Team August arrived just one week after Team July departed. Team August came to Haiti primarily to help frame and roof the larger section of the medical & dental facility. They blessed us with their hard work and the encouragement they brought to the Bethanie of Canaan Community. As the walls went up, lives were changed. Haitians were employed. Children were held and loved. A community in need of health care saw hope. Americans began to see broken people through God's eyes. The way He would see them. This awareness is carried back to The United States so that this team can continue the work they did in Haiti in reaching out to others. Going back with the desire to reach out to those in need; co-workers, neighbors, community members. This is one of the goals of AWAKENHAITI; to transform lives both in Haiti and in North America.
In addition to working on the building, a few team members served in the medical clinic held approximately 2-4 times per month. This was a huge blessing for team members to witness the clinic in action and to see the need for a permanent building and for regular care to be offered in the Bethanie Community.
There were three team members who were in Haiti last August to help frame and roof the church & school building. It was special to have them back one year later to attend Sunday morning service at Bethanie Church of Canaan as we challenged the church to join us in praying for the ministry in Canaan, for the medical care coming, and for necessary resources to be provided.
THANK YOU Team August!
