A glimpse into the Shoe's Soul

Many folks have asked us to include information on how our family is doing.  You can now get a little insight into the Shoe's Soul by going to www.theshoessoul.blogspot.com.  You can catch up on what is happening in our personal lives since we've moved to the states (and there's a lot!).  You may be amazed, you will laugh and hopefully be spurred to pray for us on our life journey as we continue to serve the Lord through RMI.  To whet your appetite, here are a few pictures:

Dan and I, the re-invented U.S. version!

Devon, 20, and Duke the Walmart shopping dog!

Dawn, 17, and a State Volleyball Championship!

A recent visit to Abricot

Our trip to Abricot on January 10: We took pictures for Hope for Kids and looked at possible projects for New Church to consider for future visits. Last year the students had to walk about 5 miles to have their pictures take but this year we have a new road into Abricot. It's a beautiful part of Haiti and one is able to see the beauty even better on this road. But the true beauty is in Haiti's people. They are always happy to see us as we are them. Here is a slideshow for you!  Gary McLaughlin

A letter from your Sister Church

From: Abricot Church

To: New Church

I am very happy today for the great opportunity I have to write you this letter. How are you and your church activities doing over there? I hope you are doing great in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ. The reason I write this letter to you is to wish you all in New Church a Happy New Year of 2008.

Here in Abricot Baptist Church, we had a good year of 2007.  God took care of us here.  The only  problem we had last year was when we were preparing for your coming but unfortunately the team was cancel, after that everything was fine for us here in Haiti.  About the school everything is fine, we have more kids in the school this year but we don’t have enough class room.  This year, again, 20 kids are going to attend the official exams, I want you to pray for them, please.

Thank you very much for the generator that you sent for us. It is very helpful for us because we use it every evening when we have service. We started this year with a nice prayer service in the church where we had many people accept Jesus as their Savior.

Finally, we want to say thank you for the support you give to our kids here in Abricot. Thank you for helping our kids go to school. We really appreciate that and we are praying for you everyday and asking God to fill you with his blessing. All the church members and the deacons send their greeting to all of you.

May God bless you all in your church!

A letter from your sister church

From: Anse–a-Veau Baptist Church

To: Linwood Church

I greet you all in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ.  May the grace and the peace of God be with you in this New Year.  I wish you all a Happy New Year of 2008.

Here in Anse-a-Veau, we are doing very well thanks to God.  We praise the Lord we had a good year of 2007 spiritually, only some of our people in our church were facing the Hurricane problems. Thank you the help you sent for those with hurricane damage problems.  They really needed that help.  Our church is working very well here. We had a nice prayer service on the night of December 31^st where all the Christians met together for a worship and prayer service. We were happy to meet together; we heard a lot of testimonies from the members and after we all had a good time of discussion together and we drank coffee at the end.

In the name of all the kids and the parents who are sponsored we say thank you for the money you sent this year again for the kids.  The parents were very happy to see their kids going to school and have their school paid for.  That’s a blessing for them. The kids and their parents are praying for you daily and asking God to bless you. Thank you for the motorcycle battery you sent for me.  I appreciate that. We are praying for your coming again this year and we are looking forward to meeting you all.

I send my greeting to all of you in Linwood Church especially to Pastor Rick and his family, to the deacons, the youth, Sister Betty, Brother Art and his wife, Sister Barbara, Brother Tom, Brother Tommy and to all the members.
