Our high school seniors, you may recall, missed two of their national exams due to some rioting at the school where the exams were being administered. I'm so grateful for all of you who were praying for these students. This week they were allowed to retake those two exams.

Her mom signed her up for third grade during our first visit to Grand-Goave back in March, 2000. After high school

Today I've been thinking a lot about eternity, as I've seen a family member, an employee, and a supporter pass on into eternity this week. 1Corinthians 15:26 reads, "The last enemy to be eliminated is death." God considers death to be His enemy. It's no wonder we don't like it. And yet, the reality for those in Christ is that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."
