I've had a great first week! I love serving at Christian Light School in Haiti! The first few days were a little rough as I got adjusted to being here again. Now I'm settling in.
One of my favorite parts of my first week has been learning Creole. Emmanuella, one of the older girls, has been doing a great job teaching me! I don't think it will be long before I'm speaking Creole with confidence. I've also really enjoyed getting to know some of the kids better. We have so many great kids! I'm blessed to be able to work with them and work toward improving their lives. I hope I can bless them as much as they bless me each and every day.
This week I taught a 7th grade class some math and science in the mornings. I definitely wasn't expecting to be teaching this early on, but we had some voids to fill so I volunteered to help. I will probably be filling in for some other classes from time to time until the end of the semester. I've also made myself available to tutor students if they would like my help.
So far I'm tackling one thing at a time with the financial work. I'm really focused on the management side at the moment. It feels good to know that I'm here for the long haul, so I have no reason to rush anything. It gives me a chance to implement changes at a reasonable pace. There are so many things I'd like to do. There are a number of improvements I believe we can see realized in the coming weeks and months. I'm very excited!
I'm so glad to be here! I know I'm right where I need to be. Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support! It's awesome to know that so many people are praying for me and this ministry! Thank you for being a part of what God is doing here! Your sacrifices allow me to have the best job a man could ask for! Thank you Lord for giving me the opportunity to serve you in full time ministry!

February Support Update!
Wow! What an incredible past few weeks I've had! It has been great visiting churches and having the opportunity to meet and fellowship with other brothers and sisters at home and in Florida. What a blessing!
I loved spending a week in Florida with my grandparents. Not only was I able to spend some quality time with them, I was also given the opportunity to share my testimony at Plant City Church of God. The support I received there was amazing! The people of Plant City Church of God were very generous and welcoming. I know that many of them are praying for me, and some have been led to support me financially. Thank you Plant City Church of God for your support and love for missions!
On Sunday I had a concert at New Life Church with my good friend and brother Matt Riggins. The concert far exceeded our expectations! Over $3,800 in support was raised for my work in Haiti! But that's not the best part - several children are going to be sponsored at Christian Light School, some people would like to visit Haiti, and most importantly, at least one person prayed to receive Jesus as their Savior!!! What an awesome night! Thank you God!!!
God has been doing some other amazing things lately. Things that are almost hard to comprehend. So many people have been touched by what He's doing at Christian Light School. The support and increase of people wanting to help has been overwhelming! I'm so thankful that God has chosen me to be apart of His work at Christian Light School! What a privilege it is to serve the Lord!
As of the end of February (with the addition of the concert on March 2nd), I have received at least $8,590 in support! My recurring monthly support is at least $440/month, and there are a number of other people who are about to start supporting me monthly, so that number should be on the rise soon. Thank you so much for supporting me and the work the Lord has called me to! You have all been a blessing in my life and may God bless you for the sacrifices you are making for His Kingdom!
