Homes for Haiti Update

This past week has flown bye. After graduating from UTA last week, Brie and I went to go see her parents and got away for a couple of days. Now we are back home and hard at work. Brie started school today and I am setting up appointments, working on newsletters, and looking forward to traveling Texas to raise funds. As of today we have raised slightly less than $1000 a month. We have also had numerous one-time donations that help too. In order to move to Indiana we need to raise $3900 a month to pay for our ministry expenses and give me a meager wage. Now that summer is over we hope that people will have more time to meet with us so we could share what God has laid on our hearts.

Recently we posted about One Mission Society's program called "Homes For Haiti." Here is an update.

They have been working for about 6 days now and have the foundation poured, and the team is beginning to lay down blocks to outline the bedroom and load-bearing walls. The team that is down there now has learned a lot, and has made some notes for the future houses. Before most of the team leaves they will lay down the outline for the second house, so the next team that comes in will have a head start.

Here are a few pictures. The first is a picture of the shelter the family of the future house is living in now. The second is a picture of the bucket brigade when they were pouring cement, and finally the third is a picture of the foundation. The house is 20'x21'.

Please continue to pray for good weather for this team and that the project would be completed on time.

Thank you for your support!
