Thank You ‘Kids Against Hunger’

Psalm 106

Praise the LORD.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;

his love endures forever.

 As the Psalmist states, 'his love endures forever'. Wow! Just think of that for a while! Amazing. We should always be giving thanks to the Lord!

Thank You ‘Kids Against Hunger’

Working on one of five food packing lines

We give thanks to the Lord for being able to pack food with ‘Kids Against Hunger’ last Saturday, October 17th. Four couples from the St Louis MO area came all the way up to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to make it happen. The Range Community Bible Church raised the money and sponsored the event. There were over 60 people that participated in packing 20,000 meals to be shipped to the Northwest of Haiti. These meals will be shipped along with approx 250,000 other meals. All total, they will fill a 40 ft shipping container. We will be in Haiti to distribute it once it arrives.

All ages helped out!

There was good fellowship along with a joyful attitude during the 2-3 hour event. Everyone just dug in and did whatever needed to be done. It was a surprise to see the Monday morning local newspaper. The packing event was the main story! They had a big picture along with a good story at the top of the front page! Next year, we hope to double the amount of food we can pack and get even more community involvement. We will see what the Lord has in store for us!

Christopher Arrives in the U.S.

Christopher standing in the truck. Now living in the U.S.!

Some of you know Christopher. He has been a good friend and effective translator for a lot of us while in Haiti. Chris got an opportunity to move to the States, so he put what he could in his backpack and made the trip. Gail and I are more than happy to have him live with us. He got a construction job within 3 days of being here! Also, he’s studying for his written drivers test along with going to night classes for his GED. He’s a busy man! We are proud of him.

Clinic Roof

The ceiling in the clinic at Boukan Patriyo (Haitian Creole spelling) is coming down! Well, that’s on purpose though. Pastor Voix is removing it in order for us to put a new roof on the building. When I say roof, what we hoped to do was to put new tin over the wood that is in place. Like a lot of things in life, it won’t be that easy. We found out that the tin is supported by tree limbs, not lumber. Removing the old tin will more than likely destroy the tree limb framework. Plus, we can’t really put new tin on the existing structure. So, we find ourselves reaching out to you for help. We need an estimated $2,200 more in order to purchase the lumber needed to make the rafters. Please prayerfully consider coming along side us. This clinic serves some of the neediest people living in the Northwest.  

A lot of smiles!

Medical Trip in December

We are in the planning stages of a medical trip from December 1 through December 9 of this year. Doctors Neal and LeaAnn Schroeter along with Christopher and myself will be going to a hospital in La Pointe, which is located along the Northern coast of Haiti. After a few days there we will be headed to the clinic we are working with in Boukan Patriyo.
