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.

tained by calling North Portland Bible

Reservations are not necessary, but
