September 6th 2017 Miracles happen This has been a very busy week. We were involved in a agricultural conference. The conference was given by the Haitian agronomist we work with, we were happy to see how well he put it together with very little help or support. The conference was well attended and the participants were very engaged. I did not attend the conference each day because I was trying to find help for my young friend Maxo.

Last Friday Sr. Jackie was struck by a speeding hit and run moto in front of Fonkoze, our local peasant bank.

It does not appear that her injuries are life threatening. Please pray for her and those who are ministering to her. Please put her on your prayer list. Mèci anpil
