Well tomorrow is an epic day for Sonlight Ministries, and especially Sonlight Bible College – we have our first Graduation.  This means that Sonlight Bible College has now been around for five years.  This is a pretty amazing thing to consider for the students who were here when it started and for the founding Professors, Lenny Lowe and Warren French.  More than that, though, it is a celebration for the whole Sonlight family, because it shows that God is at work in many different ways, with many different people, with many different ages.  The future of Haiti is certainly the youth, and so that is why our Academy is so important in all it does, but the “now” of Haiti are the adults, who are in positions to make change possible here and now; and many such men are graduating tomorrow …

It’s hard to judge and determine the level of impact than a person makes on other people.  This has been especialy true for us being missionaries here in Haiti.  Culture and all sorts of other factors come into play, which make it difficult to assess just what we have been able to do here, or at least from a relational perspective.  And finding the balance between meeting one’s physical needs as well as spiritual needs is also quite difficult and, at times, frustrating.  I mean sure we meet the spiritual needs of our students through a biblcal education (or at least we try with all of our hearts), but we don’t always have the chance to meet their physical needs …

Ever since Christmas the guys have been tryng to plan a trip over to    the Isle of Tortue to have some sort of guys get away.  The ideal spot for this get away is an extremely gorgeous and untouched beach on the South west tip of the Island.  I mean this beach is gorgeous (at least that’s what I heard); like top five in the Caribbean type of beach, and it’s even nicer since nothing is around it – I mean nothing.
