Dear brothers and sisters,
Greetings to you in the name of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
I arrived here in the US a month ago. I have had the privilege of being with brothers and sisters in three churches in Missouri: Connection Christian Church (Saint-Louis), Northside Christian Church (Warrensburg), and Parkview Christian Church (Sedalia). I then went to ICOM in Atlanta. I had a good time at the convention.
After the convention, God has allowed me to be with the brothers and sisters of First Christian Church in Franceville (IN), those of Miamitown Church of Christ, and those of Spring Hill Church of Christ. The latter two Churches are in Ohio. I had a wonderful time with you all. May God continue to bless you richly.
Last night, I had an extraordinary meeting with members of the Sardinia Christian Church mission team. I thank God for each person who was present. May God continue to use them in amazing ways. Tonight, I will meet with the brothers and sisters of CMF, a mission team that has been doing incredible work in Haiti until they were unable to travel due to the situation there.
Many things have happened since I left Haiti. The University launched the new academic year. The construction of the new classes has continued by the grace of God. The preschools, the elementary schools, the high schools, the vocational school, the health clinic, the orphanage, and the churches have continued to serve their respective purposes. Praise be to God! Pray for total victory over those who continue to sabotage the radio station.
Another fun development is that Haiti has qualified for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the US, Canada, and Mexico. The people of Haiti finally have something to celebrate. We are pleased about that.
I am sorry to report that things have not improved in Haiti over the last few weeks. Instead, the gangs continue to multiply. The gang Grand Grif (big claws) massacred people in Pont-Sondé a couple of weeks ago, and the gang Kokorat San Ras did the same at L’Estère last week. Please continue to pray for Haiti.
I am also sorry to let you know that my mother-in-law passed away. Thanks to all of you who prayed for her and who are praying for us. I will shorten my trip to return home this week.
Thank you all for making this trip a success. I will not be able to mention all of you who have made it special but allow me to thank the following people: Jacob Schlatter, Steven Amos, Bob Stacy, Rick and Paula Beauchamp, Brian Jessica, Preston, and Dawson Sevits, Mark and Julie Curtis, Ken and Pat Croll, Ron and Jodie Schlatter, Jim and Darlene Williams, Dusty and Jessica DeLafield, Les and Becky Robinson, Terry and Lisa West, and Scott and Nancy Mays. Thank you so much! May God shower HIS blessings on all of you who have made this trip so memorable.
I have shared with many of you that we need musical instruments and a sewing machine. If you have only one to send, please mail it to:
Iroquois Valley Christian Church
2335 Bunkum Rd
Rensselaer, IN 47978
Brother Calvin Steinke has volunteered to personally deliver them to Fort-Pierce, Florida to deliver them to MFI. Our brothers and sisters at Missionary Flight International will eventually fly them to Haiti, and one of us from Living Water will be there to receive them. Please let me know if you send us anything.
Yours and His,
Salonque Adolphe and Team
