles and asks Daddy Jim for the hymn book because she can now read, Daddy
Jim turns on and his step is quick as he goes to the house to find her a hymn
book.

He shares her joy and presses on.

When Mommy Herget faces 125 teenagers on Sunday mornings • teens who eager
ly sit for an hour and a half for Bible Class, learning a new way of life, she feels en
couraged. It drives her on and on, caring, seldom tiring.
Yes, it is the children who make us all "tick". We watch them grow. We watch

them change...change from a life of hopelessness to bright and eager students.
Christianvilles' children of today are the hope of tomorrow. They will find a way to
roof their own houses with zinc instead of straw, to build a real home founded on

marriage and Christian principles, to give their children enough bread and a real
hope. We invite you to watch them grow, share our joys, have a part in their lives.
Our Sponsor program will give you your own child to care for. Our new school
building will give you an opportunity to open doors to other children who are
waiting, hoping and in dire need.

If we can help you to catch a glimpse of our beautiful children you will never be
the same. No, not after meeting guys like little Claude. At times when we see him
on the road we stop the car, pick him up, swing him around twice and give him a
hug, hop back in and hurry on. He knows he is loved. And we are "hooked".
Yes, and you, like we, will be "hooked". They will grab your heart like they have so
many already. And you also will become a part of the Christianville family.
Children...yes, they are the heart-throb of Christianville. Our hope. And theirs.

CHRISTIANVILLE SCHOOL BAND

School lile at Christianville is rich with activity. Boys respond well to band prac
tice and even better on their twice monthly performance in chapel on Sunday mor
nings. Broadening education for our children is our goal. It is beautiful to watch
young minds open tike a lovely flower. Really beautiful. But other muscles must
be used. too.

Agriculture is the real muscle builder and the rewards for the future in Haiti are

i

very promising. Below you see high-schooler Henry Claude bringing in his
treasure. He is the leader, one of three teachers that we are training for a 4H
group. They attend weekly classes after school and then teach the school

children. Their gardens are a delight and food has been rolling into the kitchen
•lovely tomatoes, egg plant, spinach, cucumbers, carrots, beans... fresh and good.
It brings personal joy to them and their parents are delighted with the program.
There is more.

Our latest program on Saturdays now
includes basket making, art classes
and tailoring. The boys are making
their first shirt and soon will be mak

ing trousers. Christianville Is like a
beehive on Saturdays and it is a real
fun day, too.

SAM STREU. OUR DEDICATED CO.WORKER

We have outgrown our present
building — we are well on the way
erecting our new classroom building
with dining hall and kitchen so that
we can help the many children around
us still longing for education and
food. Sam, our dedicated co-worker

since the inception of Christianville
in 1978, looks forward as eagerly as

we do for the completion of this unit.
His building skills find him either doing the work himself or supervising.

The girls have their own part in 4H.
They have been in sewing classes for
several years and the olders ones are

now doing professional work, it is
beautiful work and easy to sell. A lit
tle craft shop has been started in our
home but it is

now bursting the

seams. Here is a picture of a few of
the

items

pieces,

for

crochet

sale...embroidered

work,

homemade

peanut butter, shell lamps, paintings
by their teachers with the hope that
soon some will hang there made by

our

own

kids.

Lovely

dresses,

blouses and men's shirts are there for

sale, too. Proceeds go into materials
for more production.
And in the kitchen there are girls lear

ning to cook. This month they made
cookies filled with

heart-shaped

raison sauce for the church Mother's

Day reception. It sounds very simple
to our readers, but remember, these

are girls who have grown knowing
nothing except a small cook pot on a
wood fire in their yard. They are ex

cited about learning to cook and
bake. It is all so new to them.

Auntie is there, too, supervising and
teaching the girls to make cakes. And
she can't be beat! Auntie has been

cooking for the Christianville family,

guests and work teams for over 8
years. She is a Jamaican, a real mis
sionary who came with the family.
The girls love her, everybody does.

She keeps the family well, and plans
meals for the school kitchens along
with teaching the girls.
What a treasure!

