Spa Day at NVM (and a report on the men's work, too!)

Hello everyone! We have just finished our Wednesday in Haiti and what a great day it was. The ladies did something very unusual. In fact, something that has never been done before. They conducted a spa day for 45 Haitian ladies from Chambrun. They gave them the full treatment. They gave back rubs, facials, cleaned feed and hands, did makeup and applied polish. It was great. And Jennifer and Tolu also spoke God's word into their lives. It was a wonderful afternoon. Here are the sights.

A hug of joy
Tolu is always smiling
Sally has made a new friend

And now the men

And yes, the men were busy too. They were doing the Lord's work today just like Jesus did when he was growing up. They were using their carpentry skills to build Cheryl tables and benches. These pieces of furniture will be used for the women's ministry in the weeks and months to come. Harlan, Charlie, Andrew and Tom are doing a fantastic job!

So there you have it. The GAiN mission team's Wednesday in Haiti. We are so grateful for each person the Lord has brought to us this week. They are doing a great job with a great spirit. Please be praying for our Thursday. The ladies travel to Onaville to minister to the women there. Onaville is the largest displacement camp in Haiti. And the men continue building benches. We will report in tomorrow evening.

Serving on your behalf in Haiti,
Jim & Cheryl Warner

  1. Everyone needs a relaxing day once in a while, and it was nice that they were treated to a whole day of pampering. Only thing missing is a long dip in the jacuzzi, and you’ve really got the whole spa experience wrapped up!
