The GAiN team just completed it's ministry for Monday. They conducted water filter distributions in churches at two local communities. And it was a great success! We distributed filters to 25 families at each site. And we gave them each two clean water buckets so they can share their clean water with another family.
Dirty water is the leading cause of sickness and death in developing countries. Chorea and Diarrhea are two of the most common illnesses. Both are found in Haiti. Chorea is the most dangerous but can be treated. Diarrhea is more common but more easily treated. Both of the illnesses are caused by drinking contaminated water. The filters we are distributing will remove all the germs and bacteria that cause these illnesses. They will make a huge difference to these families. Here are the sites from the day.

Thank you for your prayers, they make all the difference. And please continue to pray. Tomorrow we do our third distribution in community in the mountains near NVM. They are wonderful people and are in desperate need. And in the afternoon some of the ladies are helping Cheryl with a sewing class and the rest will be planting corn in the NVM farm! I'm sure you will want to check back to see that. Thanks so much for your support and prayers.
We will post every day to keep you up-to-date on what is happening here.
Serving on your behalf in Haiti,
Jim & Cheryl Warner
