GAiN Team in Haiti going Strong Midweek

On Wednesday, the GAiN mission team in Haiti changed gears. After two days of conducting vision clinics the team changed their focus. One group was involved in laying cement and doing carpentry work. The other team helped Cheryl with a ladies ministry.

NVM does a lot of work on vehicles. So over the last few months we have been constructing an extension of the warehouse to do maintenance on our many vehicles. On Wednesday a portion of the GAiN team worked alongside a Haitian construction team to lay the cement driveway for the garage. There is also an office and storage area inside the garage. A few of the team members put up a couple of walls and one door. In the hot Haitian sun and rainy days, this garage will be a real blessing.

A number of the ladies on the team helped Cheryl with a ladies ministry. About 30 women from the church who live in Chambrun were invited to an event. The purpose of the event - to have a good time! These ladies live difficult lives and it is a blessing for them to spend an afternoon relaxing, playing games and doing a craft. It was a big hit!

Here are the sights from the day.

We are having a wonderful week with the GAiN team. They are a great group! Please pray for the remainder of the week. Thursday looks like Wednesday. More work on the maintenance garage and conducting two ladies events in Onaville. We will report back with details and photos!
