Back in Haiti as of this afternoon.
The Board Meeting weekend was event-full, excellent-productive meeting and so, so good to be with our dedicated team of Board Members.
Monday March 26 through yesterday was non-stop fun with my children, Mark and Hannah, and Mom and Dad. Good rest and wonderful memory making week in Naples! I did slip in a few opportunities to meet with a college and two churches. As well as talk up our students wherever and whenever possible.
We are praying about an opportunity that has come up, for one of our students to attend Lindsey-Wilson College in Kentucky. We will have the decision by the financial benefactors after April 7. So please be praying this comes through, as the seven students who went through the application process at Bowdoin, Trinity, and College of the Atlantic were not accepted at any of the schools. Very disheartening for our students; God knows where they are supposed to be.

This is a reminder to check out the tabs on this blog to see how you may be able to "serve alongside" our students. We need financial supporters for our three Florida Gulf Coast University applicants. A financial affidavit will need to be submitted vouching for the student financially, although that does NOT mean it's the amount that one needs to actually pay since we have applied and continue to apply for scholarships. The U.S. government needs this requirement to be met in order to apply for a Student Visa: http://enrollment.fgcu.edu/admissions/financialforms.htm
