First FEI Team to Haiti Heads Home!

The first FEI team to Haiti has finished up in Haiti. Nick Rogers, FEI Field Coordinator, commented, “This first team broke ground here in Haiti for all the other FEI teams. And they have set a very high standard in terms of spiritual maturity, workmanship, and ministry among the Haitian people! I believe they will long remember their experiences in Haiti.”


Their last day of work in Jacmel was Thursday, March 18. They were able to complete the foundation, flooring slab, and put up two framed walls. The day was finished off with a celebration. The team invited the Haitian workers to their team house for dinner and a birthday celebration for Polly, one of the team members. The Haitians brought presents for all the team members and baked two cakes for Polly!

The next day the team traveled to Carrefour to stay at Grace Village. Their host, Michel Jeune, was very gracious, arranging lunch and transportation for the team. The team was treated to a tour of the boy’s home at Grace Village and some relaxation time before heading home.

God is working in Haiti and we are thrilled to be part of His plan! Teams are now forming for the summer and fall months. Groups and individuals are encouraged to contact Haiti Team Coordinator, Amy Bogdon, to join the restoration effort! 360.574.3343 or amy@forwardedge.org.
