Here's some more stuff for ya

Here's an interesting picrture for you! The piece of tree is actually still holding there and about to be pulled down. What's really amazing is that the man chopped this whole very large tree down with a machete in his bare feet and wit no safety ropes! We saw him bringing rope up thinking he was going to use that for himself but it was just to lower the large branches he would cut through. He was amazing. The amount of hrd wacks he took with the machete was beyond beleif! If I did what he was doing for a couple of hours even I think I'd need some time inthe intensive care unit! THe cuts were very smooth too, because he was mostly kind of shaving them. You can see how smooth in the v shaped opening in the picture. He would sing alot and rythmically with his chopping and I noticed one song was obviously a praise song to 'Jezu" (pronounced 'Jayzee') or to Jesus. I said to him, "oh Jezu, yes and pointed to the sky and smiling and he said "woui" and pointed smiling to the sky too. I think he is a friend of Alex's.
This is James Manzo and I building a shade structure on the roof to raise the small breadfruit trees for the Haitian people to be able to plant and have a source of food or income from them. Breadfruit can be used in many ways -boiled, fried, dried and ground into flour. 3 Angels is working with Trees That Feed. What's great to is Eric and Christine Helgemo couldn't have more experience with raising trees as they previously owned and operated a large tree nursery business in the L.A. area.




These cuty pies are part of a few classes that meet outside because there isn't enough classroom space. That is why they are chopping down the tree (the chalkboard is leaning on) because it was right in the middle of this area and eventually when they get the funds (hint!  hint!)they want to build at least a kind of patio cover to start for them and then enclose it into rooms as funds come in. 
This is Alex. Please keep him in your prayers -he does so much here running the ministry and the school and helping his own church to grow also. He's standing in front of an area outside the damaged orphanage bldg.
 This is also where we have a time of prayer and worship everery morning.


Madam Valet leads the worship time. She is in charge of the women staff who cook and clean for the school, the grounds, and the missionaries lodging house-where I'm staying. She is so full of the joy of the Lord! It's amazing -the picture of her standing in front of this earthquake damaged bldg and poor in material things by our standards yet so rich in the Spirit and praising the Lord like you wouldn't beleive! She is a widow with 3 children and lives in a very small one room home- that was just constructed for her by another team- I'm going to try to get a short video of this praise time for you all to be blessed by.

Blessings Ya'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!       Bob
