God continues to bless and direct Living Water Ministries. How blessed we are to realize that what is happening through this ministry is a direct result of His mighty hand.

Our Food Program Superintendent, Pierre, who closely monitors the distribution and compliance of the usage, presented a list of schools for consideration to Pastor Etienne. Pastor Etienne visited those schools and made the decision that we should add ten schools in La Reserve. This area is near Guinaudee. Those of you who have traveled to Guinaudee know that portions of that road are almost impassable and the road to La Reserve is even worse. Pastor arranged with the people that they will come out to an area where our truck can navigate so they can pick up the food. They will transport it back to their schools via donkey.

We praise God through the financial provisions He gives to us. Again, He has made sure that our supporters donate what is needed to meet another month of payroll. This is unquestioned confirmation that He wants us to do what is being done. Our monthly budget covers the salaries of our 4 Pastors, 28 Teachers, 2 Nurses, 2 Campus Security Guards, and support for 3 schools which comes to $6,500. As you can see, there is a huge amount of ministry happening with a small amount of money. Over the last several months we seldom have more than what is needed. We do have money set aside that has been designated for specific areas that we do not consider as part of our working cash, but God never fails to supply what we absolutely need. Thank you for your continued support.

We have other needs that we are trusting God to provide. A rather urgent need is to purchase books, uniforms and school supplies for the opening of the schools in September ($20,000). Additionally, there is urgency in digging a water well for Ti-Anse ($600), trying to find a way to build a replacement school for Anse Rouge ($50,000), purchase a truck to distribut food to the villages ($22,000), generate enough money to expand our over-crowded churches ($$$), etc. God has been totally faithful in making it possible for us to meet our commitments. We would so much like to see other funds come in to take care of these other projects. We are pursuing various grant opportunities. We greatly appreciate any donations you can make to our General Fund which will allow us the freedom to take care of our obligations. Our financial records are always available for your review.

Kirby Kepner is spending some time in Haiti right now to become acclimated to make sure he is prepared to launch out in full time ministry there. His reports are filled with excitement, praise, and great expectations of the work that God will use him to do. He has been working around the campus to help improve the appearance. He and Beau have been spending time in the villages each day as they minister to the people through singing, testimonies, and Baptism classes. They are teaching him Creole while he and Beau are teaching them English. What a delight to see things advance and the faith of many grow in the knowledge and grace of our Lord. Some days they stay overnight in the villages and some nights they sleep at the Campus.

He has encountered trials, nevertheless, God is in the midst of everything. He mentioned some things that are important to help them with their ministry such as an inverter system to generate electricity, tires for their vehicles, materials to build his house, and a Jeep for him to use for transportation. Please keep Kirby in your prayers.
