This Clinic Needs Help!

           Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 124:8

Greetings!

The clinic in Boucan Patriot that needs a new roof.
(a little paint would be nice, too!)

Gail and I thank the Lord for all of you and the support you have given us for the work He has us doing in Haiti. As Psalm 124:8 states, ‘Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth’.  We have learned that the Lord uses His people to accomplish His will. By letting Christ work through you, you have been a blessing to us and the Haitian people. The glory goes to God! His work through Gail and I is not finished. We ask for your prayers and support to be able to continue serving His people in Haiti.

It’s been a while since I have written and we have a lot to share with everyone. There will be more updates to follow that will explain how He is moving us to continue working with His people in Haiti. This update would get way too long if it was all included here!

Dr. LeaAnn, seeing a patient in the clinic

As we move forward in the Lord, our first priority is in a village called Boucan Patriot. There is a small medical clinic (staffed with one nurse) that is in dire need of a new roof. This roof is beyond repair, it needs replacing. You may recall that this building is where a chicken fell through the roof right where Dr Neal was talking with a patient! We were all thankful it was only a chicken. We really can’t wait until something major happens and it collapses. This building also has plenty of space for not only the clinic but with a little more work, a nice living area for visitors or additional staff.  But the first need is for a roof!

Raymond, patient, Dr. LeaAnn, and Gail. Notice the hole
where the chicken fell through in the backround!

We have an estimate of $3,800 - $4,000 to replace it. Because of all the unsettledness in Haiti, these prices may jump higher. We have an experienced Haitian carpenter and crew ready and waiting to do the work. We feel that it is better, when possible, to use the local talent. With that being said, we need to raise the money in order to accomplish this. Please be in prayer about coming along side us in helping restore this clinic. Many people rely on this facility. Some would say that this clinic is in the middle of nowhere, and they would be right. There just isn’t much of an alternative for the people in this area. With your help, we hope to have a new roof put on before Dr’s Neal and LeaAnn go back the first part of December.

If you feel a desire to help in this project, or in supporting Gail and I in His work, donations can be sent to Grace Hill Ministries and to the address listed below. We are a 501(c)3 organization, so all your donations are tax deductable. Or, you can use the PayPal button and put in the remarks that these funds are for a new clinic roof or for ministry support. We thank you and give God the glory!

Stay tuned, there is much more we want to share with everyone! Our Lord is alive!

God bless,