Learning to work is an important part
of life at Christianville School.

establish an eye clinic at Christianville.

We have good reason to praise the Lord daily for His generous blessings. It is en-,

Dr. Virgil Ullom is our Dentist for Christianville Dental Clinic. He has provided
most of the equipment in our clinic and has organized our staffing for the past
four years. Hundreds of children have received excellent dental care and many
adults have been relieved of suffering.

In addition toourregular dental work, Dr. David Leever hasjoined ourstaffand for
over two years has provided orthodontal services. He comes regularly from Tam
pa, Florida.

This year Christianville has built a new dental clinic since the first one, a part of
the medical building, has become inadequate. A gift of $15,000. came from
F.A.M.E. for the clinic and with this great start our dentists were encouraged to
contribute both funds and equipment for the new building. We will now be able to
extend our services to many more children.

All of our school children have their teeth cleaned twice per yearand restored if

necessary. This is a beautiful way of telling them we love them and want the best
for them. In addition we have been able to serve many other children from nearby
Christian schools and orphanages.

SEMINAR TRAINING

Truly "light" has come to a lonely valley of beautiful Haiti, a valley of people in
various needs. We began tackling the needs by providing medical care and food

for the hungry. At he beginning of our second year we began church services -by
this ttme the people had felt the love of Jesus Christ expressed by meeting
physical needs. They responded to the message of salvation...and light, the
greatest of all lights, came into their hearts.

Now/ the church plays a wonderful role in the total program of Christianville.

Children grow up in the shadow of the church, playing, studying at night by the
only electric light available in thearea shining down from the brilliantly lit cross at

the top of the church building. Inside, the light of the Word brings peace, hope,
joy and salvation, salvation that means freedom from the curse of sin. Faces light
up with joy when truth reaches into hearts and singing bursts forth.

Teaching seminars for men handle deep subjects that search the soul. They are
held twice per year.

I

ORD

GROWING IN THE SHADOW OF THE CHURCH

Youth retreats find well over a hundred senior teens studying, praying, singing,

and learning a new way of life • real life. Sessions on Christian family living,
preparing youths for the future are an important part of the program.
Consider with us the time they spend...three full days from early morning until9 at

night. The evening sessions provide an evangelistic meeting and a religious film.
And youths must play...they end the third day with an afternoon soccer game and
a picnic supper.

But the church itself has a complete program of Sunday School, worship hour,

youth hour and evening evangelistic service. In the week time there is a Monday
night study and prayer hour for leaders, Tuesday a Bible study at the Saturday
Outpost, Wednesday night prayer and Bible study, Friday youth night, Saturday
preacher and teacher classes, and each morning a 5:30 a.m. prayer hour. Every
project of aid to our people is backed by prayer and the light of God's wonderful
Word.

We share words of a beautiful song with you;

"From a loving heavenly father to a world who knew him not
came a man of sorrows, Jesus Christ the Lord

In my wandering Jesus found me, touched my life with His
great love. And now He has become my sovereigh Lord."

Charge has come to many already and the
Word continues to draw men to Jesus

ched most families closest to our
Center, we began to reach out.
Farther and farther into the moun
tains we went, and more and more
little suffering ones we found. We
now have 400 children enrolled in
the program.
In our two mountain outreaches

donkeys carry food once per week,
food enough for a week. Nutrition
lessons are taught for the mothers

and a spiritual message provides
the "Bread of life" for all.

At Outreach No. 2 the people were
especially hungry for the Gospel.
Now. after a year and a half there
is a church and a school. Below
you can see our school teacher

with church members carrying
food for the school children. It is a
trip of two and a half hours on foot,

Christianville provides a minister
for the church each week and the

leader comes down to a weekly
training class for deacons and
Sunday School teachers.
We also provide seeds for the
farmers - seeds that have been too
expensive for many farmers to buy.

Here you see one of our most recent

patients at clinic...andheading for the
Nutrition

Center.

Below

children that were attending the
Nutrition Center for many months.

