Really Big Opportunity!!

Just out side Port Au Prince is one of the largest Tent Cities where hundreds of people who lost everything in the earthquake are now living.  We have heard that this city is called "New Canaan".  Every time we go to and from Port we see this area and pray for the people there. 

 Now God is opening a door for us to touch these lives.

A church has recently been planted  and they heard about the Community Health/toilet project!! 

They are waiting to hear when we will be able to start training with them. 

We are excited and overwhelmed!! 

Humanly speaking we are stretched to keep up with the work we have now.  A new trainer would need to come on as a salaried person, for which we have no funds.  Latrines, Bible, Health books and training materials... We pray daily for these needs to be met here on La Gonave.  

This opportunity is God sized and he will supply all the needs. 

We are looking for a $10,000 commitment to this new adventure. 

$40 for each family plus the salary for a new trainer!!

We are praying Big and Believing Big because we have a Big God!

We will post more pictures in the next few days... so keep checking back.

Toilets 4 Haiti

Our new web page is up and running!!  Over $4000 has been given to the latrine project on La Gonave Haiti on this new sight.  We have a long way to go before every family on the Island has their own outhouse but that is our 10 year goal.  It will take many people doing their part but lives will be changed and many saved!! Thank you each one who has helped!!

We flew on Missionary Flights International, arrived safely in Port au Prince on Thursday afternoon and then took a truck ride up the cost, spent the night at a friends house and crossed the water on very calm seas.  I am praising the Lord for answered prayer.  We are nearly settled in and enjoying a warm welcome from the nationals and fellow missionaries.  I am doing much better.  My neck still gets very tired by the end of the day and that frustrates me but the pain in my arm is gone so I have much to be thankful for.

Village Health Haiti is marching along and God is blessing.  Money is coming in slowly but we send out cement, Bibles and Health Books every time God sends us a chunk of change.   Five villages are at 100% latrines and 3 more will soon join them.  Please pray that we know what scripture lessons to prepare for the next few months.  We appreciate all of your prayers!!

Scottish Compassion Medical Team and a boat ride

We have a team of 21 doctors, nurses and dentists from the UK. In the 2 weeks that they are here they will meet needs of people from 4 different communities. We also have 3 men working on the beginning stages of our new guest house and a 3 person surgical team at the hospital. It is a busy month but it so awesome to see the lives being touched. One of the communities is up the coast from us and due to the amount of people needing to get there and the shortage of vehicles, we took them up on the Breezy Sea boat but it is too large to come into the small docks there so Lowell used his inflatable boat to ferry the team onto shore. Madalyn and I went along as well as our friends Javen and Emily, while the team worked in the hot village of Gros Mangle we guarded the boats and took turns looking for fun things on the bottom of the ocean (otherwise known as snorkeling) I found it hard to believe how cold the water was there just up the coast from us. About an hour before we were supposed to start bringing them back to the boat, Lowell, Madalyn and I went in to see where they were working. Madalyn is doing really good with everyone wanting to touch her and being the center of all the children no longer seems to scare her which is a blessing. We are so thankful for the gift of the inflatable boat and for all our great friends that are here to help the people of Haiti. We praise God for letting us be a part of the work here.
