1/28 Update: International Ministries Missionaries Provide Emergency Medical Care
1/20 Aftershock Update: A 6.1-magnitude aftershock hit Haiti at 6:03 AM today. The U.S. Geological Survey reports that the epicenter was about 35 miles west-southwest of Port-au-Prince and about 6.2 miles below the surface of the earth. American Baptist missionaries working with victims of last week’s quake all report being safe. Dr. Steve James is at Christianville about 25 miles from the epicenter of this morning’s aftershock. Nancy James, some 100 miles north in Haut Limbe, also felt the shaking. Kristy Engel, Ketley and Vitale Pierre are in Port-au-Prince. Madeline Flores is in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

A Missional Presence: Roosevelt Elementary School
by Rev. Mark Rambo, Associate Pastor, Olympia FBC
Six years ago one of our members came to me asking what I thought about our church helping with a local elementary school’s Fall Carnival. Her son was a member of the PTA and her grandchildren were students at the school. After some prayer and conversation we agreed and co-sponsored the school’s Fall Carnival with the PTA. We provided games, game stations, prizes, candy and workers. This allowed parents the freedom to be with their children and families, and enjoy the carnival. That was the beginning of our relationship.
