THANK YOU!

A really big thank you to all of those who attended the July 25th MTM Reunion in Terre Haute. It has been estimated that about 250 were in attendance with freinds traveling from as far away as Hamilton, IN, Eureka, IL and Coatesville, IN. We are grateful to all who made the effort to be there to join us in a great time of fellowship!

Our time stateside is quickly coming to an end & we are greatful to those of you who have hosted us in your homes, shared MTM with your churches and with your friends. Many more will now be praying for this ministry, lots of students at the MTM Gramothe & Dumay schools now have sponsors, some others will be traveling to Haiti for the first time in the coming months & many others will be partnering with MTM in other ways. By working together, we get things done!

Since you are reading this blog, you've most likely gotten to it through the new MTM website. We are excited about the new web site & encourage you to utilize it to it's fullest! It is also hoped that you will find it to be a helpful tool to share Mountain Top Ministries with others. Keep checking back here to see what's new!

Again, thank you for blessing our family, the ministry of Mountain Top Ministries and the Haitian people. May God bless you abundantly!

Sincerely,
Willem & Beth

We're in Indiana!

After a hasty flight to Miami since our flight to Fort Lauderdale was cancelled, we were on our way to a couple days' stay at Tybee Island, GA. Our family had a great few days there resting & enjoying some of the sights & activities before beginning our drive to Terre Haute.

(Sorry, no pictures...I'm working on a different computer & having some "technical" difficulties!)

Soon we'll be in a wonderful condo that has been provided for our summer stay. Praise God for his provision of a comfortable place for our family to rest in while we continue in ministry to those around us! A great big thank you to all of you who helped to make these accommodations to happen for us.

DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN?

He is now your brother in Christ!

Sainristil Tilus gave his heart to Jesus yesterday, testifying that he was turning from a life of serving satan with his witchcraft to serving who he now knows to be the One true God of the world!

Praise the Lord!

Sainristil is pictured above with his wife (a long time Gramothe church member) & 2 of his 15 children. His youngest child, Sofia, is presently being adopted to a family in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Church leaders pray with Sainristil before he prays to ask God, in the name of Jesus, to forgive him of his sins & to come into his heart as Lord over his life.

The Gramothe church was very excited about this conversion as they have prayed for this man for many years!

CHECK THIS OUT!

New Jersey school teacher, Laura Gesin, came to visit us in March during her spring break.

A year ago December she found MTM on-line & decided to write. Laura appeared on our doorstep a few months later! Since then, Laura has captured a great vision for helping MTM to develop a supplimental English speaking program for our high school students that will grow into a school-wide program.

Please take time to visit her website to read about her trip & see her pics. She has alot to say & had some really great pics, even one of her & I! I'll let you see for yourself, go to:

www.lauragesin.net/haiti2008

While you are there you can go to her archives to see about her 2007 trip.

Please pray for Laura & MTM as we venture thru this program!

THANK YOU FOR GIVING!

It recently came to our attention that people really do read our blog!

How blessed we were to find that some have chosen to send additional finances to Mountain Top Ministries for our feeding programs. After reading our update about the demonstrations that were taking place here in Haiti recently, these folks were compelled to take action.

Thank you!

Your additional finances will help to offset costs of the feeding programs that we are responsible for at both of our schools & at our children's home.

Currently, people are continuing with their daily lives, being watchful that another uprising could happen at any time. Still, nothing else has changed with the situation that initially set off demonstrations two weeks ago. We wait to see what actions the government will take & then we wait to see how the public will respond.

While we wait we keep our pantry stocked with staples & thru this experience we've also learned to keep an additional reserve of food at each of the schools & at the children's home.

With your continued giving we are able to provide for our students & staff.

They are thankful each day.

Because of your partnership, MTM is able to give them one less thing to worry about in their day.

If you are sponsoring a student or giving to our feeding programs, thank you, & please, continue. If you are not, but would like to give, you may do so online at our website:

www.mtm-haiti.org

or you may send a check or money order made payable to MTM at:

Mountain Top Ministries

c/o Calvary Chapel of Danville

2165 E. Main St.

Danville, IN 46122

*please designate your giving to "food programs"

Again, on behalf of the many Haitian people that you are touching with your prayers & giving,

THANK YOU!
