Hello Everyone!
Last Tuesday we sent off the information to get Annika's passport after finally recieving her social security card and 2 birth certificates (not sure how we ended up with two, but praise the Lord that they arrived!). We also went ahead and sent out for Justin's passport update! His passport expires in September and we will only be home for two months this summer and decided to go ahead and get his done now as well.
Annika recieved her two month shots as well Tuesday morning and has had a fever off and on each day since. God is big and in control and we would like to ask for her to be lifted up in prayer that she might have a quick recovery!
Kevin is doing well in school and has been doing much better at following written directions carefully - he struggles with verbal direction (his sin nature chooses disobedience each time) So we praise the Lord that he has come quite far with following written directions for now and hope to move to one on one projects eventually!
Justin has preached 3 times in the last week. He had the privilege of preaching in Eureka Springs on the church of Acts as well as preaching the same sermon in Cassville, MO and finally preaching at the Piney Point Revival on the glory of God.
I have been busy chasing kids around, teaching, preparing to send items ahead of time with a March mission team to Haiti and trying to finally work my way out of maternity pants and back into some of my pre pregnancy jeans (some sucess on the larger pairs ...hahaha).
God is still on His thrown and does as He please and we praise Him each day for another day to serve Him! We love you all! Bondye Beni Nou!

Great Reports this week! I finally feel like we are on our way to getting back into Haiti!
We recieved Annika's birth certificate and we have her social security number so that we can get her passport. The soonest they could get us in for her passport was next Tuesday. Praise the Lord! Also we will ony be back for July and August this summer since it has taken so long to return to Haiti; therefore we are going to get Justin's passport renewed because it will expire in September.
If anyone would like us to update their church family or knows someone that would like to view our presentation and learn more about the Lord's work in Haiti please let us know a.s.a.p and we can get it scheduled for when we return!
God Bless~ Bonye Beni Nou

Hello!
well along with several of you all, we were snowed in for the most part of last week! It is amazing how much you can get done though and then still realize there is a lot more to do! I praise the Lord that i was able to get a lot of the ministry paper work organized and more. I have not sent out payment reminders this month yet because i am in the process of getting them more organized.
We have a new contact for SON Ministries. Vanessa Ketring will be taking calls and scheduling presentation/update visits for us while we are overseas. Her and her husband will also be available to give presentations about our work in Haiti while we are there.
A prayer request at the moment is to recieve Annika's social security card and birth certificate. I will be calling on those to check their status as soon as i am finished typing this blog update. Please be in prayer that we will recieve those a.s.a.p and be able to get her passport quickly.
There is a team leaving for Haiti in March for a week long youth revival in the Church lead by Pastor Kennan Molme (Haitian). As always, our focus needs to be in prayer that souls will be won to the kingdom during this trip! Please continue to pray for souls that have been and are being won daily in Haiti; remember that if a child comes home from a voodoo family and proclaim Christ Jesus they will be kicked out of their home with nowhere to go. Praise the Lord though who has a perfect plan!!
Justin and i were able to get away on a small date a few hours away this week. We are very blessed to have this time. When we are in Haiti it isn't possible for us to take this kind of time together. We don't mind that we don't get this time in Haiti because there is no great joy than being in God's will together, but we do enjoy this time when we can get it!
God bless you all and we will update everyone again soon.

WOW! it has been a while! Adjusting to a new baby has been interesting, but i think i am finally getting into a good rythm.
This will be updated weekly, but since it has been a few weeks i will try to catch everyone up on the happenings those weeks.
We had a couple of lunches this month with supporters (great fellowship). We have also run into many people who have been praying for us and it has been incredibly encouraging!
Most of this month has been spent in prayer about the church that will be started in Carrenage, Haiti. Our prayer is for hearts to be opened and of course, above all, that souls would be saved!
Justin has been helping out with church projects for all of the Piney Point Churches. I have been trying to get everything organized and into a new rythm with the changes we have had! Kevin has been homeschooling and playing like an 8 year old boy!Finally, Annika has been eating, sleeping and filling diapers! We did run into a couple spells of sickness, but God is in control!
God Bless you all! Our departure date is April 1st! We are looking forward to getting back and praying that obtaining visas will not be difficult!

