Friday
In the morning we headed for the community of Thomazeau. This is a poor community about 40 minutes away from our compound. And most of it was over very bumpy roads. On this trip, Collin Creek Community Church has donated funds to distribute 100 Sawyer water filters. On this day we were able to bless 50 families with filters. But before they received their filters we had the change to speak to them about good sanitation and hygiene. We also demonstrated how to use the filters and let them practice. And at the end of the presentation we had the opportunity to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Here are highlights from the morning.
In the afternoon we returned to the NVM compound. The ladies helped Cheryl with an event for the women. They played games and taught the ladies how to croche. Cheryl is conducted these sessions to encourage and bless many of the ladies in the church. They had a great time.
A few members of the team are making new shelving units and tables for the NVM Hope Gift Shop. We will show you the final product soon!
And work goes on siding the medical housing units. They are coming close to completion and will be a blessing for years to come.
Saturday
Today worked continued on the compound. And Tom Miller helped Jim with his monthly pastor's conference. We fed them a hot breakfast, led them in worship, did a fun activity and shared with them lessons from 1 Peter 2. Tom and Jim are good friends from GAiN and Tom did an outstanding job teaching. There are the sights of the day.
Thank you for your prayers. The team is doing well but pray that they finish strong and stay healthy. And pray for Danny. He has thrown out his back and the team is nursing him back to health.
We will keep you posted in the days to come. We appreciate you all.
Serving on your behalf in Haiti,
Jim & Cheryl Warner
