I pray you all are doing well. Schools here in the United States are about to begin a new year. Our grandkids will start August 9th. We have five grandchildren with the oldest beginning her junior year of high school and our youngest beginning kindergarten. They almost span the whole range. We need to pray for all of our students, not only for a good education, but also for their physical safety and proper spiritual influence.
Schools in Haiti begin September 11th. Some schools were temporarily closed last year because of the violence. Some schools especially in Port-au-Prince are venerable to the gang violence and insecurity because of their location near gang hot spots. Thankfully our location is in a rural area which gives us some insulation from the gang activity. Pastor Baptiste and his staff have kept our school open. They are faithfully working in these difficult times to keep the ministry of the school and church progressing while the country regresses. I guess if it was easy everyone would be doing it. Light and goodness always shines the brightest in the midst of darkness and evil.
We sent the money for the school uniforms this past month. Last year the material had to be transported by boat instead of by truck for safety reasons. It will probably be the same this year. It seems the situation is getting worse rather than better. Please pray for peace, security, and order in Haiti. We continue to provide for our work in the school and church.
I enjoyed preaching at Eglise Porte Etroite (Haitian Church in Albertville) on July 23rd. It was my first time to preach in their newly acquired facilities on Rose Road (previously Pilgrim’s Rest Baptist Church). It has a much larger sanctuary built in 1995 with a seating capacity of about three hundred. When I preach there, they want me to come back on Sunday night for a Q & A session where I give a quick overview of the morning’s message and then have a time of questions and answers about the morning message. It is quite interesting and fun. Pastor Johny Pierre Charles also helps explain and expound on some of the points as well.
Journey of the Messiah, Book Update: Pleasant Valley FCM Church in Gallant will host a book discussion with me on Sunday night, August 27th at 5:00 pm. It is like a question and answer format. They invite everyone to come. Contact me if you would like to host a book signing, book discussion, or speaking engagement. I have copies of the book you can purchase directly from me or you can order online at WestBowPress.com.

We appreciate all of your interest, concern, prayers, and financial support for the ministry of Pathway Outreach Ministries. Without God’s anointing and blessings, and your prayers and support, we would be a straw in the wind. Thank you all for your contributions!
Rejoicing in the salvation which is by grace through faith, I am…
Yours on the Journey,
