WERE YOU THERE TOO?

I lay on my straw mat.

Fever burns my face my whole being. Gradually my jaws tighten and I cannot eat. Days and nights become confused as the weeks pass. I hear themtalking, "she can't last long". The mud walls of my hut are damp now with theodor of death all around me. Pain comes and goes. But now it seems that allis pain. My neighbors and family try to help but there is no real help. Withtetanus I must die. I have seen others die in this wretchedness. I am in themountains a two hour walk to any village. I cannot go.No one will come.

I am confused, for I hear strange voices and I seem to be dreaming. Then awarm strong hand touches me. I don't know this hand. I cannot understandwhat he says. My family said he is a Doctor but I cannot believe. Not here!

It is morning now and I can see and feel the warm sun. I feel a little better.Then hecomesagain and thereis another injection. He cameagain? So far?

I can see him now and smile just a little. He tells me Iam going to get well.Well? Inmyconfused mind Ifind it hard to believe. Astranger cares?Cares for me?

Friend, it was Dr. Schwartz who climbed the Mountains to find the womanwith tetanus. God bless him. But you were there too; for you helped buildChristianville. You helped to open the darkness and let the light creep in. Yes,you were there in that little hut... with God, with Dr. Schwartz there to be usedof God in His miraculous touch. This morning we arrived for worship in ourthatched roof church building and there lying on a mat inside the building wasthe recuperating patient.

She had come to give thanks!

Groundbreaking for our Christian School was another milestone anotherhope "oeing realized in our plan for Christianville. It was a time of great joy forus, for the wonderful news is that our school building is a gift from a very kindand helpful friend in Canada. It is to be built in memory of his Mother. But hisreal purpose is to help the children of Haiti. We are deeply moved by his loveand we feel a real sense of devotion and dedication toward making this schoola blessing to children. We want them not only to receive a basic education butalso daily wholesome meals, and highest of all goals, a grounding in faith inGod.

It was a time of happiness also because sharing in the ceremony were ourforwarding agents, Don and Julia Wheeler. They have kept a wonderfully close,helpful watch over us and our activities. How glad we are that they could bewith us forthis joyful occasion.

Rejoice with us... and pray with us for the completion of this school, (ourcover picture shows Sam Streu, Don Wheeler, Jim Herget and Julia Wheeler).

A TREE IS PLANTED

March 10th, 1980 will be a memorable day forthe Christianville family. Minister E. A. Woodstock of Mandeville, Jamaica and Chairman ofthe Board of the Jamaica Christian Boys'Home, accompanied Sister Fannie Knight,Superintendent of the Home to visit Christianville here in Haiti. It was a lovely visit full ofchatter as we exchanged news of both "laborsfor the Lord". They were very pleased to seeChristianville and its growth and we werepleased to have first hand news of the goodsuccess the Jamaicans are having in carryingon the Home and the Church at t^eadowbrook.

To commemorate our lovely visit BrotherWoodstock and Sister Fannie planted a tree inthe yard of our mission home. In our exchangeof various gifts we recieved a beautiful plaquefrom the children in Jamaica. We rejoice in thelove that binds our hearts to each other.

THE CLOCK STRUCK "MOVE" !

It was December. Yes, the week beforeChristmas.

We will never forget that week of excitement. At Christianville the tile-layer workedround the clock. But yes, you guessed it. Hedidn't make it! But it all added to the fun ofmoving into our own home with the joyfulknowledge that at last we could be close toour work at Christianville. Two days beforeChristmas we moved the last bed fromtown and closed the door to nearly twoyears of working and planning, preparing forfull time service to the people we hadalready learned to love.

It was Christmas then. The children, one by one came to tell us that they did notneed toys this year because their new home was enough. We were deeply movedand it madeourgiftsof jelly and jams for one another, potato chips for Daddy, andof course a few surprises for the children, just all right. Christmas morning therewas a house-warming breakfast with a dozen friends from Port au Prince and thena real family day to follow. The rush was over and our hearts were quieted and fullof Christmas meaning.

But there was a good reason forthe rush!

Two days after Christmas foundus at the airport collecting a Milli-gan College work team. One goodglance over those nine "huska-teers" gave our weary hearts a lift.We were tired and there was much

urgent work to be done, and here,God had sent a reminder of His

loving care.

HOLD ON FOR A SNAP BEFORE SETT'LING IN

What did they really come for?Kids that are preparing for big things In life electronics,

school teachers, medical professions, were here in Haiti for hardlabor! Before the first week was out there were aching backs andblistered hands from pick and shovel. But there ^was more.Smiles reveal the joy of true service. Yes, they had come to serve.

Two days after they arrived wewent to the airport again.

This time the balance of ourtemporary "family" arrived... ateam of 22 from CincinnatiBible Seminary. And itwasn't long before themeshing of the two groupshas been beautifully accomplished and we were off to bigthings.Some worked in the kitchen.

