The chickens have hatched!

We have classrooms for CCES at last! The director (principal), Maria, plans to first paint, and clean up the place a bit, then move over after Easter week. The Sabana Perdida school will join them later, probably in the fall. Thank you for your prayers.

Lots has happened in the Deaf world here lately.

The World Federation of the Deaf has two days of meetings here in Santo Domingo this week.

A new Baptist Deaf ministry (with separate meetings taught in Sign, by Deaf leaders) was initiated by Bob Bell of Voice for the Deaf, this past week. The Deaf finally have a church service on this side of the river, which has a huge Deaf population, previously with no Deaf church/ministry in the area.

Educators working in the government are showing more interest in training teachers of the deaf, and we've been invited by two different government organizations to help with the training.

On a personal note, I have been involved in so many things, along with the regular responsibilities at the schools, that I haven't had much time to go apt. hunting. Pray that I'll find something appropriate and soon! I need to move this month.

Vision Trust's board was here this week, and we had a pleasant meeting with them. They asked what some of our greatest needs were. My response...workers! If I were triplets I couldn't move on all that needs to be done! That's another prayer request: That the Lord of the harvest will send out workers.
