Below is our most recent blog for the Baptist Haiti Mission website.  Check it out:

John 17:17- “Sanctify them through your word, your word is truth.”

Over 68,000 students are enrolled in Christian schools associated with Baptist Haiti Mission.  Over the past few years BHM has been in the process of developing a Bible Curriculum for these schools.  This curriculum has been uniquely designed to take students through the Scriptures, focusing on the redemptive history throughout the Bible, from 1st grade to 6th grade.  The curriculum includes Bible stories, songs, review questions, memory verses, and other tools that will show the students their need for a Savior.  We are pleased to announce the 1st grade curriculum is complete!

School started in Haiti last week.  We were thrilled to see the books were completed in time for this school year.  Over the next several days the books will be distributed to schools throughout the provinces.  Upon the arrival of the books, a training conference was held for school coordinators.

More than 30 school coordinators gathered at BHM’s conference center to receive training in the teaching of the curriculum.  These coordinators will now return to their districts and train the school teachers.

Each 1st grade teacher will receive a hard back copy of the text book.  Students will receive a workbook that consists of a coloring page which coincides with the story.  The bottom of each coloring page also has the memory verse for each week.  These coloring pages can be taken home and shared with parents and family members.  This will be the perfect opportunity for the Word of God and the skill of literacy to be taken into homes throughout Haiti.  We are excited to have the 1st grade curriculum in print, but we realize the journey is far from complete.

Would you join us as we pray for the distribution of the curriculum.  Pray that over the next several days the books will enter 1st grade classrooms throughout the country.  Pray for the further development of the 2nd – 6th grade curriculum.  This is a large project that will require a great amount of prayer and financial support.  Click here: http://www.bhm.org/give/ if you would be interested in giving to the production of the Bible Curriculum.

Thank you Susanne White!  Monica and I are enjoying the skirts you made.  We had a very unintentional "twin-day" and even enjoyed a nice powerwalk.  Thinking of you girl!