We began our Kindergarten so that
we could continue the food program

for them and to keep them well. The

government Nutrition program under
which we operate does not allow the
little ones to remain in the program

after the age of 5 years or after the
child reaches an acceptable weight.
Aren't those fat little faces gorgeous?
Christianville's total feeding program

provides food for over a thousand
children and some elderly folk.

STAFFING IS IMPORTANT

With growing Christianville comes a growing need for good workers. Our own
boys have been candidates for roles with the mission but each one has been en
couraged to be free to make their own choices for life. Some have chosen to
return to their native Jamaica. Wayne and Chris have opted for evangelistic work
in Petit Goave, and Frankie and Nicholas are working with Christianville. David is
still in school and helps weekends. Frankie wastrained to bea mason and in addi
tion to this work does many other jobs. Nick chose a job with the pigs and has
become quite experienced with the farrowing and checking on pig farmers in

outlying areas. Yes, staffing is important and we arethankful for God's provision.

Eight years ago while searching out our land given to us by the government of
Haiti, our boys "discovered" a beautiful spring shaded by heavy foliage. When
Mom responded to the boy's excited call, they knelt down by the water. Mom's
words were, "Boys, Idon't know what God intends this for but let us give thanks
for it." Together they knelt bye the cool water and thanked God.
Today this lovely never-failing spring has
provided a huge fish-pond which we often

i

call "Lake Christianville". It was built with
funds from the Canadian Embassy. A recent

harvest done by the United Nations brought

3400 pounds of fish overflowing Christianville's freezers and filling the tummies of a
thousand children.

New smaller ponds are now being built and
supervised by United Nations to regulate
the steady production of fish for the entire
feeding program. The first one completed
already has been stocked with a new
species of Talapia from Panama. Experiments are being carried out and training
classes are being held here. Our own
teenagers from Christianville School are

.

now digging their own ponds - 20 of them
-and United Nations has promised to stock

them.

our "soup-kitchen" daily. A good plate of

are too feeble to come, we send food by our

great aid in our feeding program.

From its beginning. Christianville has welcomed visitors. We have been encourag
ed by them, helped, taught, loved and warned of pitfalls. We love our visiting
friends. Hospitality is important to us. I guess, mostly because we love people
and want to share our joys with them.

And our visiting friends share much with us. Through these few short years
volunteers - teams, singles, pairs of people have come to labor. Teen Missions
sent our first team...others followed building clinic, staff houses. Nutrition

Center, chicken and pig houses, our beautiful Church building. Doctors, Dentists
have come; mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, secretaries, sewing teams, cooks,
farmers, pieachers. teachers.
We have been richly blessed.

YOURS KIDS AND OURS

We stood there in the early morning sun-up. The yard was full of children and the Hai

tian flag was climbing slowly to the top of the pole. Arousing song -asong of their
fair homeland, broke the spell of silence and young hearts felt again the thrill of
school re-opening. For us itwas still another joyful victory -a soul stirring experience

that made us know that God was there and approved of the care we offer our
children... ours and yours.
Yes, they are yours.

Yours to love. Yours to care for... yours to pray forand to appreciate.

Above you see them at Vacation Bible School... 600 of them and this number included
many who are waiting hopefully to enter school. In this massive crowd of children are
eager hearts, seeking minds, talented kids, The responsibility is deep - the oppor
tunities vast.

Across the green soccer field our eyes caught a glimpse of the new school building,
its Impressive structure sketched against the blue morning skies. Aplace of hope it
is... a promise of better things to come.
But listen to what Jesus taught us...

"For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul ?
We have much to teach our children -education, manners, discipline, honesty... but

more. We must teach them .the way to eternal life, the way of truth and fulfillment, of

peace, of faith and trust in a heavenly Father who cares. This is our responsibility.
And one day they will understand and appreciate. Thank you for caring and helping
them to a rewarding faith.

Christianville's Fish Project reaches out. Above is one of

our 4H student's effort near his home. He has dug this pond
and United Nations has stocked it. it is fed by a nearby
stream and v^iatched over carefully by its young owner.

