Kevin had the privilege of preaching on Palm Sunday in a small church about 10 miles northwest of where we live. It was a blessing to say the least. A church that is focused outward and not just inward.

We arrived at the church and the pews were full. We were escorted to our seats (that really means we had the usher squeezed us in where he could). As we sat there, we listen to each Sunday School class recite the scripture that was taught earlier in the morning. Many do not have a bible and/or can not read one anyway, so the best way for the Word of God to be spread and meditated on is by memorization. The people of Haiti seem to be able to memorize scripture so easily. Such a blessing.

As we listened, we looked around and watched the people. We began to notice a theme popping up. Red shirts...there were red shirts everywhere. Funny and sweet all in the same breathe. Some shirts had been donated to the Haiti Earthquake Relief and some of those shirts were given to the pastor of this church, Pastor David, to distribute to his people and in the community. Now I am not a country music listener, but I think Blake Shelton is a country music artist. Many in the church that morning were wearing Blake Shelton shirts. I took pictures and hope to send them to him with a note of thanks.



There were two new people who accepted Christ that morning. Praise the Lord! Kevin also had the opportunity to participate in a baby dedication. God is changing lives!

Susan was able once again to go out and work in one of the mobile clinics with North Carolina Baptist Men disaster relief teams. The pastor's son where Kevin had preached was sick and Susan was able to get him to the clinic and treated. We delivered the medicine for the child and treated the whole family so the sickness wouldn't spread. We also have scheduled to show the Jesus Film there when we return from the states.

As many of you know we are returning to America for a short time, six weeks. We really look forward to seeing everyone and sharing with you what God is doing.
