Jamie and Janessa are having fun with Charissa playing a new game of “Head Bands” – a game where you have to guess what object is on the card on your forehead. FUN in Haiti!

A new worship center for NVM Compound
After loosing the large church tent to the strong winds a number of months ago, they are turning the old dining hall on the NVM Compound into their Worship Center – Praise God for all the materials and strong volunteers.

Jim & Cheryl in Haiti
Along with starter palm trees being planted, you see the backhoe being used for work on the compound. NVM, with the help of many donations and aid from Global Aid Network, is finishing the mission team facility, an orphanage, school offices where 350 children attend, a worship center for the 800 church members and agricultural fields to teach the Haitians how to plant crops.
NVM Facility in Haiti for mission teams
This facility is wonderful for mission teams! Makes it so much easier for ministry work when you have a safe and somewhat nice place to lay your head and eat some great food and take a nice cool shower.
New Friends in Haiti for Jamie & Janessa
Jamie and Janessa made new friends when they brought out some of their art supplies – Etch-a-Sketch and drawing pad with markers.

Our home in Haiti
Greetings to you all. We had a wonderful trip to Haiti yesterday. The flights were smooth and uneventful and our 13 checked bags all arrived safely! We are so grateful. It is also wonderful to see our Haitian friends and to get reconnected.
We will be posting to our blog a number of times each week. Some of the postings will share with you what normal life is like here at the compound. Others will share what God is doing through our ministry here at the compound.
Today will will start by showing you our new home. Actually our two homes. They have prepared two tents for us; one for Cheryl and me and one for Jamie and Janessa.
Here is a shot of one of the tents. The other is just to the left.
Here is the inside of our tent. The hanging white drapes over the beds are the mosquito nets. The tents keep them out pretty well but the nets insure a good nights sleep!
Here are Jamie and Janessa on the inside of their tent.
We very grateful to the staff of the Nehemiah Vision Ministries compound. They have prepared great homes for us and their welcome and love is much appreciated. We will post frequently to let you know how things are going. Tomorrow we will tell you about the ministry of the Nehemiah Vision Ministries compound.
In the meantime, please post comments to our blog postings. We will love to hear from you.
Serving for you in Haiti,
Jim, Cheryl, Jamie and Janessa
