Equipping the Team
Little Bits of Health Wisdom is the working title of a booklet Kris compiled to help the Haitian people improve their own health. The extremely limited and often inaccurate health information available in
Creole motivated the work on this booklet. Translation work is in progress as well as plans for printing and distribution.
Health enables people to reach out to the needy both physically and spiritually, in their local community and beyond. The clinic, the agricultural ministry, the church, and the school all strive to help people live heathy productive lives. A few spots remain on the Fauche campus for plants but Cory continues to visit local gardens and share with folks from other areas the plants we have ready for distribution. A shipment of about 1,700 banana corms purchased in the Dominican Republic were distributed in May. Star fruit trees are being distributed now. Patients seen at the clinic may return home with a Moringa tree, Katuk, or False Roselle plant.
Cory’s internet shopping skills continue to be a blessing. Videos, projector, diesel generator, parts for a lightning struck inverter, new printer, tracts, lawn mower blade, banana and pineapple plants, movie screen, roof coating..items that would be very hard to locate here or expensive. Cory finds items on line, arranges for the shipping, and pick up at the airport after getting them cleared through customs. The equipment is then put into service for the Lord.
The most important and invaluable tool of the team’s ministry is prayer. With newsletters, updates, the blog and E-mails we’re able to update and connect teammates in various countries of current prayer needs. Joining each other in prayer unities us in a special way that empowers each one to do the task that the Lord has given. By joining us in prayer for Haiti you equip us and the Haitian church
with hope, encouragement, strength, wisdom and joy. THANK YOU!

LaGonave Agricultural Update.
The demand for Moringa
powder is outpacing production. Older moringa trees have been replanted. A
newly planted area increases the number of moringa trees in production.
Gardens and moringa replace the non-producing date palms. The nutritious
leaf powder supplies the hospital, a local orphanage and a school. A few
producing date palms continue to fruit to the enjoyment of the local children.
Cory transferred 75 potted date palms from LaGonave to the North.
WISH missionaries enjoy sweet mulberries and fruits from our old yard.
Seeing the ‘fruit’ of our nine years on LaGonave encourages us and
emphasizes the importance of teaching people to insure the sustainability of
the work after moving on.-Thank you for your support that
made this and all the other work possible.
