Progress on the Ground

The days do not seem to slow even though the news is beginning to wane from Haiti. There is still so much to be done. We are, however, pleased with the progress that is being made on the ground with our Haitian leadership team in collaboration with Samaritan’s Purse. It has been a great blessing partnering with them there. They are helping with the immediate clean-up, provision of relief for emergent needs and initial repair to some of our damaged facilities. Their engineer sent sad news that the technical school will have to be demolished. It seems, after seven years of work, we are starting all over. However, we hold on to the hope that it will be a better, stronger school the second time around. We praise God for his amazing favor in keeping our residential building standing solid. This is a great testimony of one of our core values of building naturally and spiritually with excellence. Marc has been busy with daily meetings and speaking engagements that have proven to also be profitable in getting the word out for help. We are finalizing our plans to send the assessment team down and we will keep you posted as work continues. Please continue to keep the team and staff in Haiti in your prayers and pray, also, for the travel arrangements and well-being of our assessment team as they prepare to embark.
