Roger Mason, teacher at Christian - view Bible college, with Ms. Lorna Charron, student at the College, David Roes, a farmer from Nairn, went to Haiti to visit Rev. Ray aid Becky Brewster and boys, who had just arrived there. While there they helped Rev. Brewster look for a house, as 'the one they are living in now has only cold water. Rev. Mason preached at three churches, including a Baptist church. They visited the school Rev. Mason helped build last June. Now it is ready to put the roof on. They helped hold a "Kid's Crusade" in Carfuk a suburb of Port au Prince, where the Brewsters live. A couple of years ago the School for the Deaf was destroyed. The president's wife funded the building of a new school. It is modern, with blackboards in the rooms, which have proper facilities sized to the children. Children are taught to make good crafts which the school sells. Rev. Ray Brewster works with Rev. Jim Dodge, pastor of the Jesus Church, the home church for the Pentecostal missionaries. Services are held at 5 p.m. Sundays, so the missionaries can go to conduct their own services that ev ning. Rev. Breswter is helping conduct evangelistic crusades. He organizes the services for the Living Waters Gospel Singers, who have just returned this fall. In the hill country at Maissade is the Blackburn Orphanage they visited, tak- ing clothes for the children. Also they took food supplies to Miss Betty Butler and Rev. and Mrs. Brewster. There is a Baptist Mission in the mountains where they teach the natives how to terrace the hills and to farm. There is a craft store to sell the native's crafts, and profits go back to the mis- sion. They raise chickens, and have a few cattle and pigs.
