As you can see from the letter below we have been asked to leave the property where the temporary location of Adoration Christian Centre was set up. It pains us to be removed from a location which we know a lot of people have poured a lot of sweat and tears into, and a setup that we love, and, so soon after finishing it. But we know that the LORD must have something better in store for us. We know that He has a plan, and that this situation is in His hand. So we will keep our eyes fixed on Him, give Him the praise that is due his Name, and humble ourselves before Him.
Please keep Adoration Christian Centre in your prayers as we make plans for the upcoming school year. Through all this we are reminded of the prayer in2 Chronicles 20: 12 "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you". We really do not know what to do in this situation, but we move forward with our eyes upon the LORD. He is our Rock! He is the great Provider.
Dear Friends of Adoration Christian Centre:
Due to a situation that is outside of our control, it appears that Adoration is going to have to find a different location for the upcoming school year which begins in October.
The temporary site that we were using was owned by Pastor Charles of the Presbyterian Mission to Haiti. Because of a falling out with the church, Pastor Charles has withdrawn his permission to use the property. At this point Randy is hopeful that all the buildings and materials will be recovered. The news of this development is a great disappointment, as many relationships have been severed, and for those who worked so hard to erect the offices, residences, classrooms, playground, bathrooms, kitchen and the tent.
However, the teachers and staff have been a source of encouragement for Randy and Karen and Kim! They are confident in the Lord's goodness, and that even in this, the LORD has a plan. He has always come through for us, and He will again.
We ask for your prayers in resolving this situation, either through a change of heart for Pastor Charles, or that God may lead us to another property where everything can be re-installed. We stand with the decision the Presbyterian Mission to Haiti board had to make regarding Pastor Charles Amicy, and with the decision of the overseeing Presbytery of the PCA. To read their statement on the situation please visit their website at www.presbyterianmissioninhaiti.org. We continue to work with Pastor Ben Hopp, OPC missionary, and Pastor Octavius Delfis, PCA Pastor. The work of the church will continue, as we prayerfully and humbly move forward. Sometimes it seems like life in Haiti is one crisis after another, and it is true, the Devil is hard at work! On the other hand, our work has been so greatly blessed, and many people have been able to witness the love and power of our God, that we stand in awe of His works.
As much as possible we will try to keep our supporters up to date on the developments. Thank you for your continued concern, support and prayer.
Yours in Christ,
CDIA Board and Adoration Team