Below is a view of the four new ponds being completed at
Christianville. United Nations is stocking them partly with
fish from Panama and they are due to be harvested twice a

year on a rotation basis. This is to insure a more steady flow
of fish into the school kitchen and into the Nutrition Pro

ject. While malnutrition continues to be a very real problem
in Haiti, we will continue to reach out a hand of love to the
little ones who suffer.

Our Haitian farmers can relate to our two new pig houses better than to the ultra

modern main building for our 18 mother pigs. Stuart Kelly our farm manager keeps
our boars in these huts. Since the program began we have given over 100 pigs and

breeding boars to needy farmers of our area. This will give real aid to economy
building. Most of the males are castrated and either sold to help purchase feed or
sent to the school kitchen after reaching a reasonable weight.

Here are some of our precious little ones in our Kindergarten of last year. Now they
have moved into first grade. This year there is much sadness around Christianville

among the little ones because we have no space for a new kindergarten. The children

will now have to wait until next year when hopefully we will have the school building
finished. These little girls were the children of the Nutrition Center sick and mal

It's water time on Saturday morning and our school children were on the way to the

water is a blessing. Remember, before we dug our well the people had to drink river

And let us be thankful too,

September '86 at CHRISTIANVILLE
Dear Friends,

Our busy summer is over and things are humming nicely in the school
this month.

All schools got behind this year in Haiti due to the rev

olution and so we are having summer school this month and plan to open
regular classes at the usual Haitian time, Oct. 6th.

Our school al

ways opened a month before others.

Monday night meetings of our evangelism staff are exciting this month!
New schools are coming into being.

The Mountain School enrollment has

increased from 24 to 40 and church attendance is well over 60.

A new

school and church are being established at Jan Jan, a mountain area ten

miles from us and the school at Delmas is hoping to open Oct. 6th.

This

will eventually make four schools for Christianville - a truly challen
ging outreach.

The outreach atJean Jean (pronounced Jon Jon) sparked its life from our pig pro
gram. Farmers from there found Stuart Kelly and through their receiving help from
gifts of pigs, they came to know of our Spiritual interest in them. A part of our
evangelistic team scouted the area and found the people eager to havea church
and a school.

We sought land...and found it.

We prayed for help...and God provided.
We worked and God rewarded.

He provided through our friends at Food ForThe Poor who recommended a work
team eager to visit Haiti to give assistance to a needy mission program. Thus Ad

vent Lutheran Church from Boca Raton, Florida, arrived tools workers ready to
build ourJean Jean building. In less than oneweek the building was erected and
the roof was complete. It wasan outstanding job, an incredible piece of work. Not
only did they contribute their labor but they contributed generously to the ex
penses of construction materials.

On arrival back in the U.S. oneoftheir team hurried to ship outtwo motorcycles to
aid in our evangelistic program at Jean Jean.

But the team included more than the construction crew. There were threedentists
and their assistants who worked diligently throughout the week caring for our
children. With our new dental clinic complete they were able to help dozens of
needy children suffering from need of dental help.

BRIGHT HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
What of the future at Jean Jean?

The responsefrom the Jean Jean people wasvery encouraging. Several men join
ed the workcrew asl<ing for no remuneration except a share of the cold water we

were ableto carry to the site. The children got into the spirit of work and cleared
the ground under the roof. They knew from the beginning that there would be a
school for them and their hopes were high.

The Sunday foliowing the completion of the roof our evangelism team held their
first service.

The week following the completion of the roof Sam began working on benches
and David Marcelin offered to take the ministry there in addition to his duties in
the Dental Ciinic. An evangelistic meeting was planned for 3 nights and over 100

people attended. It was an exciting beginning with good promise ahead.
When the benches were finished Sam built the school desks and school opened

, in late November. It was an evaluation time, registration and planning time for of
ficial opening of the school in January.

Howcan we estimate the value of the outreach at Jean Jean? It is impossible. We
leave that to the Lord. Our faith in God's provision for help to these people In this

lonely valley in the rough interior of Haiti has been rewarded by a groupof people
with a vision and dedication to work. Through this vision and dedication there are
now two men and one woman who are baptized members of the church. Faith is

now followed by thanksgiving —thanksgiving that overflows our hearts. We are
encouraged and press on ever following the torch that leads to a bright hope for
the future.

