Merry CHRISTmas and a Blessed New Year!!
 

Just wanted to take a minute to wish you all the best this special time of year.  What other thing has happened in history where the whole world takes a break to celebrate!!  Christ is the King and He is coming back again.  We pray that you are ready for His return and are as anxious to see it as we are!

This has been a good year for us and we can't express enough how much we appreciate your prayers and support.  God has blessed us in many ways.  Our son Nick went to Peru for Bible College and he has returned for winter break a changed young man who is becoming more and more grounded in the Word.  He is going to Bible College in California next semester so hopefully my friends out there will help give him hard time for me!

Our daughter is dual enrolled as a senior in High School and a freshman in college.  She is all set to go to UCF this coming fall and in her mind I think she's already there!

We wish we could spend Christmas with each and every one of you, but know you are in our thoughts and prayers!

Merry CHRISTmas and continue to keep Jesus the reason for the season as well as the reason for all else you do in the coming year!

                                                                               
                                          





Thanks for all your prayers and support.

Proclaiming the Lord in all we do,
In season and out of season.

Lord Bless,
Curt & Mary Jo Hencye, Nick & Melissa too!!

Pray For Haiti

Pray For Haiti
 

I've received a couple of emails from friends in Haiti.  One talks about the major unrest and rioting in Port-au-Prince (PAP) and the other involves getting a shipment through customs.  As Seige states, this is a huge spiritual battle, we need to pray!

Here are the letters:

From CC PAP Pastor Seige:

Hi Friends everywhere,

As most of you know already 2010 just added one more trouble for the country
before leaving: Elections Turmoil. It started with a quake, then a storm,
then a cholera outbreak, and now the crowd is destroying what is left
standing.

If you are watching the news, I hope you are convinced by now that what is
going on in Haiti is not "NORMAL", the problem is absolutely SPIRITUAL.

As we speak, building are being burned, one bridge was almost brought down
last night in Petion-Ville but the Police intervened to prevent it. Life
just stopped in Haiti: no cars on the streets right now just the crowd
taking control and burning tires and else.

John 10:10The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to
destroy. I have come so that they might have life, and that they might have
it more abundantly.

Please continue to remember us in prayers. I know it is easy to just forget
about Haiti for it looks like a lost cause but don't. Prayers are what we
mostly need at this time.

God bless you,
Seige Poteau
http://www.calvaryhaiti.org
http://ccpap.blogspot.com

 The other email I received was from Tim Wylie of Parakletos International a disaster relief ministry from CC Costa Mesa.  They have been working in Jacmel since the quake and have shipped a bunch of building supplies, vehicles, etc to Haiti.  The customs port was closed and the mayor agreed to get it open and get their things through.  They need a high tide to unload the ship and expect one at 10 PM tonite.  Cholera is also causing issues in Jacmel and some have died.  Pray that all would go well in getting their supplies off of the ship and to Jacmel.  One of the projects is a water purification system. 

Thanks for all your prayers and support.

Proclaiming the Lord in all we do,
In season and out of season.

Lord Bless,

Back From NYC Thanksgiving Outreach

Email not displaying correctly? Please click View it in your browser. 

Back From NYC Thanksgiving Outreach

We’ve made it back safe and sound from NYC and I’ve finally had the time to sit down and get my final thoughts on paper and some of the pictures and videos posted.  You can find all the information on our website, just follow the link, http://www.reliefministriesccsarasota.com/NYC_10_Thanksgiving.html.  
 
Its Christmas time again and don’t forget to say Merry Christmas to everyone you see!  Remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season!
 
While we were very fortunate that none of the major storms came our way this year, there were still a lot of disasters in different parts of the country and the world.  Remember to keep those affected by them in your prayers.
 
There is still a lot of stuff going on in Haiti.  Patrick once again preached an awesome message in church this week.  We’ll be seeing what we can do to continue to support their work in Haiti, especially with the rebuilding of some homes after the first of the year.  Give us a shout if you are interested in helping out in any way.
 
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Christ filled New Year.

Thanks for all your prayers and support.

Proclaiming the Lord in all we do,
In season and out of season.

