News & Upates from TEM

I cannot remember such a wonderful weekend as I had visiting some friends in Winkler, Manitoba, Canada. Several years ago I was blessed to meet some young Canadian girls in Haiti when Linda Blankenship, a missionary friend,...

I will make this very short. I know you all are busy and don’t have time to read a long explanation of the needs of our school for this year. Bottom line is we need $6500 to build a new office and another outdoor classroom,...

  The 2nd Annual Teachers Conference is over and what a success it was! All the Haitian teachers are already asking when we will have the next one. As you can see the team members are on their way home. I want to thank...

Report by Vicki Thornell, Dana Williamson, & Jennifer Jones Days like today make us realize just how fortunate we are! God has truly blessed us in unimaginable ways and we take it for granted. Our first stop of the day...

Report by Elizabeth Johnson This morning we went to church, and then this afternoon we ventured out to the voodoo village, and visited a few huts along the way. The thing that caught me the most off guard was that even in...

Report by Lisa Downing The Teachers Conference concluded today with great success! Our teachers presented techniques to engage students in learning, as Haitian classrooms are traditional style. Vicki and Dana presented...

Report by Ruth Joslyn Looking into people's eyes--that is what I find myself doing constantly since arriving in Haiti yesterday. What is their story? What have they had to do just to make it one more day? Is there anything...

Tomorrow we will pick up the team from Fort Walton Beach FL, mostly teachers from Cinco Christian School. Clint and Lisa Downing will be leading this team, with the help of Sandy Perez and many others. We will start the...

Today has been a busy day; this is usually the way it is before a team comes in. (This week we will have the 2nd Annual Teachers Conference.) Nobody really understands what it takes to get prepared for a team, so I thought...

    Up early this morning to load up on Gabriel and head to the airport - it's time to go home!

Report by Jenna Bonswa, Zamis! Today is our last day here in this wonderful country of Haiti. It is such a bittersweet day; bitter because I don't want to leave the children or the people, and sweet because I know I will be...

By Bro. Chuck I want to thank the people who made donations for the medical clinic/hospital we plan to build here in Z’Orange, and show you the photos of the foundations that were built for the walls - we are almost...

Report by Rachel Last night we walked down to Daniel's voodoo village and we showed the Jesus film. Pastor Chuck and some of the translators hung up a white sheet and hooked up a projector to show the film. It was awesome...

Report by Pastor Mike As I woke up early this morning and listened to the surrounding community coming to life, it reminded me of the "noises" we allow to creep into the stillness of our lives. The psalmist knew, in Psalm...

Report by Corinne Wow - this experience so far is amazing! God has truly blessed us with this opportunity. When we arrived in Haiti I think for most of the team it was culture shock; just looking at the houses and people,...

Report by Rhyanna This morning we all woke up and spread out to do individual devotions, then came together to eat breakfast and have a group devotional. After breakfast we rehearsed our VBS skit. It was about David and...

    The team from Wright Baptist Church of Fort Walton Beach FL had a safe trip to Haiti today. Stay tuned for this week's adventures . . .

I returned to Haiti on Thursday, June 5, to prepare for the Wright Baptist Church team (my home church) and found things normal - chaotic . . . it’s Haiti - if it were any different I would think I had landed on the wrong...

As most everyone familiar with TEM knows, we have been working in Pakistan for the last 3 years. We are blessed to work with Pastor Suhail and 9 other pastors who risk their lives every day preaching and teaching the...

We got up about 4:45 this morning to grab a quick breakfast before making the trip down the mountain. Gabriel took most of the team, and the rest rode in the Ford with me. It was dark when we left, so we got to see a...

Day 7 Philip:  Today is our last day in Z’orange. It has been a great week worshiping and working with my Haitian brothers and sisters. God has been visibly working here, and I’m thankful to be a part of the work He is...

Day 6 Cat:  Wednesday was the second day of the ladies conference. I did not sleep well the night before because I was still having some pain in my eyes. I am not a fan of wearing glasses, so it has been frustrating wearing...

Day 5 Philip:  This morning at 6:30 some members of the team - Jeff, Cat, Lance, Samantha, Vonda and I, and our interpreter Paritan - hiked up the mountain to visit Jerusalem II church. This was a trip I have been looking...

Day 4 Cat:  Waking at 5 a.m. hearing people praise the Lord is a pretty amazing experience; the roosters crow along with the singing. In America, we take our worship for granted. Often, we make excuses for not going to...
