Here we are already into February. What will the days ahead hold? First a glimpse back then we will see what’s on the horizon.
Month’s of donations gather in a garage piled high creating a path of their own. At some point it all needs to go, so for this collection January 4th was departure date. Delivery from Chattanooga to Charlotte where this photo was taken and then transfer to a larger truck which has made the journey to Florida and now is at Port in St Marc, Haiti. Yes the truck too. We are blessed by some dear friends that saved us space in this vehicle for this crate and file cabinet. Just meet up with them and all the rest is covered. Thank you Lord. Here it is Feb 1st and already the seeds are starting to sprout in the garage as new donations have started to arrive. Have something you might like to contribute? Maybe another saddle like this or a similar one to bless the ministry in the mountains. School supplies, Shoe Bags, Pillow Case Dresses, Heavy Duty Pots and Pans, Tools and more, could be part of the next shipment, it’s up to you. For more information click here and send us a note or wander around the website for ideas.
The calendar is filling up. Later this month from the 19 to the 26th a team will join Marcel with a trip to the Matheux Mountains, Fond Baptist and then down to Bataille. The school building being built, block by block. Made on site, these concrete blocks being set on a firm foundation. 250 children waiting for a roof and to be able to move from the outside in, coming soon. Care to help?
The end of March another team is headed to help with the continued building at Bois Neuf. From our standpoint things may look like they are moving slowly but God’s timing and ours so many times do not match up. The Conference building will bring new meaning to the annual EMEVI Conferences (sometimes called Camp Meeting). It all started with an area of dirt just outside the the Church at Bois Neuf. Coconut Leaves provided the first few years covering to shield from the sun but still little protection from the rains. Then tarps and even now some of those are still being used. Not a big deal that is until you have over 1000 people gather each year with meals being prepared for most twice a day. It’s a big project that is well underway, if you would like to contribute let us know. Conference this year runs April 25th to the 28th.
June will bring a team to connect with some sponsored children and possibly track one or more over the years. There is also the possibility of having clinics, but that is to be seen yet. No shortage of opportunity here just praying for workers.
Well that’s a bit of what’s happening at the moment, more may be seen at the blog, facebook or google + and of course the website has lot’s more to check out. Ever consider sponsoring a child? There are a lot to choose from, visit them at Hope for Haiti.
Please join us in prayer for Marcel and these teams and we strive to honor the Lord with these opportunities before us.
Blessings, Art for Hope for Haiti saintmarchaiti@gmail.com or 423-892-7227
