March has been a busy and blessed month so far! We apologize for the lack of updates recently, but we have had limited internet access since we came back to Haiti. We have already hosted 2 teams this month and have made some great progress on the new compound! We are excited about what’s to come in the next few months!
We had a team from Fairview United Methodist Church in Maryville, Tennessee spend a week with us working hard on the new compound! They built the new well house for our well which will keep the well safe and secured. They also helped lay block and build the walls for the new cafeteria! The wired the new bath house and also worked on our truck. We showed the Jesus Film 3 nights and also preached a revival service with Pastor Hubert at the ReachHaiti Church on Santo 19. Thanks so much team for all your hard work and support!
During the same week, we also hosted a team of young men from the University of Kentucky during their Spring Break. The guys worked hard each morning on the land helping to level the ground, spread dirt, and build the walls on the cafeteria. Each afternoon, the team did a VBS with our kids on different Bible stories. They also went with us to show the Jesus Film during the evenings. The kids had such a great time with the team, and we really appreciate you guys for coming down to serve on your Spring Break!
After a very hard working week, the walls for the new cafeteria are up! We will be putting the roof on soon. The cafeteria is designed with a locked depot to store all the food and supplies for the orphanage as well as a kitchen, serving buffet, and large room for eating. We hope to finish the cafeteria very soon! We want to say a special thanks to Pastor Ronnie Hepperly and RIO Central Church for their donation towards the new cafeteria!
Mike and Andrea will be returning to the mountains of Forte de Pin tomorrow morning where Mike will preach a large service at one of our churches as well as visit another church in our network. The pastors have been preparing for this service for a month now, and we are expecting God to do great things through it!
We want to thank all of you for your continued support and prayers for the ministry here in Haiti! We appreciate each one of you! God has done so many amazing things recently, and we are looking forward to moving the kids into their new homes this summer!
