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. The QR code located below will allow you a quick connect to my book page at WestBowPress.com for more book information and/or to order a book directly from them. The book is also available on Amazon.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,

Our schools here in America are in full swing. Jennie and I have all five of our grandchildren in school now. They are enrolled from Pre-K all the way to the 10th grade. Our school in Haiti will begin on September 5th.

Pastor Baptiste sent me some pictures of the cloth he purchased in bulk that is used for the school uniforms (see the enclosed photos). Since Haiti continues to have major unrest and insecurity, the material had to be brought from Port au Prince on a boat to the shoreline near our school. We appreciate all the folks who helped us with the uniform and book project this year.

He also sent me some photos of the rebuild of our cooking area. The covering was getting old and a recent storm pretty much finished it off. Previously, it was wood framing covered in metal. We are building it back with concrete block which will make it cooler as well as more durable. Our feeding program at the school is very important. We try to feed them a hot meal every school day. The cost of food has greatly increased with world food prices coupled with the ongoing security problems in Haiti. All this makes everything more difficult thus more expensive. Thank you all who support our work, you keep our wheels turning!

We also try to provide a chicken leg meal at least once per month for our students. Since Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, it is very important to furnish some protein as we can. When we first began the chicken leg meals, pastor told me this was the first time in many of these kids lives, that they had one piece of chicken just for themselves. We appreciate Mary Emily Royal in Sardis City for helping with this project. She started raising money for this project when she was in middle school and now she is in her first year of college. Thanks Mary Emily and all of you who give to this project.

Our first water well project in Uganda has been completed. It supplies water for one village and the surrounding area. About 1500 plus people will get good water from this well. They had been getting water from a swamp area during the rainy season and walking about 18 miles to a lake in the dry season to get water. They were so happy and excited for the water source. Godfrey Eskola did a great job administrating this project. We greatly appreciate all those who helped with this major project. Water is a great necessity for life and a great blessing. The gift of it exhibits the love of Jesus.

One of our ministry partners in an Asian country oversees fifteen village churches and their respective pastors. He recently held a pastors conference for several pastors in the area. He through our assistance supplements many widows with monthly food provisions. They also have food outreaches among the homeless in a large city. We have plans to visit there in 2023.

Please pray for another one of our ministry partners in another Asian country who operates a Christian school. Life and ministry are even more difficult when you are in a Christian minority country.

Thank you all for your prayers and financial support. Rejoicing in the salvation which is by grace through faith, I am…

Yours on the Journey,
