A Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving to You!

We have so much to be thankful for; I thank God for each and every one of you who are reading this blog; for all those who God has uniquely placed in my life.

I just arrived back late last night from a week in California. It was a week filled with experiencing God's leading, allowing for meetings and meeting people that He uniquely orchestrated.

The week included meetings with The Master's College and Seminary, Biola University and Westmont College. We will be submitting applications to The Master's College and Westmont as the meetings were very favorable for scholarship for our Philo students. Also we were introduced to other colleges to contact in the future through those I met on the trip.

Hugues met up with me in Los Angeles following his conference in New York with Digicel, and we were able to meet with supportive friends, and a foundation who supports Coalition of Children in Need Association (COCINA) to provide an update on the ministry and further COCINA's relationship with each one of them. This past Sunday, we received such a blessing through worshipping with Shadow Mountain Community Church and then having the opportunity to meet with Dr. David Jeremiah. It was Hugues first time hearing Dr. Jeremiah preach. What a man of God! And he preached on…Thankfulness and Thanksgiving! Go figure!!

Not only is it very exciting to meet new people in this journey, but also happen to see people who I haven't seen in a long time, too. Please keep Rob Provost and his wife in your prayers, who serve the Lord in Albania. I've known Rob since high school. They just happened to be at The Master's College the same day we were visiting! And what a huge blessing to spend a lot of time with my long time friend and Godmother of my son, Paula. I loved how we picked up on conversation as if it was just yesterday we had seen each other, when actually it had been years since we last saw each other. No time lapses with our friendship, Paula!

Thank you again to those who welcomed us in their homes, provided meals both at restaurants and in their homes, and encouraged us in the ministry. 

I am so grateful today for all He has done, all He is doing and all He has yet to do. And, I  am grateful for you!

Recent Graduates of Faculty of Nursing Science of the Episcopal University of Haiti in Léogâne

Graduated from Institution Univers first graduating class in 2009

Congratulations, Ladies! 

The nursing director asked Met Pas if she could hire two of the four of "our" students for her own staff. Although we are all very honored at the request, he replied, 'No, they are needed at Univers Medical Centre.' Welcome back to Ouanaminthe, Ladies, as you begin your nursing career.

Will you consider financially supporting a nursing student through the "COCINA College Scholarship Fund"? The cost is $7,000 per year per student for four years - of course, we welcome a partial or full scholarship!
