Joyful Weddings

Over the past several months, several people involved with Joy House Ministries have had a burden to see couples in the local Haitian churches who are living together to be able to get married. Most churches will allow unwed couples to attend services but are not allowed to be baptized or join the church.

As a result of a lot of prayer, donations of accessories (wedding dresses, men's suits, rings, etc.) and many hours of volunteer work under Norma's leadership, the Joyful Wedding project was born. Tomorrow, Saturday, September 18th, the first 4 couples will be married in a ceremony at Jesus Church at Santos. Following the wedding, each couple and 50 of their invited guests will be attending a reception hosted by Norma, Roxanne and Cheryl at Joy House.

Roxanne Clement, who was a member of our Grace Point Team in early August is in Haiti preparing for the wedding and sent the following message this morning: "Good Morning! Just a little update, the Joyful Wedding project is going great. I've spent the last 3 days doing dress fittings, decorating, and building relationships. Cheryl came yesterday and brought more wedding stuff, exactly what we needed. We're seeing God's hand all over this project already. Thanks for all your prayers!!"

Helping couples to be able to get married is a huge need in Haiti. Their culture requires them to spend a significant amount of money on their weddings and an elaborate meal for the reception. With Haiti being the poorest country in the western hemisphere, saving enough money for a proper wedding is virtually impossible. Therefore, most couples never get married. Please pray this ministry will be a huge blessing to the people of the Gressier area and beyond.

Back in NWA

We arrived back in NWA Friday evening. Even though we are glad to be home with Tim, we miss our friends and family in Haiti. We were able to follow-up on ministry done by the Grace Point Team in early August and explore new opportunities for teams in the future.

Kay and I will be updating the blog as we have time to get our thoughts together over the next few days.

Thanks for your prayers,
John & Kay Rodgers