Hurricane Tomas Slams Haiti

Email not displaying correctly? Please click View it in your browser. 

Hurricane Tomas Slams Haiti

As we wake up this morning, Tomas has again returned to hurricane strength and is pounding into Haiti with some of the storm bands going over the DR and even towards Puerto Rico as it heads towards Cuba.  It is expected to remain a hurricane as it slowly moves north, remaining over Haiti for most of the day.

Authorities and relief agencies worked hard to warn the people, but most of them had no place to retreat to.  Heavy winds and rain will be producing mudslides and flooding in many areas.

Please, please, please keep the people in your prayers today and onwards.  Pray for all the relief workers who are already pushed to the limits and even the fresh new faces.  Pray that in all of this that everyone would turn to Jesus who alone can help them and give them peace as well as eternal life with Him!

We will keep you updated as neccessary.

Thanks for all your prayers and support.

In season and out of season.

Tomas Heads To Haiti

All but one of the computer models shows Tomas running right through Haiti before the end of the week.  Currently it has been downgraded to a tropical depression but forecasters are predicting it will strengthen to a level 1 hurricane Friday just before it makes landfall.

There are thousands of people living in the streets, tents, broken homes, etc still from January's earthquake.  Please pray that if it is God's will the storm would veer off shore and do minimal damage in Haiti or wherever it hits.  Pray that people would continue to be drawn to the Lord through the storms in their lives, whether it is tropical or not.

We will do our best to keep in contact with our missionaries there.  Patrick and Barb are currently in Canada, ministering there.  We will keep you informed as we receive any information.  Remember also that we are working on building some homes in Haiti after the first of the year.  Please help us in providing the necessary finances and personnel to accomplish this task.

There has also been a huge outbreak of cholera in Haiti.  Many have already died and many more are very sick.  Pray that the medical help that is needed will arrive and that those going to help will be protected.  If you have an interest in helping out medically with the cholera outbreak, please let us know and we will get you in contact with groups that are helping.

As many of you remember, after the earthquake, we immediately hooked up with CC Port-Au-Prince and helped them minister to their church body, orphanage and their community.  Eric from one of their supporting churches returned from Haiti and gave us a newsletter of the current status of the church and orphanage.  You can find a link to the newsletter on our website for the next week or so.
 

Thanks for all your prayers and support.

In season and out of season.

NYC Bowery Outreach-1

Email not displaying correctly? Please click View it in your browser. 

Less than a month away from

NYC Thanksgiving Outreach!


Just one more month and our team will be in NYC preparing about 10,000 home cooked meals!  The Lord has put a great team together.  We began meeting back in July and since have been preparing and serving fellowship dinners at our church.
 
There are a couple of things that you can do to help us out!

  1. PRAY-we need your prayers
  2. Pies-we have worked out a program with Troyer’s Dutch Heritage Restaurant in Sarasota.  We are selling pie certificates for $10, from which we receive a portion.  You take the certificate and trade it for most of their world famous homemade pies!  You have until the end of May, 2011 to redeem your certificates, so buy them now and stock up for Thanksgiving, Christmas and every other week from now until then!  Everyone loves pie!  Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing certificates.
  3. Fellowship Dinners-We have one more month of fellowship dinners.  Our team prepares a home cooked meal including drinks and dessert.  They will be held from 5-6 PM on November 3rdand 17th.  Dinners are at Calvary Chapel Sarasota, 3800 27thParkway, Sarasota, 34235.  Cost of the dinner is $5.  The food and supplies for the dinner have been graciously provided for.  This means that 100% of the proceeds will go directly to funding the NYC Thanksgiving Outreach!
  4. Donate-If you just wish to donate to the fund, you can do so, tax free.  Just mail a check to us at Calvary Chapel Sarasota, 3800 27thParkway, Sarasota, FL 34235.  Please note on the check that you are giving to the NYC outreach and put a note in the envelope stating the same.
  5. PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!  
Thanks for all your prayers and support.

In season and out of season.

Haiti Relief Homes

Email not displaying correctly? Please click View it in your browser. 

