((Deadline: M ay 1st) Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church Every Sunday: 8:00 A M Early M ornin g Worship Nan Kolo Kindergarten children at lunch Liz Proctor is with Haiti Evangelism & Educational Ministries A “ Friends o f Liz” Celebra tion is scheduled for Fn day, April 24, at Maranatha C hurch, at 7 p.m. the program will include H aitian singers, a slide show featuring the school and church that Liz has developed at N anK olo in northern Haiti, a presentation by the Spirit and T ruth W orship Dancers from N ortheast C om m unity Fellow ship, and H aitian refreshm ents. A lthough Elizabeth P roctor’s pri m ary m issionary sponsorship is from M aranatha Church, she has support ive friends in churches throughout the N /N E com m unity. North Portland Bible C ollege is sponsoring this event “to celebrate w hat G od has done through L iz’ m inistry, to share infor m ation, enjoy fellowship, m usic and food w ith local Haitian Christians, and inspire further support.” M ission ary Proctor studied at NPBC during vacation tim e, and earned a Christian T eacher’s C ertificate there in 1985. M any have gone overseas from N/ NE Portland on short-term m ission trips, but Liz P roctor has the distinc tion ofbeing a career m issionary. She has w orked in Haiti for over 20 years, living with the people, sharing their living conditions, enduring the eco nom ic sanctions and political unrest, even natural disasters. As the result o f Ufante ter/ her work an indigenous C hristian church and school stands on a rem ote m ountain ridge, accessible only by foot or donkey, serving a com m unity that has no other church or educa tional options. The school’s objec tives are to train young people for a m ore productive life and for leader ship in the church. Before M iss Proctor started a feed ing program at N anK olo there was children who w alked to school for one o r two hours, stayed ali day and w alked hom e again without having had anything to eat. Even a drink o f w ater was a special treat. A fter visi tors from M aranatha reported the situ ation to friends in Portland several began sponsoring a sim ple feeding program , and also a system forgetting drinkable water. The slide program will show the lunch program in ac tion. W hen a team com posed o f friends from different churches visited Liz in 1996 they listened to the school p ar 9:15 A M Sunday School ents and leaders tell w hat they needed most. Parents pointed out that som e o f the teachers in the school have to take th e lo n g , stre n u o u s w alk up to N anK olo each day before teaching, and return hom e the sam e way. They asked for help in building a dorm itory building, so that teachers could have the option o f stay ing in N anKolo over night. For this reason a special offer ing will be taken at the C elebration on April 24th to help pay for the m ateri als for a suitable building to accom m odate the teachers. Their choice o f a project dem onstrated the value the com m unity places on having a school w herechildren ingrades K-6 can learn to read and write, and w here their parents can receive instruction in the evenings.
