Medical Center Building Update

Wow, it is so awesome to see this building going up.  Last November at our AWAKENHAITI celebration event, we shared a bit of our vision for the medical facility knowing it would begin this year.  But to see it actually happening right now is amazing. 
God has pressed this vision on our hearts we trust him to provide all that is needed.  From the funds for the building, we trust Him.  For equipment needed to help patients, we trust Him.  For Staff needed to evaluate patients and run the program, we trust Him.  For medication needed to treat patients, we trust Him.  For wisdom, discernment, and patience, we trust Him. 
God asks us to trust without seeing and now we can see because we've trusted.  What a blessing to be part of!  What a blessing to now see God provide and take care of his people through medical & dental care and through all the jobs that will be created in this building so that parents can provide for their families! 
We are thankful and we continue to press on in this vision and we continue to put our trust in Him!

July Team (Manor) / New Bunkhouse Update

Welcome Team Manor to Haiti!  This team is made up of mostly high school students along with five adult leaders who come from Manor Church in Lancaster, PA.  We are excited to see all that God is going to do as they serve in Canaan and Delmas.  The majority of the week they will work on constructing the Primary Care Medical & Dental Clinic as well as hold clinic and some kids’ programs.  This is sure to be a great week with many “firsts”, as the majority of the team has never traveled to Haiti before.

The Manor team will be the first group to occupy our newly constructed bunkhouse.  After many helping hands and a bit of paint, the bunk house is ready to host its first guests.  All the men will stay out in the bunkhouse, while the women will stay on the first floor in the guesthouse.

 On Monday, August 6th Kimberlee Peifer will join our team in Haiti, being a permanent resident in the bunkhouse.


We ask for prayers over the Manor team as we see God work in and through the students and leaders who are here to serve.  We also ask for prayers for Kim as she makes final preparations to join our team.
