How can you cultivate an atmosphere of prayer in your home?
Prayer is a central aspect of the Christian life. Yet, many of us may face questions like, “why do we pray?” and “how should we pray?” In this Parent Connection, we refelcted on the gift of prayer in our lives—what it is, and why we do it.

home at PDX

Home sweet home!  We were sent on our way with hugs and messages of love and gratitude, both to the team and to Glenwood.  That word is uttered in loving tones by everyone we meet.  Glenwood's support is recognized and greatly appreciated.  And sending a team is vastly appreciated and very encouraging to Wawa & Josette, Johny & Rosadite, Lauren & Mason, and the teachers & students at Merger.

Thank you for your part in this visit and supporting Haiti efforts.

Gratefully,

Merger Kindergarten

We dedicated the house today, and visited Merger.  Compared to the slum we've been in all week, Merger is lavish!  There is space between the home; trees; and grassy open spaces.

We had a lot of fun interacting with the students during their recess time.  Some of us got to meet our sponsored children.  We also delivered some school supplies from Glenwood.  Most of the kids we talked to said they love Glenwood and their sponsors.

Working on the roof

Today we put the finishing touches on the house. The roof went on, and the floors were completed.  We took photos with our new friends.  It's very enjoyable to see the finished product, and to share in the workers' sense of accomplishment.  Our team is breaking up tonight, so we took advantage of the free afternoon and did our Bible study and daily de-brief before dinner today.
