Hello. To be to the point, we would really like to bring this Haiti book to completion. We have a fair amount of material, (approx.150 pgs.) and after reading it it is still fairly scattered and now we need to give the book more structure and bring it together. For one we have very little about
1. Any of the congregations on the West End
2. We need more on the ‘94[?] Ferry that went down
3. We need material on Fond Michelle, Fond Parisien, Ganthier
4. CSI or CPS experiences
5. Any news clippings or experiences appreciated on hurricanes, etc. unrest.
The outline of the book is
1. Haiti History
2. Haiti Church and Mission History
3. An Overview of the congregations of Haiti, how they got started, etc.
4. CSI and CPS
5. Other Church Projects, Clinics and TB Work
6. Hurricane and Earthquake
I know we we are a busy people and our time is so valuable. However a certain amount has to do with priorities. Presently I run a ice cream shop, build game and cattle fence everyday, and have a wife and two boys and 23 acres to take care of. I come home literally sweat soaked from head to toe from Alabama summer temperatures. I do not say this to boast in any way, but for some reason it just seems right that this book is needed. It has felt good to be involved in this project and if God and the Church wants a book like this I will give my best to it. I feel for some reason that it does some kind of justice to our brethren in Haiti. Try as I might I just want to do something for them as I cannot forget them, my brethren. I believe you perhaps in even a more personal degree know what I am trying to express.
The purpose of this book is to inform, inspire, and remind our brethren about the Great Commission especially as it relates to Haiti. It is not going to be depicted as a glory road, but as a work which we need God’s everyday direction and grace. All this said it is life and if you have some humorous incidents please put them in also.
These questions are to help you write a report quickly and effectively for the book so we can have uniform information on each congregation or outpost. It also allows us to present it in such a way that we can make it come more alive than dry stats to some one who has never been there.
If you can type it on computer and e-mail it---Hooray. Send it to jonluketws@gmail.com
If you can fax it send it to 334-289-8843
If you can mail it 2828 Co Rd 10, Newbern AL 36765
My phone number 334-624-4765
If it is typed we can scan it into our files, but we won’t cry if you must hand write it.
Thank-You very much and may you be blessed for anything you contribute.
