The GAiN Mission Team's work is Underway in Haiti

The GAiN mission team arrived in Haiti on Wednesday. And today they started their work. The team will be distributing water filters to 100 local Haitian families. Today they spent the morning preparing for those presentations. As you see below they were assembling the filter systems. A hole was drilled in the dirty water bucket and the gravity-fed filters were attached. The dirty water will flow through the filter into the clean water containers. They are also seen below. This small filter will easily supply clean water for more than one family. Tomorrow we begin the distribution which includes a presentation teaching good hygiene and sanitation. And at the end of our time we will present the gospel. We will have more on that tomorrow.

 The team also brought Cheryl a wagon. She had requested a sturdy wagon with big wheels so she could more things around the compound. She expected a homemade wagon but the team brought a great store bought wagon!!!


On Friday afternoon the ladies will be helping Cheryl with an event for Haitian ladies. They spent some time tonight getting ready.


And some of the other members are working on a project to build shelving units for Cheryl to be used in the Hope Gift Shop at NVM.  They are just getting started. We will show you their progress throughout the week.



Please be praying for our mission team this week as we reach out to Haitians with God's love and care. Pray that many are blessed and those in need come to God for salvation and new life. Thanks so much.

Serving on your behalf in Haiti,
Jim & Cheryl Warner
