You all may be wondering where I’ve been for the past month. I’ve been visiting my best friend in Iowa. Breanna was working with me in Haiti for the past year and she came home shortly after I did. Her mother is a midwife, so I went up to learn some things about midwifery and to visit Breanna. I had a wonderful time learning to know her family, and the biggest thing I learned about midwifery is that I don’t know much. It’s funny, the longer I live, the less I know. I didn’t have enough time to learn everything that Sherri could have taught me. On the 5th, Breanna and I drove here to TN for a few days with my family before we went to North Carolina for a course on Community Health Evangelism.
While I was still in Haiti, God opened my eyes to the enormous need for teaching the basics of health to the Haitian people. It began as a simple thought to teach a few of the girls that I know, and now has grown far beyond my wildest imaginations into an idea to start a community health program. Me and my capabilities were left in the dust long ago, and now I am being swept along in a current of God’s making. I am overwhelmed by the huge need, but even more so by the huge tools that God is putting into my hands. I’ve always been scared of running power tools; big machine operating was never an option. But it seems as if God is putting me into a big machine and telling me He wants me to be at least a part of its operation. I heard about the Community Health Evangelism (CHE) course at Equip International in NC, and God opened the way for Breanna and I to go there along with my dad. The program they teach there is really good, it is exciting to think of all that you can do through CHE. It is also a huge job. I don’t know when we will be able to implement the things they taught us in NC, but I do know that I am not capable of doing it myself. I need the grace and power of God to even go about learning what I need to know before going back to Haiti this fall. Please pray for me, that God would continue to guide me, and that He would provide all my needs, spiritual, physical, and financial. Thank you for taking an interest in my life, the prayers and support from you all is a huge blessing.
