We have had a great week and the GAiN Haiti mission team finished strong. In the morning we conducted our third and final water filter distribution in Onaville. You may remember from previous posts that Onaville is the largest displacement camp in Haiti. 230,000 moved to Onaville after the 2010 earthquake and live in tents or small tin structures. On this day 30 more families were blessed with clean water and heard about the Good News of Jesus Christ.
In the afternoon we took the team to the nearby community of Chambrun. 1/2 mile down the road is a community of 5000 people who are very poor. They live in mud and stick homes with dirt floors. But the team was impressed with their joy and positive spirit. We had a wonderful time playing with the kids and were truly blessed.
Here is a very short video giving you a better glimpse into Chambrun and the joy of the children.
Thank you for tracking with our team this week and for your prayers. God did wonderful things in those we met with and wonderful things in the team members, as well.
Our next team comes here in July. We will keep you posted about their experiences and about other things happening at NVM in Haiti.
Jim and Cheryl
