Dear ministry partners, Thank you for sending us to partner with GBEUH, thank you for supporting us through finance and prayer, thank you for receiving us back home. Our prayer is that you too will seek to have relationships with people who have different traditions, different cultural backgrounds or different ethnicities than yours, so that your understanding of God will be challenged and expanded, like Peter’s and Cornelius’ in Acts 10. Peace and grace, IV Haïti Global Partnership team 2016
