Heading Back to Haiti!
The second weekend in November Amy and i will be heading back to Haiti. Amy will be meting with pastor Wiljean's wife to discuss the possibility of doing some womens ministry training with the ladies from the church. Amy has had a passion for training and discipling women and God has opened up some significant doors for her here in the States and is now seeking to take this training to some of our partnerships overseas. It is an exciting opportunity that will open up a new genre of ministry for 212 degrees. i will be building a low initiatives course for the school of youth ministry, working with the health clinic there in Bois De Lance, and heading into the mountains making some relational contacts for our future Peak teams. Please keep us in your prayers as we travel, for safety and for all the logistics to go smoothly. We are very excited about the future of this partnership and the real diversity of ministry that God has provided for us. The potential for Kingdom impact is huge and we are so very thankful to Open Door Haiti USA and Pastor Wiljean of Open Door Church for allowing us to come along side and be a part of the great things God is doing there and to have the chance to go into these un-reached mountain villages with the message of the love of Christ. We will keep you posted on all that is going on, and thanks in advance for your prayers!!

Pastors Training in Nepal
Many of you know about the pastors training that we did last year in the rural areas of the far west Nepal. Well two of our trainers are back in Nepal doing a follow up to last years training, and the ministry has been fantastic. Tom and Dee Johnson are from Spokane, WA and are in Nepal right now finishing up a two week stretch. i just received an e-mail from Tom today that i wanted to pass along to everyone.

Greetings from KGH in KTM. We are here after a week in Dhangadhi. Raj Kumar, Samjhana, Dee and I went over and had a three day conference with Pastor Pushba Raj, et al. All went as planned and our time with everyone was very sweet. A primary difference this time is Pushba Raj had the conference at his church. Yes, that little lean-to room we visited. he tore off the wall on one end and put up a huge tent; added some lovely potties outside, dug a few holes to cook on and we were ready for a few hundred people for three days. it was a great time.
then back to ktm and a day at Raj Kumar's bible school. we sat in a class of fourteen students and listened to the testimonies of about ten of them. words fail in trying to describe how moving that was.
today we are finalizing prep for the conference here. tomorrow we begin the three days at rk's church. Then a couple days on the road visiting pastors and home.
we are taking rita etal to dinner tonight. they send their greetings.
wish you were here!
T & D
Thanks for your continued prayer for this and all the ministry here at 212 degrees.
