You know we (AFH) bought land in Haiti to build on. Michael and I need a permanent place to live in Haiti, and God has provided us land in the area where we have been living the past two years. We have been serving with other missions, but that opportunity has been filled and it is time to move to a place of our own.
This is the west end of the land. On the right side, you can see the retaining wall Michael built.
The progress so far consists of a driveway, a 380 ft. well, and the foundation for and shipment of the perimeter fence. A spot has been cleared for the first building, and rock for cement work stands in great white piles.
This is looking out the driveway to the road. The entire front of the property is solid vegetation and trees except here where we cleared it.
The first water from the well.
Michael has been working alone a lot of the time, and is grateful for the few young men who have volunteered their time and energy to help for a couple of weeks. He also has one Haitian who lives on the land and helps him all the time. Wilmon has been working for Michael for the past 3 years and has proven himself a faithful worker and friend.
The plans for the first building are being finalized, and it is time to start buying and shipping things down. We would like this first building to be a 16′x32′ concrete block building with a flat concrete roof. We plan to have a toilet, shower, laundry area, living room/kitchen, two small bedrooms, and a depot.
Please pray with us that God would guide and bless the construction, and that He would provide the funds for it. We can’t do this without your prayers and support. If you feel led to help with a tax-free donation, please send it to:

Thank you for your interest in our lives and work for God in Haiti. We are just normal people, and often feel inadequate and helpless as we face the events and challenges of daily life. Sometimes I wonder how God can clear a road through the impossibilities that block the way; but every time He has proved faithful in making a way so we can go where He wants us to go. He has done miracles, I’ve seen them, but most of the time He uses people like you who have willing hearts to do as He asks. And for that, I thank you. May God bless you and work out His way through your own particular impossibility.
I know this sounds pretty newsletter-ish, but I have to let you all know about it. I’m not able to be in Haiti right now, so I am looking at things from a distance. As far as I can see, I will not be able to return to Haiti to live till there is a building on this land. Right now, there are no other doors open. So I am trying to improve my time here in the States with studying, and I certainly am enjoying being with my family! But I also pray that God will speed the progress on the building so I can go back again.
