We are rapidly moving through an eventful week and will find our work finished here before we know it! Today brought the wonderful news that the prayers of God's saints had been answered when David Heady was discharged from a hospital in Port-Au-Prince. He is tired & trying to regain his strength, but was well enough to join our team for a delicious dinner that featured traditional Haitian cuisine eaten at times of celebration. This was very appropriate tonight with David and Judy back on the G.O. compound to join us for a brief time of sharing with them.
We made tremendous progress painting the church today and fully expect to be finished by the time we wrap up our workday late tomorrow afternoon. To offer a little perspective, this building is made of cinder block and poured concrete (which really absorbs paint!) and is 178 feet long, 63 feet wide and about 30 feet high at the apex of the roof line. It is only by God's grace that we are this far along... He has enabled our team to work steadily and efficiently and we are amazed at what has been accomplished! We give Him the praise for assembling such a wonderful team of friends who are truly brothers & sisters in the Lord working alongside Him in the work that He is doing in this part of Port-Au-Prince!
We've had hot, steamy weather the last two days and a little rain early tonight during our evening devotional time after dinner. We're all doing well... no one has fallen ill (which seemed to amaze the missionary nurse this morning!) and we are having a good time serving the Lord and deepening our friendships with each other. Thank you for the many, many prayers that are being raised on our behalf!!! I can promise you that they truly DO make a difference!
We will try to get some pictures posted sometime tomorrow... we've had some challenges with the Internet - it's a satellite based system here and isn't terribly reliable at times due to atmospheric conditions, but... it is better than nothing at all.
May each of you have a wonderful, blessed Thursday!!!
In His service,
Jim