Some in tlie office.For there was a news letter to

get out and the mailing list torevise and the EVANGEL toaddress.

Some washed cement fromthe windows... cleaned floors.Others painted. And swept.

Outside work was plentiful. But first we divided into teams. Threeof them. Each night group leaders got heads together in the office and planned the day ahead. There were the ditch-diggers, theblock-layers, and the cement-mixers. And when all was finishedwe knelt for prayer. It bound us together. Yes, with our Leader.The cool night was a welcome relief after the blistering sun of thedays.

Kids slept everywhere... on floors, on the roof, just wherever onecould make his "roost". No one complained.

7^

GOD BLESS THEM!

The group of guys that went down into the water tank to clean it. They bucketed water, sand and dirt over a foot deep in that tank. And the tank is no littlething -10 feet deep, 18 feet wide and 36 feet long! And it's dark down there withonly a small hole to let down a ladder. They did a beautiful job and now ourHaitians can have healthful drinking water. For the tank is for them and for theclinic and school. It is underground - gives gravity-flow. Remember when webuilt it?

Outside thegirlsand guysdug ditches for foundations, for pipe lines, forthe start of the workshop. They laid blocks bythe dozens and mixedconcrete by the barrel-full. And the farm-minded landscaped andplanted and watered.

Pretty girls and smiles were everywhere. Even in the kitchen. The food wasgood, highlighted by ail the lovely things sent by churches to help the project. Wewould like to picture everybody and tell you one by one of the churches and theiriove and the individual gifts brought by the kids themselves.Did God bless us? Ummmm. You see how He did!

A word of sympathy to Ron Vance and brotherswho left two days early because of the deathof their grandfather. Ron led the C.B.S. team -did a fantastic job. Would you knowhe slipped by the camera!But here is Morry Osborn,leader of the Miiligan teamrunning the rototiller andleading hearts in praise.He too, dida tremendous job.

//'

The climax is usually at the end of each project. But for us it was the first day ofeach week. Yes, it was when we gathered in the thatched-roof church building forpraise and fellowship with our brethren; for prayer and preaching and communion, for the Gospel outreach.

Tim did much of the preaching and there's our Wayne interpretting for him. Thepeople loved them. Ail of them!

And how could they resist a group of singers like this! It was love on both sides.

Yes, our American friends learned new and beautiful lessons

in brotherhood. You share

something real when you kneelon the earth together withbarefooted, hungry, preciouspeople. There is only one God,one Father. We are the

children.

A SONG FROM MORRY OSBORN,MILLIQAN TEAM LEADER

Why can't we see what the children needThrow away our lives of greedRealize what a joyous world could beIf saddened eyes only need not cryI'm hungry, so hungry.

Teejo did a fine job gathering rubbish and tidying the front yard. But whenhe set fire to his pile of refuse he left it to the uind and dry grass. Onlyminutes later Daddy ITerget saw the flames1 Almost instantly three dozen pairof hands were at work, swatting and chopping to try and save our nearby village.It finally looked like there was no hope. As we prayed the flames leapt closerto the straw roofed houses. Our neighbors took out their fev? precious belongings and ran vreeping for safer ground. Then the miracle happened. Within inchesof the houses the flames stoppcdl God had seen and and had heard our prayers.The village was saved..Praise His Kamel (Can you realize that we would havebeen responsible for rebuilding every house.'

Can you believe that we are watching the walls of our newschool building go up? Yes, another drean is being realized

Octoberywand we have so much to thank the Lord for.

But tê children think they have the most to be thankful for!One little girl threw her arms around us, hugged us and jumpedup and down in glee. Yes, she heard that she was going to be

.able to go to school at last. The building Is a gift from aX friend in Canada who wants it as a memorail to his mother. It^ I's to have four classrooms * office, kitchen and pantry and an

assembly-dining hall. Outside there is room for a large playfield and of course a big old school bell.

Yes, School BetZa should be ringing by October, Haiti's monthfor opening of the fall term.

Tony was only five months when we found him. Hegrew up with us in Jairiaica, attended Johnson BibleCollege for one year and then graduated from theUniversity of Xenn. with a degree in Civil Engineer-Îng. Tony spent a year with us here in Haiti andcould not obtain work. Now he has returned to theU.S. and has been working on his Master's degree.But }ieddiru3 Bella should be ringing next month!His sweet wife-to-be is Angela Murphy who alsograduated from U.T. and worked with him in theChristian Student Fellowship there. She spent herChristmas holidays with us last year here in Haiti.Wg are proud to welcome her as our daughter, for Tony is a legally adoptedson of ours.

You, our friends and supporters will know better than anyoneelse how very much we need a couple of weeks rest. There hasbeen no time for days off here..hardly time to catch our breath.So, with your blessing wc will try and attend Tony's wedding inJohnson City, Tenn., spend a week's rest with our fonârdlngagent's, Don arid Julia Wheeler in Orlando, Fla, and then hurryback to prepare for Teen Ilissions' arrival in June.

