Michigan Group arrives again


The Hands and Feet project was once again visited by the wonderful group from Michigan led by the none other than Steve Fair. We were all excited for the hard working groups that have visited and this group followed in the traditions of Michigan. They are such a loving group that shows the love of God. It was a fun week with all kinds of excitment. From "Snipe" hunting to taranchila hunting to Tropical storm Fay. We feel so sorry for the Michigan group, for they have yet to make it to or from Haiti without Plane problems, this time they had to sit in Port-au-Prince until 5:30p.m. on the day they were to leave, because of the storm. Through the help of the group, everyone was able to move into their new homes. Drex and Jo to their new apartment, Michelle to her new aparment, and Larry to his new apartment. There are a few prayer request: Drex and Jo are the States for a short visit. Our kids returning to school, Larry Jumper joining in, and the mission in general. Thanks for all of your prayers.

Michelle, Drex and Jo

Habakkuk 2:3 (Amplified Bible)

3For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.(A)

Ephesians 1:19 (Amplified Bible)

19And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength,

John 14:12-15 Amplified

12I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father.
13And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as [b]presenting all that I AM], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son.(A)
14[Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in My Name [as [c]presenting all that I AM].
15If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.

27Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]

2 Timothy 1:7

7For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.


Luke 22:31,32 New International Reader’s Version

31 "Simon, Simon! Satan has asked to sift you disciples like wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon. I have prayed that your faith will not fail. When you have turned back, help your brothers to be strong."

Luke 11:9,10 New International Reader’s Version
9 "So here is what I say to you. Ask, and it will be given to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. 10 Everyone who asks will receive. He who searches will find. And the door will be opened to the one who knocks.

Matthew 9:38 (New International Reader's Version)
38 So ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers out into his harvest field."

Ephesians 1:16-23 (New International Reader's Version)
16 I have not stopped thanking God for you. I always remember you in my prayers.
17 I pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is the glorious Father. I keep asking him to give you the wisdom and understanding that come from the Holy Spirit. I want you to know God better.
18 I also pray that your mind might see more clearly. Then you will know the hope God has chosen you to receive. You will know that the things God's people will receive are rich and glorious. 19 And you will know his great power. It can't be compared with anything else. It is at work for us who believe. It is like the mighty strength 20 God showed when he raised Christ from the dead.
He seated him at his right hand in his heavenly kingdom. 21 There Christ sits far above all who rule and have authority. He also sits far above all powers and kings. He is above every title that can be given in this world and in the world to come.
22 God placed all things under Christ's rule. He appointed him to be ruler over everything for the church. 23 The church is Christ's body. It is filled by Christ. He fills everything in every way.



Ephesians 3:14-20 (New Living Translation)
14 When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father,[a] 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.[b] 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Philippians 4:4,6,7,13,14
4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!
6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
13I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who [g]infuses inner strength into me; I am [h]self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].
14But it was right and commendable and noble of you to contribute for my needs and to share my difficulties with me.
Philippians 4:19 (New King James Version)

19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
