For some time we have been considering the possibility of building homes for people in need in the nearby community of Chambrun. As we have reported before this is a very poor community of 4000 located just 1/2 mile from NVM. Recently the decision was made to start these projects. The homes are being provided to those with the greatest need. Here are some photos of the first home being constructed.

The home will be completed soon. All the is left is to put on the roof! We are so grateful for the team from Dallas who funded and came to help construct this home.
We have also been dreaming for some time about growing crops on our compound. After a few test plots NVM has expanded the faming effort. There is a large demand for watermelons in Haiti. So that is what is growing in our field. Here is a shot of the field where the planting was just completed.

Brian Bergen is managing this process. He also has planted a 1/2-acre garden behind the staff apartments where vegetables will be grown. More photos will be forthcoming as the crops develop.
We are so grateful for the progress being made. God is good and we are moving forward in faith based on his faithfulness.
With news from Haiti,