Don't you know there are Hoit-B&lls in our hearts? Godhas blessed so much and we praise Him for it all. Wewill ajX^,uac&^soon the addition of .our new minister forthe church. It is nov7 growing in a' fresh and wonderfulway and we plan to use the school assembly hall forservices by July. Sam will remain with the children andsupervise the work during our short absence. Pray forus and for our growing needs. And may we say again amost heartfelt thank-you for all you have done for tis.

Yours in Christian love.

"REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS"Phil. 4:4

God has blessed us with a beautiful famiiy - a famliy dedicated to the outreach ofthe Gospel to Haiti. Often our family times are of deep happiness. They might be abirthday party, a wedding, friends visiting or a graduation. Or they might be justordinary days filled with work and closing at night with Bible lessons, songs andgood night prayers as we kneel together before our Heavenly Father.

Recently we were privileged to visit the U.S.A. for the wedding of our eldest son,Tony in Johnson City, Tenn. It was a real joy to witness this most wonderful timein the life of a full grown young man who had started out in our arms as a five month old baby. We had so much to be thankful for as we looked back; a beautifulchildhood, good education at home in Jamaica, a year_ai Jphnspp Bible College,graduation after a four year course at the University of. Te.nnesee and nowmarriage to a lovely Christian girl, to establish his own Christian home. God blessyou Tony and Angela with all of the "real" things of life that are so important the"putting first" of the things of God,

And then there was that nice birthday party for Sam Streu where we lovinglydecorated his cake with a big sugar hammer. A]?ove you see Dad and Mom Herget,Sam and Grandma all smiling while the boys wait anxiously for the cutting of Uncle Sam's cake.

For the coming year our Christianville family will be blessed with the additio^n ofJim and Denise Hayes who have arrived to work in the clinic.

Our two big boys Wayne and Robert will be leaving us in August for AtlantaChjistian College. We will miss them sorely but we rejoice as they step out intolife as fine Christian young men.

Please keep our Christianvillefamily in yourprayers\

We appreciate the gifts of drugs and the clinic support that is making this workpossible. Please rememb^our need of a salary ($100.00 a month) for ourclinic interpreter. .. .

Robert, our eldest "son" still at home and 18 now, was graduated from Quis-queya Christian High School in May witha record of good grades, good behaviourand good sportsmanship. Wegave hima gift but he surprised us withone too. Hisgift to us was a lovelypicture of himself with this inscription:

1 To Mom and Dad... a beautiful set ofpeople which just can't be replaced. Ilove you to the top, then, now and forever more. A kiss for you Mommy and akiss for you Daddy. 1adore you both.

^ Love, Robert.

IIf you are a parent reading this you will knowthat no material gift could balance the scales

with agift like this.

Robert hopes todo pro^fesslonal football someday but will go to Bible College with an open

heart for God's guidance. Best wishes Robert.

"A TIME TO BUILDUP"Ecd. 3:3

Christianville struggles victoriously upward in its time of building.

NEW CO-WORKERSFORCHRISTIANVILLE

Salnave and Blonde Desarmes and little

Stanley Desarmes made their way intoour hearts after we met in Port-au-Prince.

While becoming acquainted we found

that Salnave was a graduate of Lincoln

Christian College, Lincoln, 111. with botha B,A. and an M.A. Degree. The Desar

mes were in the U.S. for five years and

then felt the call to return to their home

land to work for the Lord.

During our recent visit to the U.S., we held a Director's meeting at which time wejdecided unanimously to ask Brother Salnave to seiVe"a"s'a Director for Chrlstlan-/ /ville for one yearfn the first instance. Salnave has accepted and has pledged him-fl self to work with us to the advancement of the Lord's work.

In Haiti the government has declared that .every mission must have a Haitianrepresentative "to the government. Brother Salnave has agreed to serve in thiscapacity on a "renewable-yearly" basis. His wife Blonde, fluent In both Frenchand English, will be working during the summer months teaching French to ourboys and acting asjnterpreter for Jim and Denise Hayes in tKe'ClThic./Brother Salnave is building a church at Bellvue, some ten miles from Chrlstian-

^ ville and we will be associated with tliTs new_congregation sharing In the work,Pray with us that our working-together will be richly profitable for the Lord.

TO THE U.S.A. AND BACK

Our trip to the U.S. was the first in three years. Since we were going to Tennessee forTony's wedding, wedecided to make it a^^our week furlough. It was abeautiful time for us as we renewed friendships all along the way and our onlyregret was that we could not reach all of our friends. We did visit our living-linkchurches. First Christian Church in College Park, Ga. and First Christian Church

in Largo, Fla. Sam Streu made the trip possible for us by taking all of the responsibility of the work and boys while we were away. We are grateful to him and toyou who helped financially as well.

