Dear Family and Friends,
Our fourth day in Haiti was particularly memorable because
we visited the town of Onaville, which started out as a displaced persons camp
as a result of the devastating earthquake in 2010. This camp is no more than about 20 miles away
from NVM and has an estimated 500,000 people. NVM helped start a church out
there and also recently dug a well to provide discounted water for the people
who live in the area. The whole team got to see the hardships but also the good
work done by the Church.
The various projects continue to progress and the whole team
is laboring hard. But we are very happy to see that they are still having fun,
enjoying each others’ fellowship, and spending quality time with the kids
during recess!
Each night, after evening worship, we have been giving out 2
“Gumby” awards to two members of the team who demonstrated flexibility and servant-ship.
We got these stretch toys and accept nominations from the team and then vote. Even
though everyone is doing so well, it’s a great way to affirm one another and
recognize teammates. Plus it’s a lot of
fun!
