I, (Lisa), would like to thank everyone for making the transition from Rock Solid Church to Harvest Foundation International a smooth one. Thank you all for your continued prayers and financial support. I trust that this finds you all well and looking forward to spring. If you are in need of prayer please write to me, I would love to pray for you! Please note my email : hassingerlisa@icloud.com . 

 Spring has meant a busy kidding season for the Hassinger’s. Our last doe of three due to kid kidded last Wednesday. We had 4 half- Nubian females born and 2 purebred Nubian boys born. 2 of the half Nubian girls and the two purebred boys are bottle babies, so it has been keeping myself, Ethan and Lexi busy feeding them 4 times a day. Ethan faithfully milks the three Nubian does twice a day. We enjoy the milk, cheese, and ice cream that we get from them. It is such a blessing! I hope to be able to bless our 6 club teachers with an “improved” goat once they are all weaned and good and strong. 

 From September - January, Wayne had the opportunity to meet with the veterinary agents at Odelon’s for some veterinary continuing education. In September they covered hands-on dosage calculations with live animals for common medicines. In October was hydration and understanding fluids. In November they practiced hands-on humane castrations on horses and mules using available local anesthetics. December was giving fluids via a stomach tube and January was calving and kidding training. They ended 2024 with a year end celebration and a time of reflection. This year, the group would like to improve their surgery skills, with need for more skills ranging from basic wound repair to c-sections. January also sadly brought the sudden death of Odelon, the group’s long time leader and coordinator. On the day that Odelon died, Wayne had just seen him that morning. That afternoon Odelon fell over dead. He was 65. We should live everyday like it is our last, tomorrow is not promised to any of us. If you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior share Him with someone who doesn’t yet know Him. If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord, don’t postpone it, today is that day. Confess with your mouth that you are a sinner in need of a Savior, ask Jesus to forgive you and be saved. If you have questions, I would love to talk to you about them. 

 Wayne is currently in the US and plans to stay there for an extended period of time. Bel continues to do animal hours here at the house three mornings a week and has plans to continue to work with the vet agents at Odeon’s in Wayne’s absence. 

 The “club” continues to average between 120-150 kids each week. We still have the occasional new kid enroll in the club but since discontinuing soccer last August it has been primarily the same kids coming week after week. Since starting the new series “The way to God” on January 4th there are over 40 kids that have had perfect attendance thus far. When we have the end of series parties the end of August I plan to give any of the boys that had perfect attendance for the whole series a soccer ball and the girls a puzzle. A couple of weeks ago we showed the Jesus Film in Creole. Many of the kids were listening and watching intently when they got to the part of the film where they crucify Jesus. When the kids first arrive for club, instead of playing as a group we have a review of the previous weeks lesson. The teachers ask them questions and if they answer correctly they get a piece of candy. This time has also been a great chance to have more in depth discussions with the kids and an opportunity to give them real life examples of how to apply what they are learning to their own lives. A chance to make disciples the way Jesus did, as He walked with them. It has been a beautiful thing to watch the teachers interact with the kids and get to know them better. 

 The above picture is a an example of making disciples the way Jesus made them. I am very thankful for our teachers faithfulness and commitment to teaching the word of God and to making disciples, and the way that they love the kids like Jesus loves them. Matthew 25:23: "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'" In this day and age of technology and platforms, may we remain faithful in the seemingly small things of daily life and find our joy and contentment in the Lord. 
 On Saturday mornings it is the oldest boys group, ages ranging from 16+. On average there are between 1-6 young men that will come. This particular morning just one came, Woodley. Yvons and Mauno spent 45 minutes teaching him and discussing with him about how Jesus gave His life to save us from our sin. When they finished talking with him another young man (19yr) came in and they did the same with him. It isn’t about how many people we share Jesus with, it is about the 1. Taking the time to slow down and build relationships with others that show and tell them about the love of God. God cares about each and every individual He created and He desires that every one would repent and be saved. Matthew 18:12: "What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?" 

 I am very thankful for the six teachers/brothers and sisters that faithfully and obediently carry out what God has called each one of His children to do. "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:19-20). We are all called to “teach them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” Thankfully we do not do this alone, Jesus is with us and it is through the power of His Holy Spirit that we do this. 

 To the unbeliever, is today the day that Jesus is calling you to repent and be saved? Hebrews 3:15 Remember what it says: “Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled.” 

 To the believer, who is the one, that God is calling you to disciple? The younger generation needs you to teach them to obey all that Jesus has commanded you. Modeled to them through your life lived in obedience to Christ. It starts by making disciples in your home. Titus 2:6-8 ”In the same way, encourage the young men to live wisely. And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching. Teach the truth so that your teaching can't be criticized."

Today we had the first of four planned Christmas parties with the club kids. Today was the girls turn. When we first moved to Haiti God knew we would need a big house for what He had planned. We had a great time showing the movie "Finding Nemo" in French with 57 people in our living room. The kids enjoyed popcorn, cake and cookies. Lexi is in charge of making all the cupcakes and Ethan is part of the clean up crew!

We just finished a 9 lesson series on the fruit of the spirit and will be taking a 3 week break in December. When we start back on January 4th we will start a 31 lesson series from a tract called “The Way to God” that World Missionary Press published. Every 7 to 8 weeks we will take a break from the lessons to do something fun and different with the kids. I’m looking forward to a new year and waiting expectantly for God to work in the hearts of each of the children.