DEDICATED TO

LAND OF SUN AND SOULS

CHRISTIANVILLE has been blessed richly since its beginning with thededication and loving devotion of two of its co-wokers, DQ,n,_and.Julia Wheeler._But the Wheelers service began many years ago when Jim and Carol were inJamaica. In fact. Don and Julia have been working with the Hergets as forwardingagents for more tha,[}^18 yejijis... They have stood by faithfully through joys andsorrows, through difficulties and victories. They have enjoyed their work and havelabored with deep love for the Lord.

....Now the Wheelers find that they can no longer serve in this great responsibilitywSfilchTs' exactingand time consuming since their business is now goingjo keep^(^(them travelling constantly throughout the year. They-have ,asked us to ^replace:;

them and have writtem a letter of resignation and of encouragement as well. Donand Julia are not only forwarding agents - they are friends, and we know that eventhough their work as forwarding agents must end, our friendship remains as trueas ever. We thank God for them. Don will remain as a Director of Christianville andthey will continue to help in other areas of service. We are deeply grateful for theirdevoted service and labor of love.

GOD HAS GRACIOUSLY PROVIDED

\

Isn't He wonderful! We knew for some time thai the Wheelers were finding thework more and more difficult. But we didn't know that He had made provision forother workers to be right at hand when the need arose. Don and Virgiriia Dygan,friends from Brownstown, Ind. moved to Orlando and have novv taken up thechallenge of our new forwarding agents. Our new P.O. Box is 13391 A, Orlando Fl.32859. Sovwe wel.comeJhese new worker:?. Don and Virginia hope to visit Haiti soonand then want to be available for speaking engagements along with their work asforwarding agents. Our hearts are deeply thankful...for the many years of lovingwork by the Wheelers and now for providing new workers. Blessed be the Name ofthe Lord.

REPRESENTATIVES

VISIT

Dr. Dennis Pruett (right) and Barry Kennedy of the Fellowship of Associates ofMedical Evangelism recently visited Christianville in the interest of the possibilityof their working with us in the building of our medical clinic. After their visit theyreturned to the U.S. and wrote telling us of their good impressions of the work ofChristianville, They said that they would present our need to complete the clinicat the next board meeting of FAME with the hope that they could assist us withfunds to complete the work.

Now the meeting has been held and we have received word that they havepledged a gift of $12,000.00 toward the building and that it would be in our handsvery soon. "

We rejoice in this new victory for the Lord's work here in Haiti and we are made/glad with the knowledge that the roof of our building should be on soon. It is a cutstone and cement block building with a waiting room, several examination rooms,

va pharmacy and a dental clinic.

We appreciate the many drugs already sent to us and we would remind you offurther needs for drugs as well as for salaries.

D^ctorJ^^rrjs Schwartz, M.D. made hissecond visit for 1980 to Christianville In

May. Once again he labored diligentlyand unselfishly for our people. We are

deeply grateful for his regular visits andthe great contribution he makes in services, drugs and equipment. He plans to

return in October.

MEDICAL WORK MOVES AHEAD

An important part of our medicai outreach is in dental care. Dr. Clifford Evanshas been giving his services to the people of Haiti for several years. When DrEvans heard about Christianvilie, he became very interested and offered his help.There followed a very fine relationship in which Dr Evans with the good assistanceof his wife who is a Nurse, made visits to Christianvilie with portable dentalequipment. On his first weekend of work he pulled seventy-five teeth. This is agreat help to our people and we are thankful for the promise of his continued help.

Ample space is being provided in our new clinic building for the dental room and

At this writing Dr Evans is in the US. and hopes to return_by_Sep^mber toenlarge his contribution of work to Christianvilie. Isn't it wonderful the way Caod isblessing this corner of Haiti!

to leave the house door open and those

I goats smelled something good inside! All

CHRI5TIANVILLE seven of them paraded in. But we mu tsayUUN lOR behave themselves nicely

eating only the grass that needed cuttinganyhow. And it wasn't long before David found them and scooted them all backout. Daddy doesn't want the boys to name the goats anymore becausethey don'twant to eat them after they have made pets of them. And to eat them is.the veryreason weraise thern. Meanwhile, wemust admit that theymake nice littlefriendsfor the boys in Haiti.

DAY IS DONE

It was ten p.m. and the last night of work for our 1980 Teen fvlissions Te^m.We heard the splashing of the kids in the muddy spring-pool where they weretrying to get the heaviest part of the cement off their clothes. But there weremoans and groans as well when the water touched the cement burns on armsand legs and middles. At the side of the house where they had just finishedpouring the cement roof, was a mute testimony of a work-day-done... a heap ofshovels lying still in the moonlight. It was a day well done, a summer wellspent.

The young missionaries had come in June, tuned up for work after a toughboot-camp. The first work-week found the group divided into three teams. Onedug foundations and laid up the walls of the Pastor's house; one dug the nearlyhalf-mile of 18 inch deep water line to the clinic, school and Pastor's house,and the third dug foundations and built septic tanks. Sandwiched into thethree main jobs were a number of important smaller jobs and every "man" onthe team was at work. Girls swung picks and carried blocks just as the boysdid. Some painted, some dug fence-post holes, some laid block fence wallsand some hauled sand and dirt by wheelbarrow-dozens and dozens of trips.