Cramped working space gave us the "shove-off" to our new dental building. The 2
room denial area at the rear of our medical clinic was just not enough. And the
medical side was cramping, too. It was our first building and we could not forsee
the tremendous outreach that was ahead of us.

Dr.Virgil Ullon continues to head-up the dental outreach and Dr. David Leever con
tinues as orthodontist. Through their dedicated labors both here and in the U.S.

other dentists have come to help us. Theirhearts are moved with compassion and
the result is lovingcare for Haiti's beautiful children. Recently N.W. Christian Mis
sion (Larry Owens) bussed their orphan children over a 7 hour trip to Christianville

and visiting dentists did nearly $8000 in work on them. It was great. The waiting
periods were packed with Bible puppet stories, songs and lessons.

The new building has a double operatory,

exray department with a panoramic and
single tooth exray, a room for orthodontics
and a waiting room. All of the equipment
has been given by caring people, Rotory
Clubs, other missions In Haiti not able to

use Items given to them. F.A.M.E. is pro
viding for more than half of the building
costs while dentists who have worked with

us have provided the balance. This beautiful
building is an expression of love from peo
ple who really care about the health of Hai
tian children. (And there is room for more
visiting dentists — we Invite you to come.)

The dental clinic like all of our buildings
lends itself to other areas of service. The

waiting room houses a Sunday School class

taught by Sandy, the verandah a noon day
leadership class by David and the orthodon
tist's room serves as a class room for the

Saturday preacher-leadership class. We are
sure the Lord is pleased with this maximum
use of our dental building.

But, like the rocky road of life, it has its rewards. At the end lies
a beautiful valley with loving hearted people. The church
overlooks a broad river where we are having our baptisms.

The Gospel is the hub of the whole effort. We are here to get
the good news to people who do not know their need of Christ
or the joy and peace that comes from being Christians. We
welcome those who want to help with the building program.
And when they are through our young evangelists do their part.

40 beautiful children are neatly clad in Christianvilie's bright
red uniforms and diligently studying their lessons. We wish,
you could see the smiling faces in our third school. And we
wish you could see the beautiful photograph of these children
on the wall in front of my typewrltter. There is a need at Jean
Jean, too, and that is for Sponsors for our children. We are star

ting our feeding program tomorrow on faith. The rations will be
small to begin with but as we get sponsors it will increase.
These children need your love and encouragement. If you all
could see them they would be grabbed like hotcakes I

Every year as school reopens in September, Ernie and Jim Aberle come to do our

massive job of fitting uniforms on our kids. This year they had help from Ernie's
twin sister Helen May and husband Pete Gerard. Howthe years fiy by — when littie girls they were candie bearers In our wedding. Now we have 704 chiidren in
school and that is a lot of uniforms ! We never tire of meeting our children along
-the roads coming and going, and knowing that those pretty red uniforms stand for
life and hope and health and happiness. Yes, and we thank God for His provision
for our little ones with continued help from American and Canadian volunteers.

The Annual Missionary Retreat was held again this year at Chrlstianville and again
it was a lovely success. Drex Stuart and George Poston were excellent with music

and Ralph Gorman's messages were rich and encouraging. Ten missions were
represented and there was a good
spirit of "working togetherness".
Plans were made for our one day
retreat in February.

Come around back of the chicken house with me — there is something for you to
see ! The men are out there harvesting fish today. This is the last for the season

and they are gathering more than 6000 pounds of fish. We wish you could see a
movie of today's activities. It has been great fun. But the smell will be pretty strong
before those women finish cleaning thousands of fish. Buckets and buckets of
them are pouring into our freezers, cooler, salt brine tubs, smoker, and drying
areas on the roof. They will mean protein for needy little bodies not only here but
at other missions. We see Cookson Hill's and Lifeline's trucks out there waiting
for their share. And there is Wayne getting some for his work. We are thankful
they have helped take them ! Now United Nations has supervised our building five
small ponds that will give us monthly harvest instead of so much at one time. This
will be a blessing.

