/CHRISTIANVILLE - January, 1986

Dear Friends,

Our Christmas-month mail arrived at mid-January and it was almost likehaving Christmas all over again. We hadn't had time to take our tree

down so we enjoyed the reading of mail in festive spirits. Missionaries learn patience on the field...things just don't always happen asyou like. One thing for sure, you were in our hearts continuallythroughout the season and your generous and loving gifts were truly ablessing.

Progress is exciting again as we begin the new year. The dental clinicis getting a roof now, and most wonderful of all, the new school build

ing foundations have been going down. The time is just right...it isGod's time and we believe with all of our hearts that it will^be a real

ity this very year. How glad our children are!

God has blessed with some lovely help over the past two months and weare grateful for these short term missionaries. Now we look for

ward to Stuart Kelly and his wife to join our farm program for a year.Isn't the Lord good!

As you no doubt have heard, Haiti is having some political problems and

they have kept the schools closed for a little while. Our big childrenhave been in our home daily working on crafts and having a wonderfultime. Some have made peanut butter, some are polishing shells, some aremaking native straw crafts and many of the girls are sewing and embroidering items for sale. They are doing beautiful work and our littlecraft shop is bringing in funds for purchasing more materials. We havechosen our trade name.. .HAITICHAFT. Do you like it? Two of the girlswork in the kitchen and cook egg sandwiches each day for all the working

kids. The 4H garden crew really get hungry. Their garden is beautifuland food is rolling into the kitchen...small amounts, yes, but graduallyincreasing. It has great promise. Fortunately wa have been able to feedall of our children even though school is closed.

Thank you once again for your loving support. Please remember us in yourprayers during these critical political days here. We trust the Lord for

His protection and care. May He bless you, too.

In Christian love,

Jim ^d Carol Herget

THE EVANGEL WITH LOVE FROM JIM AND CAROL HERGET

ts I

1^:

IN THE BEGINING...GOD!

This was the original approach to the barren lands of what now is Christianville.For several years we drove through this rough and rocky river to accomplish ourdreams of helping our needy neighbors. Your prayers, support and love have beenour constant companions as we have labored and have found God's blessing onthat labor. The result is Christianville - what many people term as God's miracle.We share with you a recent testimony written for the Rotory Club of Port-au-Prince by one of its members:

CHRISTIANVILLE TODAYit wasn't a follow-up visit, a routine check up or anything of the kind. It so happened that Mrs. Herget called me for some business reason and I went to her placeand opened my eyes when I remembered I had written about Christianville fouryears ago.

Just as was to be expected from good and dedicated managers like Jim and CarolHerget, most of the projects started 4 years ago were successfully completed.The fish pono is a success, the cattle are thriving; I did not have time to see thechickens and pigs.Beside a school with an enrollment of 580 children from 5 to 18, there is a dentalclinic, a medical building, a main administration and residential building, recreation field, fish pond, plants, trees, flowers, lawns and greenery all around makingit an island of peace and tranquillity about 15 miles from the noise and turmoil ofPort-au-Prince.

1have never come face to face with a dream, but I'll go along with the popular saying, "It looks like a dream come true."And if this were the case, it would be not only sheer day-dreaming but a dreamsprinkled with a solid dose of hard work, solid principles and a never-ending faithin God.

Frankly to sum up my feelings, I say it renewed my faith in the possibilities ofhumans in accomplishing good and worthy work when they put their will, theirminds and their hearts into it. This is the feeling I got at Christianville. I am sureanyone will feel the same just like taking a hot shower after spending a day inthe visible and invisible dirtiness of the city.

CHILDREN THE HEART-THROB OF CHRISTIANVILLE

Kids are the answer.

The answer to many questions about Christianville. How did it happen... why ?what of the future...yes, many questions. The kids turn us on. The kids turn on ourwhole staff. When a little guy only reaching to Sam's waist looks up and says,"Uncle Sam, you can have me...Uncle Sam, you can have ALLof me", Sam's heartmelts and his fuel tank fills up and his step is lighter for the day. When a little misssmiles and asks Daddy Jim for the hymn book because she can now read, DaddyJim turns on and his step is quick as he goes to the house to find her a hymnbook.

