Work at the Clinic

The medical clinic here at Haiti Arise has been open for two months now.  It is open three days per week.  Diane from Canada has worked hard since March to get it up and running.  There is a great  staff of one doctor, male nurse, pharmacist, janitor, and an two young men who administrate the office. All of the staff are Haitian.  This is awesome as the goal of Haiti Arise - to raise up Haitian leaders and workers.

Activites at the Church!

There are all kinds of activities going on at the church all through the week, but lately there has been some activities that haven't been welcomed......there were some honey bees trying to make a hive inside the walls of the sound booth and the most recent has been chickens trying to roost on top of it.
After checking the top of the sound booth, we discovered that there was an egg laying there!

Mother's Day in Haiti

Mother's Day is the last Sunday of May here in Haiti.  This year, the ladies of the church, decided to plan a few nights of revival meetings, inviting friends and anyone else who was interested in attending.  There was lots of inspiring music, testimonies, and messages from John 14:1-6. Forty-one people made the decision to start a new life with God.  On Sunday, even though the ladies held the service and provided the music, they had Wade preach on Proverbs 31 giving a tribute to the women.
One young couple, Anel and Jeneane, had their baby, Adell, dedicated.

Boat Trip

We all decided that it was time for a day trip somewhere where none of us had been before - not even Marc and Lisa.  So we found someone who could take us on a boat trip to the big island off the coast of mainland Haiti.  We drove to Meregoane at 5:30 a.m. where we boarded a  'Pirates of the Caribbean' style boat for what was an 8 hour ride (round trip) to a village on the island.  We had our lunch of peanut butter and jam sandwiches, boiled eggs and mangos in the church/school of the village, and then were taken to a beach where we had a swim before the boat picked us up to bring us back.  We arrived back to Haiti Arise at 8:30 p.m.  Quite an adventure!

Work Continues...

 

Teams have been busy painting the Technical School.

The roof of the Medical Clinic has just been thatched to provide shade in the waiting and pharmacy areas.

Paint, Paint and more Paint!

These teams that are here now are painting the outside of the Technical School.  Here is Alex painting on the second storey ledge!  He's conquering his fear of heights!

Two New Teams
