Progress

Chris & Rebecca Girvan arrived in Haiti just two weeks ago, August 17 and are going to be working with Haiti ARISE until June 2011. They will be teaching ESL, doing basketball clinics and youth Bible study. With the myriad of other ministry opportunities we are sure they will be busy and get their hands dirty. Becca grew up a farm girl and Chris is from Red Deer, Alberta. This is Chris' third trip to Haiti. They spent two years previous in South Korea teaching ESL, so the culture is quite a contrast to the fast paced, high tech city life. So far they are enjoying themselves. They will be working with the Haitians to keep the work going while we are in Canada. You can follow their blog at In His Service. Things are starting to progress. Four posts were set yesterday for the new wall system and the footings for the tech school are being dug. The road is being fixed too with the Bobcat, smoothing it out with rubble removed from the property.
