I have safely arrived in Gressier Haiti. I am staying at our compound where we've leased a house and built 2 bunk houses. We flew into Port au Prince and the devastation from the earthquake is throughout the city. One house is sandwiched while the building beside it stands firm. The Haitians have moved into tent city's and they go for miles.
Home completely collapsed
Guys on top of rubble trying to scavange for rebarb wire.
Pictured above is Rick from WI, Trinity from CA, Wes from Canada, and myself in the kitchen after lunch. Rick is down for a few weeks to help with the construction of the bunk houses and help out in anyway. Trinity has been acting as the volunteer coordinator here since mid-February! She's doing a great job but is leaving on Tuesday because she's not feeling well. Please pray for her health. Please pray for someone to step into this role long term! Wes is here from anywhere from 2 months to 2 years and he'll help with digging the water wells and any other construction needs. God is awesome at providing workers for His harvest! Please pray for His continued provision of laborers! Let me know if you're interested in sending a team, haititeams@efca.orgThanks for your prayers! It's been a blessing to be here! Keep praying and let me know how I can be praying for you!

So proud of you. Keep up the good work.
Hey Katie, this is Blair from the Trinity Western University team that was down in NO a couple weeks ago. "Wes from Canada" is a TWU alumi! Small world, huh?
