A Season of Fruit

This is what Victory looks like! 
Honestly, I have to blink, pinch myself and smile reflecting on the journey, and it's not over...In some ways, it's just beginning.  The gift that God entrusted us with to disciple, parent, and educate these precious Haitian leaders is a treasure!  As we stand steadfast in prayer for provision for the HoM students, staff and community; we also cling to unwavering hope that finding jobs, future spouses, and their family's continues to ripple through with incredible testimony and tangible faith!

   As we seek God's will, there are still times that we rebuke fear of the unknown for the ministry, every life, and continued sustainment but this is NOT one of them - We rejoice in the fruit of obedience!   This May, we are proud to share Miselene Lucas completed her AA Science, James Joseph - Accounting and Jocelyn Jumeau - Business Management from Weatherford College in Weatherford, Texas!
Jocelyn - '18 Business Management WC Grad

Miselene - 2018 WC Graduate
Miselene needs prayer to pass the TEAS exam to get in to nursing school.  James hopes to find a job in Haiti doing Accounting, as Alumni Patrick recently did!  Jocelyn looks to a bible college or seminary degree now.  He still hopes to be a pastor in Haiti.  His business degree will prayerfully put food on the table for him and his family and help with sustained economic leadership in the community God calls him to serve but now for spiritual equipping and theology!  What a beautiful season for these three.  They have strived, sacrificed and worked so hard to accomplish these goals and their dreams!

Then, their little sister Terah Kaye Barnes begins her college journey as she graduates from high school this June!  She will be fourth generation at Tarelton State University, where she received a full academic scholarship!  Her broad worldview has been a catalyst to her faith and determination.  This young warrior is majoring in sports medicine, looking toward to a future impacting those around her through Physical Therapy.

2018 - CSUB Graduate Mama Christi Barnes
While pastoring SSCC, John is currently writing a devotional that he hopes to get published in the next year...
Last, but not least, myself, Christi, also graduates with a social work concentration completed from California State University. I continue to pursue my graduate degree in Marriage/Family Therapist professional counseling. As a pastor's wife, missionary, foster/adopt & bio mama; this degree that God has called me to, will only strengthen our life's calling and passion. My heart still yearns to be used in the mission field of human trafficking, but for now, resting in this season of equipping, bask in God's goodness and graciousness of the House of Moses family!
