THE GRADES ARE IN. Those of you who have been following this rambling newsletter know that since last summer, we have been opening extension centers all over Haiti. We are developing these centers to allow folks (usually older men with families) to finish their ministerial training without having to uproot and move to Port-au-Prince for three years. This morning I arrived at my office and Sylvain Charles, one of our grads and now professor at the a center, handed me a grade report, our very first! Eleven students completed the first course (Spiritual Formation), and I'm happy to report that they all passed! This group was made up of ten men and one woman. Charles is already working with the group on the next cours, Introduction to the Old Testament. Good stuff!
