First Team in Haiti a Success!

Yesterday was a great day of progress. Tom and Wendy, the team’s facilitators, are a wonderful pair and Tom is wonderful at leading a team. The team has a wonderful spirit and a cheerful attitude about every inconvenience or slowness. They and the Haitian workers integrate very well. They seem to have kindred spirits. They even sing Christian songs while they work. They share their lunch with their fellow workers and are concerned about the welfare of everyone involved. At about 1:00 pm, the women on the team have been going to the church to do ministry with the children and help out with an after-school feeding program.

The house foundation is complete; the framing is starting, and the floor will be poured at the same time as framing takes place. All the members of the team have contributed in a marvelous way both in their labor, and in their labors of love and encouragement. One young man named Nick has been a real blessing as a worker and leader in construction. He is a very bright young man, who can outwork anyone! He really knows construction and construction management and he wants to stay here when the team leaves and help me with the completion of the construction project. I think he would be a great help.

The whole team is a Godsend. Since the arrived there have been breakthroughs in every area. Just about everything we pray for comes to fruition. I can feel the prayers of all the people who support this team, and it is fervent and effectual, causing wonderful things to happen.
