Haiti 2014

 

For the next month we will be using this blog to share about our trip to Haiti this year.  We will make this a community blog, where various members of the team will blog at times. I want to give you an overview of this year's trip.

We again are privileged to serve Pastor Joseph Voltaire and First Baptist Church of Cap Haitian.
We are taking a team of 15 and will work in three different areas.

    Construction Team - We will have a team putting the roof on a new kindergarten.

    Medical Team - We believe this team will be holding medical clinics in a neighborhood, as
    well as perhaps working at the hospital.  One of the members of the team will be training the
    Ambulance drivers of the hospital.

    Water Team - We will be installing Bio Sand Water filters.  Our immediate need it looks like will 
    be to identify a sand source that can be used in the filters. Once we have that done we will begin    
    installation of the filters, at first in schools, then some Widow's homes run by the Church, as
    well as education for those receiving the filters.  We have a project coordinator  on the ground who
    is an engineer.  He and one other person have attended training in Haiti learning the basics of how
    the Bio Sand filters work.  Alain, a local engineer will coordinate this program, along with an
    assistant he has identified.

Lynn Ross and I have just completed Bio Sand Filter training given by Triple Quest who produce the Hydraid filters. I will also have the privilege of bringing the Sunday morning message at First Baptist of Cap Haitian. We are looking to renewing friendships and making new ones.  It is such an awesome opportunity for us to be in relationship with the Church in Cap Haitian, and we are so honored to be able to serve them again this year.

So we hope that you will follow along with us this year, and most importantly we ask for your prayer covering of this team.  Lots of things to get accomplished, and it will not happen but for the hand of God on all we do.
