Happy Mother's Day today to all our Mom friends in Haiti! We so appreciate all you do, not only for your children, but for Haitian society as a whole. We love you and honor you today for your hard work and sacrifice. We pray you will see, hear, and follow the Lord's guidance in raising your children and the generations to come. The kids in Sunday school this morning received a basket of candy to give to their moms. We have holes to dig, roads to repair, and land to level. This backhoe will make all the difference! Please donate toward the $10,000 needed to make it ours! [Our "big machines" expert, Todd Buckley (pictured above with Lex), has verified that this machine is in good conditi

We recently put a deposit down on a back hoe! With all the construction we do in Haiti a back hoe is an essential piece of equipment - especially when it can cost more to rent one than to just purchase one. We are in need of $10,000 to purchase it. Once we have it we will let you know what the cost will be to ship it to Haiti. If you would
Come on Down! If any of you have talked with Pastor Lex and Renee during one of their visits to the US, you will know that they always invite you or others to "come on down!" Now, other than all the reasons you can think of NOT to come. Think of all the reasons of how you COULD come. Well today I'll be sharing with what you can expect when you come to Haiti for a week with us. To start off we charge $500/week (not including airfare.
