Bonjou,
Nou travay anpil denmen semen; mem toujou! (We worked a lot last week; same as always!)
Well, as per usual we had a busy week. And, as per usual, we would not be happier doing anything other than being busy for our Lord! This week we finished our new brochures and envelopes to give to churches and individuals as we visit. We also prepared for our St. Louis Trip. We left for St. Louis Friday morning. Thursday we had a teacher’s workshop, to learn more tips on homeschooling and Justin and Kevin enjoyed a men’s study. Friday morning I met with my mom and she helped me to prepare for our homeschooling endeavors this year and then we were off to St. Louis. Saturday we went to the St. Louis Zoo as a family. This morning we went visited grandma’s congregation and had the opportunity to encourage and be encouraged by her pastor. On Monday and Tuesday we will be basically ‘cold calling’ pastors. We will visit churches and try to talk to as many pastors as possible for future opportunities to share our presentation with their church, as well as leaving them with information on the ministry.
Thank you all for your prayers and keep them up! Also, let us know what we can pray for in each of your lives!
Bondye beni ou (God bless you),
The White Family,

Bonjou!
Hello friends! Once again it was a busy week in the White family. Most of this week was kid week. We had several appointments to assure Annika's health...that's right, we found out we are having a little baby girl! Annika Tyla Marie White! All is well and she is healthy. I also found out that I am now at 20 weeks :) My how fast those first several weeks seemed to go! Now we get to wait a while for our next appointment and continue to experience her little kicks and punches!
This week was also Kevin's birthday. He is now 8 years old! we had a small party for him on Monday (yesterday) and let him play with his friends. He had an amazing cake from Terry, a sister in Christ. He also enjoyed spending time with everyone and getting boy gifts! So thankful for the love everyone showed to him!
Justin and I are finishing touches and ordering our new brochures this week. We are also calling several pastors to try to visit churches. This next week we will also be headin to St.Louis. We will visit family and churches as well as get to see the Science Center on one of Kevin's field trips! (We may even try for the Zoo)
This week is also the beggining of organizing and preparing for school! This is very exciting for me and also a lot to take in. My prayer and hope is that Kevin and I will work together for schooling and he will enjoy all we do...I pray that we find a way of teaching and learning that works for us and that we cover all the Lord has in store for him.
For now, God bless and we love you all and are always so thankful for each of you in our lives.

Calvary Baptist Church Revival
Hello family and friends!
Your continued prayers, love and support encourage us daily and have been a blessing! We once again had a busy week! It is incredible the difference in pase between the country of Haiti and the U.S.
We spent last week in Huntsville, TX at Calvary Baptist Church and were blessed by evening services each day of the week! The services were based on which Jesus we serve, the Jesus of the Bible or a Jesus we created. It was a huge blessing and another great experience for each of us!
While in Huntsville we were to meet with 3 other pastors to talk about giving our presentation at their churches. The first one forgot about our appointment and was kind enough to still meet with us, however, when he came to meet with us he was delayed due to his car over heating. The next meeting we had was a blessing because it was scheduled at the last minute. Unfortunately I also woke up that morning extremely sick and was sick the entire day. Justin went to visit the pastor on his own, only to get lost and never make it. However, once we spoke to both pastors they agreed to have us visit their churches to share our presentation this fall! What a blessing that through road blocks the Lord still allowed us to visit the churches! The third church we were actually able to visit and give our presentation and we were incredibly blessed by the response of the church members. They were a very loving church, as Calvary had been all week as well, and they welcomed us with open hearts to the mission field! Over all the trip was a huge blessing as usual and an opportunity for our awesome God to recieve glory!
Other than that we just arrived back to Arkansas today and this last week was a baby experience. During our trip we got to feel Stitch kick and in just a few more appointments we should be able to get an ultra sound and find out the baby's gender. Please pray that we will be able to recieve medicaid assistance. We only recieve a small portion of the commitments made for living each month, the rest goes to growing the ministry!!! So please join us in praying for this medical assistance! We love you all and will post you with all of the happenings of this week at the end of the week.
Also, all who are interested: we are having a birthday party for Kevin's 8th birthday on Monday at 5pm (august 16th) Please call if you want to come or email and I will get you directions!
God Bless

Sorry, we are late
Hello family and friends! Sorry that i am once again late in posting our blog this week. We left on Sunday immediately after church for Huntsville, TX and have been doing revival services each night here since. There is no good excuse as we will hopefully always be busy for the Lord, but we do pray you will be patient with us and know we haven't forgotten to keep you all up to date of the ministry going ons!
Once again we thank you all for your love, support and prayers! We have been busy busy busy since we have been back. Justin and I have been striking up small Creole conversations with each other as well as occasionally with our Haitian sister. Kevin will spout out bits of it as he did in Haiti.
Justin spent a lot of time the first week back in Arkansas helping the Eureka Springs church crew get some physical work done to the church building and move the bella vista church. He also got to help his brother get a little work done so that his brother could be closer to his ministry in Rogers.
Kevin took this week to catch up with papas and nonny and cousins. He also re aquainted himself with his toys at his nonny's house!
Stitch and I (and when Justin was available, him too)updated some things on our car to prepare it for traveling again, sat down and prepared for the months to come and worked out housing for our family (thank you to so many who have opened their homes for us) and we also had our first clinic appointment (where i was able to hear stitch's heartbeat). We also found out that I am about 18 weeks along and am probably due around January 3rd. We also got to feel the first kicks this week!
Right now we are in Texas. We are working with the mission team down here in various areas during the day and attending revival services each night. We are also meeting with 3 other pastors of other churches this week about the ministry in Haiti.
We love you all and I will keep you all posted as we have a busy month!!! Staying focused on Jesus and winning lost souls to the kingdom!
Bondye Beni Ou!
