Blessings Pastor Jean!
I trust and pray that your week is going well and that you are ever learning to abide in Christ. Here is a verse for you...

Psalms 41:1-3
Blessed is he who considers the poor; the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; you will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness; you will sustain him on his sickbed.

We will need to ship our container to Haiti by Monday, April 11th!
We have a huge opportunity to supply our orphanage and the Diquini hospital with literally tons of badly needed supplies without having to carry stuff over in suitcases. And WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW filling the container!

Here are Pastor Enoch's requests for the Haitian orphanage (view Enoch's letter)!

• 50 beds with mats that are very much needed. (Bed sheets and plastic covers! Growing up without parents, some of our kids wet their beds often.)
• Benches and tables for the schools.
• A good set of aluminum plates with cups for all our 50 children in the orphanage or better if we could have enough for all the 270 children in the schools.
• One or more motor-bikes could be very helpful as they are lower in gas (Gasoline cost around $5.00 US per gallon).
• Shoes for church and tennis shoes of all sizes.
• Pants, shirts, t-shirts of all sizes.
• Dresses: Small, Medium and Petite Sizes.
• Soap, toothbrushes, toothpastes, hair supplies for both girls and boys.
• School supplies, such as pens, paper, chalk, crayons.
• Powdered milk, vitamins, anti-bacterial ointment, fever reducing pills, antibiotics.
• Food, food, food you know it,brother. (Cases of canned food like vegetables and tuna - 1 can of tuna can add quite a flavor to a large amount of rice.)
• Batteries of all sizes.
• Electric Keyboards, amplifiers for Church, microphones.
• Mountain Bikes.
• Toys
• PVC Piping, and a wide assortment of fittings, for plumbing work. (The orphanage water is piped down the mountain with a make-shift PVC system that runs on top of the ground - and is frequently broken.)
• Oh, don’t forget a GOOD electric pump to fill the tank on top of the house.

Please bring your donations to the Upper Room Fellowship Meeting this Saturday night!!! Oh, yes, you can just give money, and we will do the shopping!!!

Or, call me (936-718-5150), or Nate Roddy (281-795-2737) to arrange a time for a pickup! Let's move together to be a blessing to allot of needy folks on this!

Thanks for helping make Haiti a better place for coming generations! Please be praying for our upcoming trips! For more information visit www.RestorationGlobal.org

Much Love and Merci Beaucoup!
Pastor Ken Bitgood

On Monday, March 27th, over a hundred people from 6 churches gathered with our family at the Sanctuary for an amazing and a wonderful multi-denominational, multi-cultural prayer meeting. God is definitely calling His people to unite together for prayer and I urge you to be at future gatherings! God is releasing to us a new degree of authority to declare HIS KINGDOM COME, HIS WILL BE DONE. Thanks to all who prayed and contributed to make this such a blessing! And please, let's make every Monday a priority for prayer (7:00 PM).

Last Sunday a few pictures were taken at the children's church at Woodsedge Church in the Woodlands, Tx. These precious kids had taken their own allowance to purchase over 400 CDs that are being shipped for distribution across China even now. If you know of those, young or old, who would like to get involved with the Digital Bible Society by donating CDs - please call Dean Allen at 936-232-9993. (After copying the CDs, we will allow each fellowship the blessing of praying over them before distribution.) If fact, why not call Dean right now, just to tell him he is such a great guy!

Envision the biggest party you've ever attended. Multiply attendance by 100 or even 1,000. Now add two full days of fun, awesome Christian bands, an exciting children's area, world-class skateboarding and BMX demos, and opportunities to see your friends and family come to Jesus Christ. That, my friend, is a Luis Palau Festival.

When and Where:
CityFest Houston will take place at Eleanor Tinsley Park in downtown Houston, on Saturday and Sunday, October 7 & 8, 2006.

Great Music:
Free concerts with artists like Steven Curtis Chapman, Kirk Franklin, Mercy Me, TobyMac, Point of Grace, Jump 5, and Audio Adrenaline.

Good News:
Known and respected by millions of teens and adults alike, Luis Palau wants you to know one thing: you can know and experience true meaning and joy in this life. You’ll find that in Jesus Christ. That’s why Luis and hundreds of churches in the Houston area are bringing you this festival. Click here to learn more about Luis Palau.

VeggieTales Children’s Area:
Face-painting, balloons, games, inflatable bouncers, and, of course, Larry and Bob from VeggieTales plus a special presentation from ventriloquist Mark Thompson!

Livin It Demo:
Skating and riding on a world class park built specifically for the festival, professional Christian skateboarders and BMX bikers demonstrate their skill and give a little background about what gives them purpose in life.

Sports Zone:
Meet and interact with top Christian athletes who are passionate about their sport and their beliefs. Learn how they make faith a part of their daily game plan.

Operation Compassion:
A vital part of every Palau festival, Operation Compassion focuses on the physical needs of the region, from housing to hunger to literacy. Check back in the coming months to see the many opportunities you will have to get involved in these or other ministries.
