Dear Friends,
We first wrote about the village of Bethel in our June 2004 newsletter. Here is an excerpt from that letter.
This past Tuesday, some of us went along with Pastor Diogene and his Port-au-Prince team to share in a Bible Study in the village of Bethel. This is the village we were introduced to through [...]
Dear Friends,
It seems this week everyone is looking back over the past decade. Some make lists of the best and the worst. Some relate memorable experiences and stories. Some merely reflect on where we’ve come these last ten years.