He shares her joy and presses on.When Mommy Herget faces 125 teenagers on Sunday mornings teens who eagerly sit for an hour and a half for Bible Class, learning a new way of life, she feels encouraged. It drives her on and on, caring, seldom tiring.Yes, it is the children who make us all "tick". We watch them grow. We watchthem change...change from a life of hopelessness to bright and eager students.Christianvilles' children of today are the hope of tomorrow. They will find a way toroof their own houses with zinc instead of straw, to build a real home founded onmarriage and Christian principles, to give their children enough bread and a realhope. We invite you to watch them grow, share our joys, have a part in their lives.Our Sponsor program will give you your own child to care for. Our new schoolbuilding will give you an opportunity to open doors to other children who arewaiting, hoping and in dire need.If we can help you to catch a glimpse of our beautiful children you will never bethe same. No, not after meeting guys like little Claude. At times when we see himon the road we stop the car, pick him up, swing him around twice and give him ahug, hop back in and hurry on. He knows he is loved. And we are "hooked".Yes, and you, like we, will be "hooked". They will grab your heart like they have somany already. And you also will become a part of the Christianville family.Children...yes, they are the heart-throb of Christianville. Our hope. And theirs.

CHRISTIANVILLE SCHOOL BAND

School lile at Christianville is rich with activity. Boys respond well to band practice and even better on their twice monthly performance in chapel on Sunday mornings. Broadening education for our children is our goal. It is beautiful to watchyoung minds open tike a lovely flower. Really beautiful. But other muscles mustbe used. too.

Agriculture is the real muscle builder and the rewards for the future in Haiti arevery promising. Below you see high-schooler Henry Claude bringing in his

i treasure. He is the leader, one of three teachers that we are training for a 4Hgroup. They attend weekly classes after school and then teach the schoolchildren. Their gardens are a delight and food has been rolling into the kitchenlovely tomatoes, egg plant, spinach, cucumbers, carrots, beans... fresh and good.It brings personal joy to them and their parents are delighted with the program.

There is more.

Our latest program on Saturdays nowincludes basket making, art classesand tailoring. The boys are makingtheir first shirt and soon will be making trousers. Christianville Is like abeehive on Saturdays and it is a realfun day, too.We have outgrown our presentbuilding we are well on the wayerecting our new classroom buildingwith dining hall and kitchen so thatwe can help the many children aroundus still longing for education and

y His building skills find him either do-r ing the work himself or supervising.

SAM STREU. OUR DEDICATED CO.WORKER

The girls have their own part in 4H.They have been in sewing classes forseveral years and the olders ones arenow doing professional work, it is

beautiful work and easy to sell. A little craft shop has been started in ourhome but it is now bursting theseams. Here is a picture of a few ofthe items for sale...embroidered

pieces, crochet work, homemadepeanut butter, shell lamps, paintingsby their teachers with the hope thatsoon some will hang there made byour own kids. Lovely dresses,blouses and men's shirts are there for

sale, too. Proceeds go into materialsfor more production.

And in the kitchen there are girls learning to cook. This month they madeheart-shaped cookies filled withraison sauce for the church Mother's

Day reception. It sounds very simpleto our readers, but remember, theseare girls who have grown knowingnothing except a small cook pot on awood fire in their yard. They are excited about learning to cook andbake. It is all so new to them.

Auntie is there, too, supervising andteaching the girls to make cakes. Andshe can't be beat! Auntie has been

cooking for the Christianville family,guests and work teams for over 8years. She is a Jamaican, a real missionary who came with the family.The girls love her, everybody does.She keeps the family well, and plansmeals for the school kitchens alongwith teaching the girls.What a treasure!

Learning to work is an important partof life at Christianville School.

He is grown and married and has enjoyed sponsoring a child. Now he is completing his university work in optometry and plans toestablish an eye clinic at Christianville.

We have good reason to praise the Lord daily for His generous blessings. It is en-,couraging, too, to know that people care and that God can use His children to helpease the need of the suffering people of this world. YOU can help, too inquire today about joining a work team. You will never regret-

Dr. Virgil Ullom is our Dentist for Christianville Dental Clinic. He has providedmost of the equipment in our clinic and has organized our staffing for the pastfour years. Hundreds of children have received excellent dental care and manyadults have been relieved of suffering.

In addition toourregular dental work, Dr. David Leever hasjoined ourstaffand forover two years has provided orthodontal services. He comes regularly from Tampa, Florida.

