HAITI—Praise the Lord for the 50th anniversary celebration. Thank God for all that He has done through OMS in Haiti. On Sunday, they celebrated with the Emmaus Fellowship of Churches and all of the visitors.

Pray for unity of the Bethesda Medical Clinic staff, working together with the new staff of the AIDS Clinic. Pray as well for the construction of the new AIDS facilities to be completed soon; pray that the additional space will help with staff problems.

Keep the Haitian people lifted up in prayer. The high cost of everything is hurting many families and organizations. The daily numbers that go to the clinic has never been so low. May the Lord work in that country so that people will turn their eyes upon Him.

Summer is quickly approaching, and many are leaving. Pray for the missionary staff remaining to have good health, strength and stamina to carry on.

Construction is proceeding well at the new Emmaus Biblical Seminary. Ask for more work teams to go and help. They especially need skilled trades people.

A special request has come from Sherry, who is translating the ECC books into Creole: “Every time I try to work on T&M Creole these last few days, an overwhelming sleepiness comes over me. This has happened for the last five days. I have ruled out any physical reason, and I am now realizing that this is likely a spiritual issue. I’m tired all day long but extremely so when I do Creole booklets. My goal is to finish Creole this weekend. I am making progress but not nearly what I had hoped. Perhaps T&M will be even more useful there than we had hoped and the enemy of our souls is trying to play this silly trick…. As if we would quit just because we are tired! Never.”