CHRISTIANVILLE
lJUNIOR

Off to a great start ! The Mt. Outreach is 2 1/2 hours away either on your foot or
the feet of Mr. Donkey. Since the trip is so far and since it is a fuii day's work to
vaccinate our chiidren this team of nurses packed up for a camping trip. The Mt.
church now has a building with 2 small rooms where we can "over-night". Shirley
Meade from Cape Coral, FL organized this helpful team for Sandy.

By the way, the church in the Mt. is growing beautifully under our evangelism's
team-mate Robinson Joseph. They are averaging nearly 100 and have 43 in school.

Here's a friend for you boys and girls I Jean is an eager-beaver worker and often
on hand when the big truck comes in loaded with food for Christianville School.
This time it was a load of milk in cartons. Oh, how those kids loved that milk I Of
course the first ones to taste it were the boys helping to unload. In fact, they had

to stop midway unloading to take a drink. After all, it was a lot of work for there
were several hundreds of cartons. Now the milk will give strength to hundreds of

also sadness. The boy in this picture

we are building our new school.

Some very important meetings go on

meetings. Here you see him with

glasses on and a pen In his paw sign
ing an important letter.

Boys and Girls, can you see that wrig
gling, squealing little pig In Henry
Claude's hands? Our Nicholas who

now works in the pig house is han
ding over one of the castrate pigs to
the 4H group as a reward for their
faithful garden work. They will also
receive a female pig later on after the
adult farmers all get theirs. The boys
are now learning how to make their

way in life. There are no paper routes
or lawns to cut here like you have, so
they must find a way to make money.
And they learn to give a tenth to the

church, too, even if It is only five cents. Learning God's will for their lives is part of
our 4H program.

Children far up in the mountains seldom see new faces. They also seldom get to
go to school. Now in one mountain area of this beautiful island Christianville has

a school and a church. And also, the children are frequently visited by Americans,

Canadians and their own Haitian people from other areas. Their new building is
almost completed. Here you see it with the roof on. Since there is no driving road
to truck lumber up there we used Haitian lumber from nearby trees. The roof
sheets were carried on people's heads from Christianville.

CHRISTIAI^VILLE - Haiti

December 30, 1936

Dear Friends,

Sometimes we call them the three muskateers for fun. They are

our young evangelists...ages 18 and 19 years. Henry Claude is in

High ochool and Portain, too. Arvelt is a first year student in

University studying agriculture. But today they are packed and
ready to go to the Mountain church to hold a three day revival.
The donkey looks a bit overloaded. They will reach up there after
dark but the moon will help them and the people will be assembled
and waiting to hear their first message. Serious young fellows
they are.

Anote of sadness.,.one of our precious school children aged nine
years died a few days before Christmas. He was struck suddenly
with a terrible fever and lasted barely 2 days..really before the
family could get medical help to him. • Our school children wept
openly..he was a special little guy, a loved child. Joseph had
only been in school two months and had not built up a physical
reserve of good nutrition in time. We have nearly 700 children now
but even the loss of one is heart-breaking to us.

v/e had a lovely simple Christmas ourselves after giving parties to

all of our children. They were very happy with their new clothes

and treats. One of the crowning joys was to see the response of
the ilountain children in receiving patchwork quilts..one"each, made
by a dear sister in Florida.

It was a most happy time for us, and

for them.

Volunteer workers came from Florida and from E, 91st Street Church
in Indianapolis to help with the Christmas work. God bless them!

So many of you helped to make our December beautiful,.600 pair of red
socks, plastic gallons of dried foods, 3 motor cycles for the evangel
ism team, communion trays for new churches, and gifts for the building
project^of our naw school..so many more things that we can't oven men
tion.

Every item is needed - all are answers to prayer - all are the

blessings we need to continue to grow and to witness for Jesus Christ.

Thank you - deep down inside of all of us is a real sense of gratitude
for you and^your loving interest and help. God bless you with a
wonderful year.