And when the finishing line was in sight one would have thought it would beall smiles. But not so. Tears fell. Love for Christianville and the nearby villagepeople had made inroads on young hearts. They had learned what missionarylife was like and had passed tfie test as valient soldiers of the cross.

NEARLY COMPLETED CLINIC

Our hopes and dreams are about to be realized for our medical outreach in asteady and substancial program for our Christianvilie people. Dedication Day forthe Clinic is set for October 17th and we look forward to It with joy and thanksgiving. The rush is on now painters, masons, tile-layers, plumber and electrician ail are working toward the goal, enthusiastically, dedicated. They all know whatthe building will mean to our people. They all care. Next issue we hope to have afull account in pictures and story of the opening of the work and God's blessingon it.

SLIDES AVAILABLE

After many months of preparation we have finally prepared a slide program forchurches or groups to borrow. These pictures protray the work of Christianvilie aswell as general life In Haiti. If you are interested in using them, kindly write ourForwarding Agents and request them. Address on front inside cover.

Our QUARTERLY PROJECT for July, August andSeptember has been lovingly and generously supported. We have been able to plaster all the wallsin the house, lay the tiles on the floors and wehave the money for the windows. We need onlythe doors and plumbing fixtures. And just in time,too, for our new minister hopes to move into thehouse by November! Thanks for helping... we aretruly-grateful.

THIS QUARTER we want to purchase some basicfurniture for the Pastor's house. Your help will beappreciated...designate your gift for the QUARTERLY PROJECT.

ART WORK

The new art work for the Evangel is being done by Jere Brady, Morgantown, Pa.Jere and his wife visited this summer with Teen Missions and were eager tobecome involved in the work. He plans to continue, Our appreciation to AnitaRapien for former art work in the Evangel.

Jim Person came from Teen

Three other teams came to Christianville for the debrief and

it seemed there were tents everywhcie! It was a greatchorus of praise to God when all 140 lifted their voices. We

are thankful for Teen Missions - a totally undenominational

organisation dedicated to instilling a love for missions inthe hearts of youth. The Spiritual emphasis was high andkids came to grips with the deep things of life. Our boyswere blessed with sharing in songs and prayers and Scriptures...and with friends who came to help.

TENT LIFE never was easy.

Not for Abraham either, or

Sarah.

But after a hard day's work,

even that mat on the ground

feels good. Tents are screened

and water proofed. That is, ex

cept for hurricane times.

And when hurricane Allan entered our happy

camp-ground the first blow he blew swept all the

tents into a rain-soaked muddy heap.

Thirty three soaking wet and muddy ^^kids moved into our house. We were ^ ' , "'^ ^thankful for dry spots here and there .j- )r r ^ [ "B^lin spite of muddy wet floors. We i ~ I \ \ ^found odd bits of dry clothing for I^ ^them and bunked everyone down on \ | ^floors for the night. The wind howled

angrily and rain beat upon the house.

But it was built of rock and we praised the Lord for a safe night. We lost a few things,

our lovelychoucoune, cement, some garden, but neither we nor our near neighborslost lives. And it was not long before our Team was back at work.

Bible quizzes, let

ter writing, devo

tional classes, pra

yer meetings...all

were a part of the

summer program.

First up on top those walls is lumber.When carpenter Jim Hayes finishes the

"decking" it is then covered with cement

blocks.

Yes,

all hand-iifted to the roof.

Then the steel is tied... and the girls

learned the trade.

Now we're ready to mix and pour.

Then its up the lad

ready for the action.

Phillip donated some of his freetime to painting a sign to beplaced at the main road entranceto Christianville. His service anddedication was a little special tous for Phillip was born a Haitianand went to live in the U.S. when

only a child. He joined TeenMissions this summer to givesome of his life back to his coun

Phillip also found a specialblessing himself when DaddyHerget baptized him in a nearbyriver. God bless you Phillip in yourpreparation for becoming aMedical Doctor.

CHRISTIANVILLEJUNIORGREAT FUN FOR .

THESUMMER A

We knew that Teen Mission kids

would ne sleeping in tents. And

we also knew that we needed

to take a special present forthe boyswhen were in the U.S. One day we found just the right thing... a big sale ontents! They were $14.00. We bought oneandwhat a lovely treat it was. The boys tookturnssleeping in the tent which waspitched nearthe building that wasgoing up. Theboysused it fora "watchman" tent, and forfuntoo.

There were many things to do this summer.

4 % Goats had to be watered and moved eachmorning and evening and each boy had his own

y* ^ to care. Then there was cow watching too. Yes,y/ /f__ I needed the good grass near the gar-

dens but they also needed cowboys to keep

them from eating the good food. So every other day a team of two would take itsturns.At the endofsummer Teen Missions putupa long fenceacrossthegarden areaso that when the boys go back to shcool, the cows will be under strictcare. But thesummer did the cows well. They are all fat and ready to have their calves. Our boysare learning to be Industrious. That means they are learning to work with responsibility. Did you boys and girls have summer jobs? We hope so. Work can be fun.

