THANKS ECA!!!

This page is just for you all at Elizabethtown Christian Academy. I finally have a "gift" for you! This past week I was able to do some crafts with the things you gave me at Chistmas with 2 of my classes. The first pictures are from a town called Savan Plat. The second group is from a class in a town called Thomond (toe-moend). I filled each plaque with a piece of construction paper. Then I asked them to pick out a verse that was special to them and write it on their plaques in English. Then they each stood up and shared with the group what their verse said in English and what it meant in Creole. Since I have lots of different levels of students each of the beginners used John 3:16. They had a lot of fun. Crafts isn't something they are used to doing but they love colors. As you can tell from the pictures there were stickers everywhere. They used the borders of the stickers to stick on their clothes.

And the important things is they got to learn about and share special verses from the Bible with their friends. And when other people go to their house and see their art project they will be able to share again with them what it means in Creole and what it means to them.

Thanks for your generosity and love for my "people group". I told each group where the gift came from.

17 One of my little Haitian buddies holding his plaque. He is always at class and always on time. He is shy but when I can get him to talk I can tell he is doing really well with his English.

16 Sorry, we don't have any photo editing software. I don't know if you can read this but it says "Luke 11:3, Give is day by day the food we need. Like 11:3, Ban nou manje nou bezouin pou jounin an." I thought that showed a lot of our culture and the things Haitian kids deal with. Food is always on their mind because there is so little to go around.

20 This little one was a little too small to participate but they thought she should hold some plaques for her picture.

18 Uh, oh. I think we have a copy-cat.

19 Madam Janes can neither read or write but she enjoys something pretty as much as the next person. I wrote a verse for her and then let her decorate her plaque.

14 Two of the young men were working together to search in the Bible and find a verse they liked.

12 This was my whole group for the day but I was a little disappointed because a lot of my regulars were missing that day for whatever reason.

Kerolin lucked out because she went to class with me both Friday and Saturday so she made 2 plaques. As you can tell she preferred having the pictures on her clothes as opposed to her plaque. This plaque had John 3:16.

13 I zoomed in and got a candid shot of the kids laughing and getting ready for the picture. I thought it turned out cute!

10 The girls huddles up and worked togther at decorating and writing their verses.

7 Well, that was as good as I could get it seemd. Are they cuties or what? The left one is Getti and the right one is "She Love".

9 I got one of them to look at me. Getti was too shy. But she is a faker, she is really outgoing!

8 I almost got them both looking but I was too slow.