Relief Homes For Haiti
 

I received an email/letter from Patrick and Barb Lataillade, our missionaries in Haiti with Living Word Ministries To Haitians, concerning home rebuilding in Haiti.  I am copying their letter below.

We continue to keep our eyes on the tropics.  The Lord has certainly blessed us so far this year, but it isn't over yet so continue to pray!  Currently there is a large storm, but a low level of anticipation of anything major becoming of it in the next 48 hours.  It is sitting near the islands of DR/Haiti, so keep that in your prayers.

We are also working on our NYC Bowery Mission Thanksgiving Feeding trip where we will prepare about 10,000 meals in 5 days!

Now here's the letter:

 

Relief Homes for Haiti 

 

After the earthquake in January 2010, the Haitian homeless population has multiplied. Currently one million people- approximately one-sixth of Haiti’s population is homeless, living in refugee camps across Port-au-Prince and beyond.

Although most of these camps lie in the city and it’s outskirts, there are other towns that have been severely damaged as well, in the earthquake, mudslides and hurricanes, leaving people outside Port-au-Prince in desperation as well.

Living Word Ministries has focused primarily on caring for the soul first and aiding in social projects, like education and medical help secondly. But with the rise in the homeless and poor families facing even deeper struggles, LWM has raised social priorities.

A home is someplace safe, a small piece of the world that bring families together. LWM has a new vision of providing homes to Haitian families cost free, using International Relief Homes from Gulf Coast Supply & Mfg. Inc.

GulfCoast Supply has worked in Guatemala and more recently in Haiti. Using steel panels, modular style two-room homes can be shipped in two 1500 pound crates and can be bolted to cement slabs within hours. The homes come complete with insulation, able to withstand a wide range of natural disasters and the crates they are shipped in can be used to build tables, shelves and/or bunk beds. The light weight packaging and easy assemble make International Relief Homes perfect for LWM’s housing project.

Not only is International  Relief Homes the perfect package for Haiti, but it’s also the most cost effective, approximately $3,000 US per home, thousands less then other less efficient housing options. LWM’s primary goal is to build the first 12 homes for selected families. After those homes are completed and people trained to put up the houses efficiently, they will move on to build hundreds- with a goal of 1,000 Relief homes, each capable of providing a family of six a safe, clean environment for a suffering family.
LWM is looking for compassionate partners who are willing and able to provide monetary assistance and manpower to aid in the vision of seeing 6,000 of Haiti’s homeless finally sheltered.

LWM cannot reach everyone at once, but through prayer and the help of others who see the needs clearly, we believe we can make a small difference in the lives of families, beginning in south western village areas and broadening out over time.

Storm Watch & Things

Email not displaying correctly? Please click View it in your browser. 

Storm Watch & Things

We continue to watch the tropics and monitor all activity and pray that the storms continue to push north and east and just die out in the ocean.  There has been a lot of rain, wind and tropical weather in many areas, please pray for the people affected by the storms that have already hit. 
 
Currently we are watching Hurricane Earl and Tropical Storm Fiona along with another storm that has the potential for tropical development and they seem to keep coming off of the coast on a regular basis these days.
 
We have contacted some friends along the east coast to let them know we are ready to roll should the need arise.  If you are in an area that is affected by a storm, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll do all we can to help out as led by the Lord.
 
If a storm does come and you are interested in helping out in the efforts, please contact us as well.
 
We are also in the midst of preparing for the NYC/Bowery Mission Thanksgiving Outreach.  We will once again help prepare over 5,000 Thanksgiving Meals to help feed the less fortunate in NYC during Thanksgiving week.  Our team has been formed, plans have been made, and we are in the midst of raising funds for the trip.  If you are interested in helping with the financial needs of the trip, please contact us via the info below.
 
One final note, our 19, soon to be 20, year old son, Nick, has decided to enter Bible College and is in Lima, Peru at CCBC Lima!  He left last Thursday and started classes this Monday.  Please keep him in your prayers and that he would empty himself of himself and look to the Lord to fill him up and lead and guide him for the rest of his days on this earth!

Thanks for all your prayers and support.

Haiti Home Construction Project-1

Email not displaying correctly? Please click View it in your browser. 