There were real fun times too...some picnics,

some swims, evening song fests with the TeenMission kids and games at night with Daddy.

Yes, it was a good summer and we are thankfulto the Lord Jesus for His love and care.

OFF TO COLLEGE

It is hard to believe that Robert has reached

18 and has gone off to College In the U.S. It

seems like only a little v\/hlle ago he was a tiny

boy learning his A, B, C's in Nursery School.

Here you see him saying goodbye to Teen

Mission kids for he left Haiti before they did.

Robert is studying at Atlanta Christian College,

the school where Mom and Dad learned to be

missionaries. We miss Robert but are giad that

he can go to college. Please remember to say a

little prayer for him.

FRENCH CLASSES

Every day during the summer a teacher came

out from Port-au-Prince, the big city, to teachour boys French. They had a two hour class In

the mornings before going to their cows. And

they made a lot of progress. School should be

easier this fall now that they know the

language much better.

CHER HEIDI

The French word for dear is CHER. And Heidi Is a

dear little dog. One day Uncle Sam came home with atiny wiggley thing in his arms. The boys ran to seewhat it could possibly be. And there was Heidi, aDobberman puppy. It did not take Heidi long to feel athome with her new family. But there were so many

boys to get acquainted with! Now Heidi has grown fatand strong and loves all her family friends. She is nowlearning to bark at strangers. After all, that is her joband she knows it. But Heidi loves Uncle Sam most of

all and spleeps under his bed.

Eow the months fly byl i\nd each one is full to overflmjing in rich blessingsfrom the Lord,., blessings of progress, blessings of health and daily care,blessings of guidance, of hard places and smooth 'sailing''. There are difficult days..the heat is long and v/aaring by this time of the year and we longfor a cool breeze. By November that will come too - Ke gives strength foreach day.

Teen Missions finished up their summer with great joy for they looked upon afinished roof on the parsonage! Oh ho^r they worked! The final day for pouringthe cement began at five a.m. and those kids did not finish until ten p.m.They were covered with cement and svreat and many had cement burns but oh, theJoy of knowing they had reached their goal was beautiful. The follw^ing weekthree other teams came in for debrief and they spent ten wonderful days oftent life, singing, praising and preparing to return to American life. Wewish you could have seen the sight of those seventy tents flapping in thebreeze and heard the chorus of 140 teenagers in song.

It rained the last morning and so they left their tents for us to take dovm*.and compensated us with a gift of thsir left-over groceries. Now that was agood swap. Jim, Sam and the boys kept smiling through the work - and throughthe cakes and treats that follor^red! ^

V, ^ ""iiut the building goes right on. Ue plan to hav^ the dedication fo^ bur clinicVbuilding on October 17th. There is a good work crew dc7n-~there andis doing the carpentry work. Heanwhile the_school building is getting itsroof and the parsonage its waH_s^plastered.

Progress just doesn't stop. Isn't the Lord good!Your gifts are making the work possible and we are truly grateful for eachone of you personally. Often we want to write individual letters telling ofthe day's joys or the day's v7ork. But there is just so little time to spare.We spend family time together with our boys too, and they need that. DeniseHayes said today, Your boys are,just so sweet.' Yes, they are but it comesfrom God's help and constant watchful care over their growth. We are proudof them. Robert is very happy at Atlanta Christian College. \Iayne may goin January but v7e decided that he was still too young to go this summer.

Sam has gone to his home in Canada for a month after a full year's hard work.He plans to return mid-October. X'e are truly thankful for his excellentcontribution to the X7ork of Christianville - a quiet^ sincere, hardworkingman and a fine example to our children. God bless him.

Thank you for being a real part of our family and for letting us be yourhands and hearts in this island of Haiti.

I>ear Friends,

i.hat a happy day! It was the day of the dedication of ourMedical Clinic building...a victory both Spiritual in the rewardfor cur faith, and physical in the reward of a lovely buildingafter weeks of hard physical labor, r.e were tired but veryhappy.

It was also a tire of heart searching too, and a renewal of ourfaith in our loving K'eavenly Father as ve face the facts of theneed for regular purchases of arugs and the payment of salariestve will need a regular incoEie of approxirâtely $500.00 a Eonthto operate an efficient clinic.

Our need is simply this...good Christian neighbors in the U.S. whowill care and share on a pônthly basis for our suffering people in haiti.

You either have already, or are presently supporting Cliristianville inits outreach. 1on^t you pray about even a small increase in your givingthat will mean the answer to our clinic needs? V'e already have some ofthis anôunt pledged. Please pray about helping to insure the future ofthis medical work.

