    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 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...

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 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...

Last night we went up to Jerusalem IV in Gabriel and brought 2 truckloads of people down to Jerusalem I. Then we had an exciting time. You'll see in the photos that everyone was up on their feet singing and dancing - even...

Report by Pastor Lonnie Happy Saturday! Most Americans can appreciate a good walk…especially on a Saturday morning. Now, I don't know about yours, but our Saturday has been blessed with a walk of a different nature…much...
