A picture of progress...


The past two months has been a race as usuual
to satisfy the needs of everyone. The inevitable
rains are coming. This is our quickest safest
solution at this point. Our plan is to build several of them on our compound. They can used as
office, storage, housing, school, church, cafeteria,
basically anything. The cost to complete one that
13ft. x 24ft. is $10,000. We hope putting up the
of them will go more quickly but as always it will
depend on available funding. We have a larger
foundation completed, about 24ft x 45ft. This
will serve for church and school temporarily as
much more space will be needed for school. We
thank all of you who have given to make this possible. I remind you again that anything that we have in this mission has taken time. Time to aquire land. Time to meet the needs of the people. Time to truly live out Christ before them that they might accept the work we are doing with them and for them. We have built it from the ground up, starting with a little two room building with a dirt floor and a tin roof just like the natives in the area. We had an outdoor kitchen. We had to use the outhouse down the road. We had to go five miles to carry water in fifty gallon barrels. We had no electricity and we used candles and kerosine lanterns for light. Eight years later and after an earthquake we praise God that we have land to continue building and expanding his work on. We invite you to come and visit and see how you can be part of this developing and growing work in Haiti. Please pray for the backhoe loader that we have purchased that is being put on a boat in Riviera Beach, Florida. Pray that is will be on the next boat to Haiti. Dee
