Following a Bible lesson on the Kingdom of God, imagine this group saying the Lord's prayer in English, Creole & Spanish all at the same time, then holding their hands out to receive a blessing as we do each Sunday at ARBC. It was a blessing for Rhonda and Sandi to experience this with these wonderful people!

First thing this morning Paul got Steve and David off to the bus station for a bus ride to Santo Domingo to catch their 4:00 p.m. flight. Pastor Marthyn that we worked with in Santo Domingo was meeting them there to take them to the airport. They will arrive late tonight - continue to pray their safe travels. The kids played games in the park again and Suzanne did caricatures this morning. The games group taught the kids to play 4 square today - they are thinking about teaching them bowling with coke bottles tomorrow. Rhonda and Sandi took Johnny (the translator that speaks English, French, Spanish & Creole) and they went visiting in the area around the Haitian church. What we discovered was that many of the people around the church and attending the church are not only Haitian, but Dominican (Spanish-speaking) and are happily worshiping together - with a Haitian pastor. We met a sweet couple at one home. The wife was blind and you could tell they really loved each other. He was 83 years old, she looked a little younger, but when she came out, he walked over to kiss her and later wanted to kiss her in the photo below.
After lunch break the we had Bible studies at the Haitian church and the blind church. At the blind church they had about 6 adults waiting on their arrival and eventually had about 11 adults. Also, about 15 kids participated in the children's Bible study. Sandi & Rhonda had about 15 adults at their Bible study at the Haitian church. For some reason it takes the people a long time to get there - so Johnny went out to round them up. We realized that they may not have clocks in their homes or maybe time just isn't as important to them as it is to us. There were about 40 kids at the kids Bible study there and it was led by the Glovers. Both groups are expecting more tomorrow!
The construction crew just got back and the photo below is of the curved wall on the front right corner. We have the right hand wall halfway up and the back wall is complete. Mike has the rebar ready to go for the motor entry columns. The front wall is under construction and will be halfway completed tomorrow. Mike Motley - Ken is sorry but he replaced you with Mike Whisenant as his rebar bender. Hey Steve, Ken had to hire 3 Haitians to replace you! We miss you!
