So happy to share with you about all that God is doing here in Haiti. This week has been very exciting! We arrived on Saturday with no problems. Sunday we went to deaf Sunday school and church. The deaf are really learning more about the bible and how to find answers in the Bible to questions asked.
Monday through Wednesday (today) we spent the mornings visiting the deaf in their homes and praying for their needs. We also got to visit the deaf tutoring center where played with the three deaf girls who are attending there.
Part of our team spent the mornings digging holes to plant 5 trees in the village. Thank God for the rain as it made the ground much softer.
In the afternoons we are having VBS with anywhere from 150-200 kids!! I am in charge of the 3 deaf girls, I am interpreting and teaching them the Bible stories and lessons taught we then have craft time and snack. It gets a bit crazy at times as I am sure you can imagine!
Tomorrow will look similar to today then Friday is our day of rest. The team will be leaving on Saturday then I will be doing pastor training with our three deaf pastors in training for next week. After that we have four deaf Ed experts coming to give a 3 day training with me to the teachers of the deaf in Haiti. This will help us to launch our Training Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
The most exciting news is we just found out the funds have been donated in full for the school in Leveque. This school will have 9 hearing classes and 2 deaf classes! Praise The Lord for those willing to support this ministry!
Blessings to all,
Kathryn Montoya