198q

Dear Friends,

We feel the warmth of your love and care more this Christmas season than ever beforein the history of our work as missionaries. Your letters and concern give usstrength and courage. Thank you...from the depths of our hearts for all you havedone. Other missionaries may have lots more names on their mailing list but wedoubt if any missionary has as precious friends as you have been to us. God blessyou with the joy of the real meaning of Christmas in your hearts.Can you imagine our JOY in being able to tell you that our school is now completed?And the excitement of oprning is in the air all around us here at Christianville.Childrens' hearts leap with joy!BUT NOW COMES TtiE BIG TEST OF FAITH!

HOW TO FEED 200 HUNGRY CHILDREN EVERY DAY...HOW TO PAY FIVE TEACHERS. A COOK, JANITOR..

The Lord laid the answer to this on our hearts two months ago and we have now esta-blisned a PROGRAT^I FOR DIRECT SPONSORSHIP FOR individual children.

HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO HAVE A VERY BEAUTIFUL

CHRISTMAS GIFT...A NEW CHILD IN YOUR LIFE !

Here is an opportunity to sponsor direct with no overheadeating part of your child's support. Your money will allgo directly to the care of your child.

The pictures we have taken-color prints, are absolutely darlingl But one woman inchoosing to sponsor said, ''send me the ugliest one and I will love him." But eachboy and girl has a beauty all of its own and each one is precious in the sight ofJesus.

But friends, v;e need you in a very special way...to understand that it won't reallyhelp for you to use the support you are already giving, to exchange that for a child.We need you to help us get your friends interested in taking a child..or for you totake a child in addition to your support of our regular mission needs.

What an exciting life the Lord has challenged us with here in Haiti! Every day hasits new and wonderful joy even in spite of the problems, hard work, heat, dissapoint-ments, momentary discouragements. We have to smile at each other sometimes as we remember saying to one another, "come on now, don't get discouraged!" The Lord is good.

AND HERE IS ONE OTHER CHRISTMAS SURPRISE! Ke have taken another little boy into ourhome..a Haitian child. Nicholas, 11 years old, speaks English, was deserted by anAmerican who took him from babyhood and then found it necessary to leave him in Haiti.He was a destitute child and knows neither father nor mother. Nicholas is now adjustsing to life with his new brothers and family. When we heard of his plight we couldn'tturn him down. You will soon see pictures of him in the Evangel.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS to all of you...thanks for your wonderful understanding and care.God bless you much. Keep looking to Jesus!/

DEDICATION

CHRISTIANVILLE

CLINIC

A work finished., and a work begun.Mi This is dedication. The long weeks of

^ hard labor, cement dust, sweat and/ J aching muscles -all have contributed

i M to the dayof success. Yes. it was October 17th. The morning dawned with

our Christianvilie family scurrying around with last minute touches. There werefloors to sweep after an all night workout on laying the last of the tiles.. Waynenever went to bed until after4 a.m.

Sandwiches and fruit punch were prepared in the kitchen with Auntie in thelead there. The small boys caried benches for the assembly of well-wishers inthe clinic reception room and Daddy Herget and Uncle Sam hurried up anddown with last minute touches on painting and carpentry work. Jim Hayeshad earlier done the shelves in the pharmacy room, hung the doors, and built acabinet and examination table for the Doctor.

At nine a.m. we assembled for the dedication. The Cookston Hills churchchoir surprised us with some lovely music and Pastor Salnave Desarmes, ourHaitian Director, brought the message. It was a heart-warming time to knowthat our dreams had come true for a medical clinic for Christianville's manyneedy people. The pharmacy was well stocked for the first outreach and equipment. some already in and some on the way. will be a great aid. Future needsare a matter for prayer.

But let us describe our building. The floors are of cement tile, a light greenmottled with white. Doors are varnished mahogany. There are two examinationrooms, an office, a store room, a pharmacy and a dental lab. The receptionroom runs across the front of the building and can be used for a teaching center. The roof is a cement slab and windows are glass jalousies while the wallsare of cut stone. We praise God for this lovelybuilding, built for the future on agood foundation. FAME pledged $12,000.00 of the $18,000.00 total cost. Wethank God for FAfVIE's gift that brought the building into final reality.

Now we need your prayers for the future of Christianville Clinic.

registration. School will open inJanuary and she has already agreedto be registrar there and to do generalsupervision.

She hails from Canada, British Co

lumbia, and heard about Christianville during her year of missionarytraining with Teen Missions. She offered her services for two years andcomes supported through Teen Missions. Tracy, a precious Christian, anuntiring worker and a clever girl of 19years, is a gift from the Lord.

Sa femme, Dr. M.D. Marc se joint alors a luidans le travail, et actuellennent, ils offrent leur service a la communaute deChristianville trois fois par semaine au cours de I'aprds-midi et de la soiree.Beaucoup de nos medicaments proviennent de source americaine.