With love and appreciation,

NEED

FOR

A GREAT

CHALLENGE

OiAJ^tlariD-Ltie. Caiting
Dear Friends,

We have reason for rejoicing today and so we hasten to write you. There

have been days and weeks of difficulties; unrest in Haiti, dangers to care
fully avoid, school problems,.and yet through it all we have seen blessings
of the Lord.

Like many schools, our teachers went on strike for a week.

But

the clouds are lifting and God's sunshine is coming through,
OUTREACH No. 1 —Christianville Church has been having new converts almost
every week for two months,

OUTREACH No. 2 in the mountains has a school

moving Jiicely with 24 children and food every day. It is transported every
week from our house by donkey. Two more were baptized yesterday and another
wedding is due soon. The school teacher we employed there has become a
Christian,..how thankful we are!

We have been praying about a new work. Our weekly preacher-training classes
have been excellent and our young men are anxious to be out preaching. Now
the Lord is opening a new door to us.

In the city we have found a very fine man who has been struggling with a church
for some time. He has 102 members, a small building and a school for 60 child
ren,

To our great surprise and pleasure we found that one of our Haitian Pas

tors and graduate of Ozark Bible College has a church hardly a block away from

this other work. We have now gotten the two men together and they are ready to
combine their work and build a strong church. Neither of them has support for
purchase of land or building, or support for the school other than a pitiful
salary for the teacher. The children are very hungry and in dire need.
So OUTREACH No, 3 has been born and Christianville staff is excited about this

new effort for Christ. We smile when we say that a few months ago we warned
our friends that Christianville was at the point of reaching out with well
trained workers.

The time is ripe and opportunity is at hand.

Now we need you more than ever
up.

before.

Our own new school building is going

We plan to erect a small church building in the Mountain and now we need

funds for the land for this new work.
All things are possible..if we believe!

V/e are using rented land at present.
And we DO believe!

with us that Goii will use us in this project to His glory.

Please believe

We rejoice,.and

we need your prayers.

And remember how very grateful we are for your gift this month,
In Christian love.

o GOO, THe S€n 15 60 GRefiT AMD OUR BOJ^T IS SO SmflLl... .
Dear Friends,

Press on...press on. The message was so clear to me yesterday as I rested in bed after
a bout with malaria, my heart overflowing in tears. Two precious teenagers had just

left the room. They came to represent my class. Standing quietly by me they sang a
beautiful chorus in English they had practiced. Then Suze prayed a long prayer and in
closing she and Augustine repeated the Lord's prayer. (Augustine is in training to be
a deacon.) How full of joy it really made me. I had time to stop and realize just
what you and we are doing here in Haiti. Here are senior teens beautifully relating to
the Christian life. Here are teens almost grown now who would have naturally related
to their world around them and instead have heard the call of Jesus, "come ye apart
from among them and be ye separate..."

On Thursday before Easter, there were 60 teens who came for an in-depth day of prayer,
testimonies, preaching and teaching. They sat quietly for 8 hours of growing in the
Lord. One teenager got up to preach and he said, "If it had not been for Christianville,
I would be out there in the RahRah band (the'VooDoo Easter celebration). Now my life is
changed and I am thankful."

This is your reward as well as ours.

Our girls are now reaching 18 and 19 years and with God's miracle in their
lives are growing with dignity and self esteem. They have turned their

backs on their culture that would now have had them carrying one or two
babies around. In the past 3 years, out of over 100 teen girls, we have
lost only 5 to pre-married pregnancy, one of whom was recently married in
the church. "Please thank God "with us and ask Him to continue the work

~

that has begun in their lives.

The School roof is on! We are watching excitedly the progress with great hopes. Many
wonderful Christians have come to help us this spring and God has blessed with all.

Advances are being made in the agriculture program as new ideas keep coming in with
our visitors.

Stuart has done a great job but now needs to return to the U.S. for eye

surgery that will take about 4 months.

Remember him in prayer.

More and more the Lord seems to be leading us into the area of trade schooling for our
graduates from Christianville School.

A few parents will be able to send their children

to high school but most will not. We want to prepare our kids for making their way in
life and so this summer we will begin on a small scale to employ teachers for special
classes in addition to the ones we now hold successfully on Saturdays,

We will need
