Dear friends,
You haven’t heard from us for a while because there were many things to be taken care of since my return.   Since there is internship prep in September so that they can start their 9-month period of work, activities were very intense.  Prior to departure the bags need to be packed with seeds, meds, vet materials, etc.; tools, like sprayers, watering cans, hoes, and pick axes need to be marked so that there would be no mix-up.   If you think that this is done quickly then you are wrong! Lots of discussions on how to go about it!  But we got it all done.

And then the day came when our 26 students could start their internship!  From Tuesday until Friday George (our chauffeur) and I were busy taking the interns to their assigned posts on the Southern peninsula.  We praise God that everyone arrived safely and they dove right in to start their work with a lot of enthusiasm.  I was especially happy because this time I was able to take some of our people out in the country.  The last 3 years it wasn’t possible for me due to my hip problems.  But it was almost too much of a challenge for me because on Wednesday, we couldn’t get to Clonard and Dory due to mud too deep and wide to make it through.  But we could leave our two interns in good hands with a deacon who organized that the things would be transported by mule and motorcycle taxi later.

Please, pray for the 26 young people that they can do their work well and that they will be a testimony for the Lord. For some of them is it the first time that they left their families so pray also for quick adaptation in their assigned communities and with their new families there.

We want to wish you a blessed Sunday under God’s Word.

Doris with Frantz and Manuel

Dear friends,
Cherette is a district in the commune of Saint Louis considered to be one of the main centers of voodou in Haiti. A delegation of about 75 left yesterday, Sunday, April 28. The group led a great moment of worship at the Baptist Church of Cherette where SEED Institute students were responsible for worship, presentation of special songs, and preaching.

After the service we ate lunch and left for door-to-door evangelism in the various sections of Cherette (Chayou, Kadimanche, Anro Cherette, Viebouk, Anba Veritab, Medor, Bricourt). Our team reached 179 homes; a total of 13 folks prayed to receive Christ.

Please, pray for:

1. The salvation of the voudou priest Saliba who admits his need for Christ; his grandfather came from Jerusalem, Israel.
2. Youyou, a first year student, who received prayer in chapel for deliverance from an evil spirit 3 months ago. Yesterday, she was attacked again after the outreach.
3. The staff and our family for the anointing of the Holy Spirit as we labor.

In the service of our King Jesus,
Frantz, Doris, and boys

Dear friends,
Attached find some pictures of our graduation which took place last Saturday. We praise God for His goodness that it was a successful day. The rains held off and over 300 people came to celebrate with us. Our special guest was the Secretary of State in his function of godfather to our 23 graduates. We pray that he will speak favorably about SEED so that we may get our recognition from the ministry of agriculture. Since over 10 years we are waiting for this! The Representative of the government from Cayes was also there and promised us to take a letter to the president. Please, pray with us that we will find favor in his eyes.
Also pray for our graduates that they will be able to find jobs. Thankfully several found work already but it gets increasingly more difficult since some big NGO’s closed down due to financial problems. This complicates the economical situation even more since many people had found good employment from these organizations.

Since Tuesday, Frantz and his team are visiting our 20 interns to evaluate them. They also are meeting with the involved farmers to see how our program is being received. They will be done by next Friday. Since last night we have a team of 8 from the US working alongside with us. They are also staying at our guesthouse there. We are looking forward to a good time of work, sharing, and encouraging one another.

We thank you so much for your prayers and your encouragement. You mean a lot to us and we ask God’s special blessings on you.

Have a blessed Sunday!
In His Service,

Doris with family and the SEED staff

• Preparation for the big day!

Dear friends,
Greetings from sunny Haiti. Sorry, that it took all this time to send another update but time just got away from us. Tomorrow afternoon we will have our yearly graduation and everyone is working in high gear. We would appreciate your prayers for the 23 graduates and also that the name of the Lord will be praised. We are planning for 400 people’s attendance. Thank you so much for holding us up during this time. I will send some pictures and an update next week, Lord willing.

I attached some pictures of our students’ nurseries and beginning gardens. The students are very busy with watering and taking care of their gardens. We hardly get any rain and so they have to haul the water from our cisterns. It is exciting to see how the first year students are learning and working along side with the second year ones.

Thank you again for your support and prayers. May the Lord continue to bless you.

In His Service,
Doris for the SEED-team and family

Dear friends,
Since a while you haven’t heard from us. That was due to my computer and internet having problems and the other reason was that I got a bad virus that kept me weak for over a week now. I am doing better and thought to send you a quick update.
We praise the Lord that we got such a wonderful corn harvest. Despite first the drought and then the flooding we never expected this bounty. God is good!
Our students are all busy starting their gardens. I will keep you posted on their progress. Please, pray for the first year students especially. We took on 50 and that’s quite a challenge. There are quite a few that haven’t made a serious decision to follow our Lord yet.
We wish you a blessed Sunday. In Germany we are celebrating the 2nd of advent. May we get ready to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour.
In His Service,
Doris

• All hand picked
• Bountiful blessing
• Students come back from corn harvest
• The rain is coming!