Bonjou! Zonmi Nou! (hello our friends)
This week has mostly been our normal Church events through Piney Point as well as Justin getting a little work on the side!
Huge Blessing/Praise/Provision: We applied for a diaper grant to get a few extra pre-folds for Annika before we leave for Haiti and we were accepted and now will have plenty of cloth diapers and inserts!!
Justin is in the process of raising $1000 to get to go to Haiti for a week in March for a youth conference and to talk to Pastor Kenan about where our hearts are, which is to start churches. *prayer request* our firt church will be in Carniage, which is a voodoo village*
Kevin is continuing in his second semester in homeschooling and is getting everything done so well and even quicker now that he realizes the advantages of homeschooling and having basically his whole afternoon off to play! :) *prayer request* That he would do well in April when we have to leave everyone again and that schooling would continue to go well!
Annika is ...well, eating and sleeping mostly! She also has a funky little quirk - she likes to cross her eyes when she is dazed into space. We have applied to find a doctor for her and are just waiting for results *prayer request* continued health!
Myself, Bobbi Ann has been being mom for my kids and side kick for my husband! Keeping up with updates, emails and legal information! Our prayer is to get Annika's birth certificate and social security card by the begining of February and then we will immediatly apply for her passport! *prayer request* remain focused and to biblically take care of her husband and kids as well as others we can reach here in the states!
We love you all and are thankful for each of you! We are praying as we know some have been ill lately, but are thankful that God is in control!

Well I am off track on the day i wanted to post (Mondays), but i am seven days from the last post :).
We pray all is well with each of you. This week we met with our authority/the president of Son Ministries and are now in heavy prayer about where the Lord is leading us and what we will be doing when we return as a permanent ministry. We know Biblically where and what the Lord calls us to do and now our prayer is just that the hearts of all involved will be molded and sensative to this call!
Justin will be leaving for a week in March to help with a youth conference in Mole St. Nicolas, Haiti and speaking to pastor Kenan about where our hearts our and what we will be doing when we return. We will be posting this soon :). On this trip Justin will preach every night for 20 minutes for a week, he is thrilled (there is a ton of joy in doing what the Lord has called you to do)!
Annika is awaiting her medicaid card so that we can schedule her another dr. appointment, but the last appointment went wonderfully and she is healthy, healthy, healthy!
Kevin is enjoying a week off from school and visiting with all family as possible in the area! He is an excellent big brother and wants to help even with the smallest details, like buttoning the onsies :)
Of course mom's big role right now is to get back on track with updating this blog as well as getting all of our information together (all of our 'ducks in a row' if you will) so that we can get back to Haiti as soon as possible! Right now it looks as though this may be the 1st of April. A big prayer request would be to get our visas so that we can remain in Hait for more than a 90 day period! Over the phone they are telling us that we do this in Port au Prince, but we are not sure that post earthquake this is still true. We will try to get this more in line as soon as we arrive on this next trip!
All things are in His hands and we find joy in following His will in our lives! God Bless you all and we will talk again next week!

Hello All!
What a month so far and with a week and a half yet to go :). We had a wonderful visit with Charity Baptist Church and were blessed to pray with and for several brothers and sisters in Christ!
The Piney Point Christmas play went wonderfully and pierced both mine and Justin's heart in reminding us how life is in most American homes still during the holiday and though it is 'about Jesus' it usually is not about Jesus! That is a good swift kick to remind us to pray hard and witness harder!
And the big news of the week....SHE IS HERE! Annika Tyla Marie White was born at 6:03am on Tuesday December 21st 2010. All 6lbs, 1oz and 19 inches of her is healthy and strong. She was born with the cord wrapped around her neck twice and had to be held in the NICU room for 6 hours before we could see her and we couldn't hold her for 8hours after she was born...that was tough on Justin and I and poor Kevin had to wait over a whole day to see his baby sister (poor little man). However, PRAISE the LORD, she is here in our arms and the plan is to make it home tomorrow with a new addition to our family! We got to praise the Lord through the whole event and had His peace which surpasses all understanding!
We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and want to praise His wonderful Name that not only was THE Savior born to us and that is what we are celebrating, but more so that we have recieved His gift and are blessed to live for HIM!
God Bless you all and enjoy your Christmas; celebrating the reason each of us support this ministry to spread the gospel!
We love you all!
Justin, Bobbi Ann, Kevin and Annika :)
