NEW SEMESTER OPENS. With all the troubles going on these days, I have to admit I worried that some of our students might not be able to make it back for second semester. Thankfully and by the Grace of God all have checked in are in class. Several answers to prayers were celebrated during the break, including Yanick's husband. Yanick is our first female student in decades, and her husband had his thyroid removed. The doctors say he came through the survery well, and they are pleased with his recovery.

Please continue to pray for our students. Inflation is spiriling out of control. The gourde (Haitian money) lost over 10% of its value this last month. The labor troubles in South America are driving up gas prices here. Overall the economic situation is bleak, and our students and their families are feeling the pinch.