Haiti Home Construction Project-1
 

Mary Jo and I are currently at The Bowery in NYC helping cook and work on the kitchen as it is being outfitted with a lot of new equipment that was graciously donated!  We are also working on this year's Thanksgiving Outreach where The Bowery will prepare and serve around 5,000 meals!  Please keep all of this in your prayers!

Now on to Haiti!  First of all we'd like to thank all of you for your continued prayer as the details have been worked through for the Haiti Home Construction project.  We appreciate your patience as through much prayer and divine appointments, a plan has been conceived and things are ready to move forward.

Below is a copy of the email that Barb Lataillade sent out to us today, please read it carefully:

Update on construction project for Haiti:

At present there are 12 houses (2 room village houses) that need to be built. We are looking for willing helping hands to come bless the ones whose homes were damaged or destroyed. The cost per house is $5,000.  All materials will be purchased in Haiti. The houses will be cement blocks and tin roof.

We would appreciate it if your team could raise the funds for a house.

If your church is interested to help, but cannot send a team, let us know. There are those who would like to come, but cannot afford it.
We regret this is short notice, but Patrick is in Haiti now, and has just received the "blue-print" and the cost of materials.

Requirements:
1)Teams of 4-6
2) Each team must have some experienced masons.  (if you don't have any, let us know, God will provide the right people!)
3) $5000 for a house (the money is needed a couple weeks before your arrival, so the materials are on site and ready for you
4) We would love this project to start in September.
5) The other expense for the team is: plane tickets, $80 per person ($40 per night) for a guest house, (first night in Port au Prince and last night before departure), and $200 for meals for a team of 6 per week.
6) Bring your own snacks, toiletries, and towel.

Waiting to hear from you
God bless you
Patrick and Barb Lataillade

Teams will stay in one of the safe, Calvary Chapel church compounds where they will be well taken care of!  If you have any interest in helping with the cost of this project, please contact us at Relief Ministries.  If you have teams or people who would like to travel to Haiti, do the same.  Maybe you can't get all or any of the money, or all or any of the people, but if we all work together, we can form both prayer and financially supported teams that can make a difference in Haiti.  Remember, Patrick and Barb are long time Haitian missionaries and have planted 5 churches in the areas where these homes will be built and we have a long standing relationship with them.  This project will help open doors for God to work in lives with plenty of opportunity for the local Christian body to follow up with salvation and discipleship!

Thanks for all your prayers and support.

Proclaiming the Lord in all we do,
In season and out of season.

Hurricane Season is Here-Training?

Email not displaying correctly? Please click View it in your browser. 
Hurricane Season Is Here-Training Anyone?

There has been a lot going on since my last e-newsletter. We continue to work on the “Homes for Haiti” project with Patrick & Barb Latiallade. Patrick and Agape are currently back in Haiti as I write this letter. Continue to keep them, the ministry and the country of Haiti and all the relief/recovery efforts in your prayers and that God would get all the glory!

We are less than two weeks away from our disaster relief training. If you are going to be attending this event, we need to get the final count for food by the end of the week. Please respond today! Over 14 relief ministries/agencies will be participating in the training. What are you waiting for!!
 
Yesterday began what “experts” are claiming could be the worst tropical storm/hurricane season in history. We know that God is in charge and won’t let anything happen to us that He doesn’t know we can stand up under, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be prepared. One of the ways to get more prepared would be to attend our upcoming training session. You can also see our websites “Are You Prepared” section for more info at http://reliefministriesccsarasota.com/preparedness.html.  The Pacific has already had its first named storm, Agatha, which has left close to 200 people dead and one of the worst rainstorms in over a half a decade! GET PREPARED!!
 
Continue to pray for those affected by the tornadoes and flooding from this spring as well as the earthquake and volcano eruptions of earlier this year. There is a lot going on and as the Bible tells us, it will only continue to get worse. Don’t grow weary in doing good, heaven is closer than we think and our rewards are waiting for us there! Press on, continue to serve and honor God in all you say & do!.
 
Thanks for all your prayers and support.

Proclaiming the Lord in all we do,
In season and out of season.

Lord Bless,
Curt & Mary Jo Hencye