This year Christianville has built a new dental clinic since the first one, a part ofthe medical building, has become inadequate. A gift of $15,000. came fromF.A.M.E. for the clinic and with this great start our dentists were encouraged tocontribute both funds and equipment for the new building. We will now be able toextend our services to many more children.

All of our school children have their teeth cleaned twice per yearand restored ifnecessary. This is a beautiful way of telling them we love them and want thebestfor them. In addition we have been able to serve many other children from nearbyChristian schools and orphanages.

SEMINAR TRAINING

Truly "light" has come to a lonely valley of beautiful Haiti, a valley of people invarious needs. We began tackling the needs by providing medical care and foodfor the hungry. At he beginning of our second year we began church services -bythis ttme the people had felt the love of Jesus Christ expressed by meetingphysical needs. They responded to the message of salvation...and light, thegreatest of all lights, came into their hearts.

Now/ the church plays a wonderful role in the total program of Christianville.Children grow up in the shadow of the church, playing, studying at night by theonly electric light available in thearea shining down from the brilliantly lit cross atthe top of the church building. Inside, the light of the Word brings peace, hope,joy and salvation, salvation that means freedom from the curse of sin. Faces lightup with joy when truth reaches into hearts and singing bursts forth.Teaching seminars for men handle deep subjects that search the soul. They areheld twice per year.

GROWING IN THE SHADOW OF THE CHURCH

Youth retreats find well over a hundred senior teens studying, praying, singing,and learning a new way of life real life. Sessions on Christian family living,preparing youths for the future are an important part of the program.Consider with us the time they spend...three full days from early morning until9 atnight. The evening sessions provide an evangelistic meeting and a religious film.And youths must play...they end the third day with an afternoon soccer game anda picnic supper.

But the church itself has a complete program of Sunday School, worship hour,youth hour and evening evangelistic service. In the week time there is a Mondaynight study and prayer hour for leaders, Tuesday a Bible study at the SaturdayOutpost, Wednesday night prayer and Bible study, Friday youth night, Saturdaypreacher and teacher classes, and each morning a 5:30 a.m. prayer hour. Everyproject of aid to our people is backed by prayer and the light ofGod's wonderfulWord.

We share words of a beautiful song with you;

"From a loving heavenly father to a world who knew him notcame a man of sorrows, Jesus Christ the LordIn my wandering Jesus found me, touched my life with Hisgreat love. And now He has become my sovereigh Lord."

THY WORD IS A LAMP TO \ \MY FEET , AND A LIGHT TOImyVaTH.

Charge has come to many already and theWord continues to draw men to Jesus

Christ. This is our heart's yearning...thateach one personally will find the Light!

NUTRITION...

A REAL NEED.

lwill>X*

Poor nutrition is the great heartache of third world countries. InHaiti it has spelled disaster. Halfof the children born in Haiti die before the age of 13 year. Mal-nutri-tion is the death angel.When our Nutrition Program reached most families closest to ourCenter, we began to reach out.Farther and farther into the mountains we went, and more and morelittle suffering ones we found. Wenow have 400 children enrolled inthe program.

In our two mountain outreachesdonkeys carry food once per week,food enough for a week. Nutritionlessons are taught for the mothersand a spiritual message providesthe "Bread of life" for all.

At Outreach No. 2 the people wereespecially hungry for the Gospel.Now. after a year and a half thereis a church and a school. Belowyou can see our school teacher

with church members carryingfood for the school children. It is atrip of two and a half hours on foot,Christianville provides a ministerfor the church each week and theleader comes down to a weeklytraining class for deacons andSunday School teachers.

We also provide seeds for thefarmers - seeds that have been tooexpensive for many farmers to buy.

Here you see one of our most recentpatients at clinic...andheading for theNutrition Center. Below you seechildren that were attending theNutrition Center for many months.We began our Kindergarten so thatwe could continue the food programfor them and to keep them well. Thegovernment Nutrition program underwhich we operate does not allow thelittle ones to remain in the programafter the age of 5 years or after thechild reaches an acceptable weight.Aren't those fat little faces gorgeous?Christianville's total feeding programprovides food for over a thousandchildren and some elderly folk.

