Homes For Haiti Update

Labor Day weekend is over and we are getting back in the swing of things. Brie is hard at work on her thesis for her masters degree and I'm working hard at getting together with people to share about our ministry. Next week my bosses, Kent Eller and Warren Hardig, will be in town. We will get a chance to travel around Texas sharing with people. If you know of anybody we can share with let me know. We would love to share with anybody willing to listen. Both Kent and Warren have amazing stories and a passion for what they do.

Our first house down in Haiti is finally complete. Here is the update I received yesterday.

Hi all:
Hope all is well at home. The US team finished its last day of work
on the house today! We had a lot that we wanted to get done, so today
was a long day. We worked on the roof system, installing the
remainder of the rafters, then the perlins and metal. We also worked
on the doors and started the ceiling. We went through the batteries
for our power tools quickly today, so that slowed us down a bit. In
the afternoon, we had a small generator available to recharge
batteries. There is a bit more work to do on the doors, one more small piece of metal to install on the roof and most of the ceiling still needs to be installed, but
Gabriel said that they can finish those things tomorrow. We had about ten
people working at the site today.

At the end of our work day, we gathered with the family and some of
the workers to pray and dedicate the house - it was a special time!
The family is so grateful and the team was a joy to work with.

Praise God for what he is doing all over the world. We hope you have a blessed week!
