Haiti Construction Trip

Haiti Flag

  • November 8 – 15, 2012

In less than a week from this writing I (David) will again lead a team to Haiti where we will undertake a construction project for Tom and Ginger Schmidt of Harvest International.  The Schmidts’ intention upon arrival in Haiti was to establish an orphanage for children who lost limbs during the 2010 earthquake.  However, their first “residents” were three severely handicapped children who were abandoned by their families and left to die.

After being in a couple of temporary locations, they have decided to establish the home in the mountain town of Hinche, not far from the border of the Dominican Republic.

In addition to the construction work, the team will have opportunity to share in Sunday worship with a Haitian congregation and show The Jesus Film at several locations in the evenings.

All preparations have been made and we are sitting on “go!”  Please pray for the team, and for those we leave behind at home as we travel.  Thanks to all who  helped to make this trip a reality.

We will have a full report on the ministry in the newsletter next month!