STAFFING IS IMPORTANTWith growing Christianville comes a growing need for good workers. Our ownboys have been candidates for roles with the mission but each one has been encouraged to be free to make their own choices for life. Some have chosen toreturn to their native Jamaica. Wayne and Chris have opted for evangelistic workin Petit Goave, and Frankie and Nicholas are working with Christianville. David isstill in school and helps weekends. Frankie wastrained to bea mason and in addition to this work does many other jobs. Nick chose a job with the pigs and hasbecome quite experienced with the farrowing and checking on pig farmers inoutlying areas. Yes, staffing is important and we arethankful for God's provision.

YOURS KIDS AND OURS

We stood there in the early morning sun-up. The yard was full of children and the Haitian flag was climbing slowly to the top of the pole. Arousing song -asong of theirfair homeland, broke the spell of silence and young hearts felt again the thrill ofschool re-opening. For us itwas still another joyful victory -a soul stirring experiencethat made us know that God was there and approved of the care we offer ourchildren... ours and yours.

Yes, they are yours.

Yours to love. Yours to care for... yours to pray forand to appreciate.Above you see them at Vacation Bible School... 600 of them and this number includedmany who are waiting hopefully to enter school. In this massive crowd of children areeager hearts, seeking minds, talented kids, The responsibility is deep - the opportunities vast.

Across the green soccer field our eyes caught aglimpse of the new school building,its Impressive structure sketched against the blue morning skies. Aplace of hope itis... a promise of better things to come.But listen to what Jesus taught us...

"For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul ?We have much to teach our children -education, manners, discipline, honesty... butmore. We must teach them .the way to eternal life, the way of truth and fulfillment, ofpeace, of faith and trust in a heavenly Father who cares. This is our responsibility.And one day they will understand and appreciate. Thank you for caring and helpingthem to a rewarding faith.

Christianville's Fish Project reaches out. Above is one ofour 4Hstudent's effort near his home. He has dug this pondand United Nations has stocked it. it is fed by a nearbystream and v^iatched over carefully by its young owner.

Below is a view of the four new ponds being completed atChristianville. United Nations is stocking them partly withfish from Panama and they are due to be harvested twice ayear on a rotation basis. This is to insure a more steady flowof fish into the school kitchen and into the Nutrition Project. While malnutrition continues to be a very real problemin Haiti, we will continue to reach out a hand of love to thelittle ones who suffer.

Our Haitian farmers can relate to our two new pig houses better than to the ultramodern main building for our 18 mother pigs. Stuart Kelly our farm manager keepsour boars in these huts. Since the program began we have given over 100 pigs andbreeding boars to needy farmers of our area. This will give real aid to economybuilding. Most of the males are castrated and either sold to help purchase feed orsent to the school kitchen after reaching a reasonable weight.

Below you see Henry Claude, leaderand teacher of the 4 Hgroup in our school bringing In a basketful of graden produce. The4H gardens have been successful and theboys continue to be faithful in their Saturday workand classes. The girls pursue sewing with the same vigor.

The message of V. B. S. is Jesus Christ. This message was given to 600 boys and girlsages 6 to 20 years, 180 of them senior teens, during a one week daily school. And themessage was taught in delightful puppet shows presented by our teenagers. It wasbrought In lovely felt-graph picture studies, in story-telling, in songs and throughcrafts, it was an exciting week. There were twenty four Haitian teachers and workersled by Jerome Prinston our Haitian student in Johnson Bible College, Tennessee. Hedid an excellent job. And the children were eager students.

There were several thousand quarts of milk -another wonderful life-sustaining gift for our children. God promised to reward ourfaithfulness to Him... see how beautifully He provides for our children. We expect 700children to be enrolled in school this fall which includes over 40 in our MountainSchool.

Here are some of our precious little ones in our Kindergarten of last year. Now theyhave moved into first grade. This year there is much sadness around Christianvilleamong the little ones because we have no space for a new kindergarten. The childrenwill now have to wait until next year when hopefully we will have the school buildingfinished. These little girls were the children of the Nutrition Center sick and malnourished.

It's water time on Saturday morning and our school children were on the way to thepump to get water. They will carry the water on their heads to their homes. Cleanwater is a blessing. Remember, before we dug our well the people had to drink riverwater and it was very dirty. Now they have plenty of clean lovely water to carry home.

JlAnd let us be thankful too,for the living water thatJesus said He gives. He saidit would give us everlastinglife. We want our Haitian

children to have this wonder

ful water... the knowledge ofJesus' love and salvation,

and salvation.
