The GAiN Mission Team's Final Day of Ministry

We have had a great week of ministry. And the team finished strong today. The men finished up their project building tables and chairs for Cheryl's ministry with Haitian women. And the women went to Onaville for the day. Onaville is the largest displacement camp in Haiti which is home to 230,000 people. They worked with the basket making class, the bead rolling class and then conducted a spa day for 32 of the ladies in the community. It was a wonderful day. Pastor Pierre has said that he has never seen anyone ministry to these Haitian ladies as this team has done. What a wonderful thing they did. Here are the sights.

First the men

Working away on benches
Sawing the bench legs
Tom measuring before the cut
Charlie and Andrew putting together the pieces
Harlan was the team lead
The entire team at work

Now for the ladies

Wrapping rope to make a basket
Julia, the pastor's wife in Onaville
Wrapping the rope into baskets
Sewing the rope together into a basket
Cutting cardboard to roll into a bead to make jewelry
Applying glue to the cardboard strips to roll beads
More bead making to eventually become jewelry
Washing feet at the beginning of the spa
Receiving personal attention
A good foot massage does wonders
Soaking the cuticles
Lynda practicing her jug carrying technique
Sandy giving a back rub
This has been a great week of ministry. What a wonderful team they are. We are taking a day off tomorrow to relax, reflect and ready for the return home on Saturday. We thank them all for following the Lord's lead to be with us in Haiti this week.

Serving on your behalf in Haiti,
Jim & Cheryl Warner
