Building...

   “ We’re on our way again. For the build teams, this is our 7^th time heading down to Haiti. We’ve built a school, we’ve built homes and we are now building a wall. Most importantly we are building relationships. When we arrive this year, it will be to hugs from those we now call friends. I believe, more than anything else we do, we bring hope and God’s love to a people that struggle daily, in many ways, just to survive. God has blessed us with the opportunity to bless others.

                We leave on Tues, the 10^th. We fly from Toronto to the Dominican, staying overnight in Puerto Plata Village. Wed the 11^th, we start our journey into Haiti with a 3 hour drive to the border followed by a 20 minute flight over the mountains to Pignon. Another 20 minute drive and we’ll be at LaeJeune which will be our home until we leave Haiti on the 20^th and then head home from the Domincan on the 21st. The project this year is the continuation of the wall we started last year, which surrounds a property gifted to the AEM in Haiti. Ultimately, this property will house a home for displaced seniors, maybe a school and most likely rooms for visitors to the region.

                Please be praying for the team, our journey, our safety there and that we can be a rich blessing to the people we serve.

                The team this year includes; Brian Ogilvie and Colin Chandler from Highview, Michelle Schuit, Geoff and Sandra Moon from Trinity and Tim Huggins, Patrick and Naomi Lapierre from Grandview Baptist. And of course our leader and friend, Marilyn McIlroy from World Partners.”
