Friends of Haiti:

steve and terry 1995Terry’s progress is going really well. One thing — she can’t take the follow up medicine that helps prevent it from coming back. In some people, her being one of them, it causes a very bad and itchy rash….all over her body. Her next round of blood testing is the 23rd of this month and hopefully between now and then they will come up with a solution. So let’s all pray she is a person who doesn’t need that particular medicine.

With everything else going on we didn’t mention that March marked the twentieth anniversary of the ministry. It really was a very fast twenty years and years we wouldn’t take back for anything, because to us it has been nothing but a blessing. It goes without saying all of you have been a part of that blessing. Who knows how many people you have helped feed or provide medicine for during that time…the number of kids who have learned how to read and write?

Without Terry’s blessing (she doesn’t like the picture) I have included one that was taken of us Thanksgiving 1995  when we were still working on the island of La Gonave, just off the coast of Haiti and her first trip there. You may know it was not a good trip for her because of all the political problems going on at that time; missing our flight home; and not knowing where to go that night. But God provided for that just as He has for all the needs since.

It has been a very good twenty years, because of you, and because we know it is what we are supposed to be doing. It has been your unselfish giving that has made everything done possible.

As always thank you for praying for Terry and helping our friends in Haiti.

Steve and Terry

P.S. Since I don’t have to be with Terry 24 hours a day now, by the time you read this I will be back in Haiti for the first trip back since she was diagnosed. It will be good to see everyone again.