RICE

PROJECT

When we came to Haiti our limited farming knowiedge and experience didnot include the planting of rice. However, we tackied the job with our goaibeing to raise rice for our schooi feeding program. We flooded three acres ofland, planted the rice and waited. The rice grew beautifuily. Then the birdscame and we hired a boy to drive them away each morning. Then strong windscame and blew down a fair sized section. But reaping time aiso came andWayne was right on the job. Here you see him pounding the rice loose from thebush and preparing it for the poiishing machine. The roof of our house made anexcellent drying place and when the job was finished there was nearly 2000pounds of rice.

NICHOLASOur family has increased. Nicholas wasbrought up by an American family in Haitiand speaks English fluently. In fact, hespeaks English better than he does Frenchor Creole. He has spent time in the U.S. ontwo ocasions. But alas, his adopted family ^found it Impossible to keep Nicholas anylonger. He was in desperate need of a home.For him to return to the simple culture of hisoriginal farm family would have been a greatshock to him at the age of 11 years. Oh how ||M *'very good the Lord is... Nicholas found ourfamily and we found Nicholas. Hehas been WMa perfect "fit" into our home and now atten- W Vds French school with his new brothers. We . "*are again reminded of your goodness to usinsomuch that we are able to take another !little fellow into our arms and hearts. Thank .you for your support and care!

Patients begin to gather at Clinic hour awaitingthe arrival of our Doctors. They come from nearbyvillages, from high up in the mountains from thenearby town of Gressier and from as far as Port-au-Prince. All are in need of help. How we praiseGod for the opportunity of assisting our brothersand sisters on the road to health and healing.

THE GOSPEL OUTREACH

Christianville Church has met under this coconut palm booth fora yearanda half now and we have seen the power of the Gospel at work among ourpeople. We hold our own Bible School and Worship hour in English while ourHaitian Pastorholds Sunday School inthe Creole language. Then we join In themorning worship hour in the booth. Wayne has been an excellent interpreterand we have enjoyed these months of worship both with new Christians andwith those seeking. There are now 22 baptized Haitian Christians in the churchwith an attendance of between 50 and 70. We have great hopes for the churchas we are to be able to meet soon in the hall of our new school building.Meetings should be more steady with electricity and with protection from the

CHRISTIANVILLE SCHOOL

The cernent roller is still rolling but it will not be long before the jobis finished.This isthe December picture ofour school building, an almost completed goal.You will agree that it is a lovely building and with its four large classrooms,assembly-dining hall, office and kitchen, should be very efficient. Openingdate is ser for January 7, 1981 and there are 200 children registered and very

excited aboutattending. We have prayerfully ventured into a Sponsorship program for support of daily lunches, uniforms, books and teachers salaries. Wecovet your prayers.

We were privileged to have RalphEbanks working with us for sevenmonths during 1980. Ralph is a Jamaican and worked for us more than15 years helping to build our youthcamps and other projects in Jamaica.It was like old family times to havehim with us here and he did an excellent job with Christianville'smasonry.He promised to return and help usagain before very long. Ralph became

aChriSUn under our minis\ry when heV^as in his early ivjenties. God blessyou Ralph.

CHRISTIANVILLE JUNIOR mwONE OF Jj^

OUR DAYS hiOur week days start off almost alike.At 5:30 a.m. the boys get up for a bathand then go out and move their goats.

Meanwhile Auntie is preparing breakfast. There is always time for a little funalong the way and that's what makes the mad rush at leaving time. We shouldbe on the road at 6:30 and there is Byron at the first gate waiting to open it.Someone else takes his port at the second one. But first there is Uncle Samgiving a last goodbye and a quick check on tucked-in shirts. It'sMom's day fortown and Daddy is taking his turn at home.

The first ten minutes is for homework review

and seven littie guys are memorizing spelling

'^' words. Then it is time for devotions. We singseveral songs and choruses and then a message is

, brought by one boy. each taking a turn as his dayV^i^Eg comes. At the end he leads in prayer. We are now

traffic of town and it is time for Scrip-

^ memorizing. We work for the next twenty mi-nutes on verses. (The boys can recite 35 verseswell). We review them all each day and learn a newone each week as we plow through the traffic.

y M Nicholas is struggling to catch up with the verses1^45 that at the other boys have already learned.

Here we are at school and there is just time for aquick picture befor getting out of the van. Their

smilessay hi to youand promise that theywiil do well at school today.

On the way home we might stop for bread or peanutsto give to the childrenon Christianville Road as we return.Theyarealways around ready to shout bonSois to us as we pass.

At home it is time for a little play and a few chores as well. The chickensneed wafer and food or there is an errand to the village. The hitchen SfPellS

good - Auntie is in there getting dinner and she willsoon ring the bell. After dinner comes songtime, Biblelesson and prayers. Yes, thesun has slipped behing thecoconut palms and boys are 11^^yawning. It's good-night and we have had a happy day. Outside you can hearthe cows mooing, thedonkeys braying and the crickets singing. It's lovely tolive in thecountry and it's lovely to live in a Christian family.
