Mary Jo and I are currently at The Bowery in NYC helping cook and work on the kitchen as it is being outfitted with a lot of new equipment that was graciously donated! We are also working on this year's Thanksgiving Outreach where The Bowery will prepare and serve around 5,000 meals! Please keep all of this in your prayers!
Now on to Haiti! First of all we'd like to thank all of you for your continued prayer as the details have been worked through for the Haiti Home Construction project. We appreciate your patience as through much prayer and divine appointments, a plan has been conceived and things are ready to move forward.
Below is a copy of the email that Barb Lataillade sent out to us today, please read it carefully:
Update on construction project for Haiti:
At present there are 12 houses (2 room village houses) that need to be built. We are looking for willing helping hands to come bless the ones whose homes were damaged or destroyed. The cost per house is $5,000. All materials will be purchased in Haiti. The houses will be cement blocks and tin roof.
We would appreciate it if your team could raise the funds for a house.
If your church is interested to help, but cannot send a team, let us know. There are those who would like to come, but cannot afford it.
We regret this is short notice, but Patrick is in Haiti now, and has just received the "blue-print" and the cost of materials.
Requirements:
1)Teams of 4-6
2) Each team must have some experienced masons. (if you don't have any, let us know, God will provide the right people!)
3) $5000 for a house (the money is needed a couple weeks before your arrival, so the materials are on site and ready for you
4) We would love this project to start in September.
5) The other expense for the team is: plane tickets, $80 per person ($40 per night) for a guest house, (first night in Port au Prince and last night before departure), and $200 for meals for a team of 6 per week.
6) Bring your own snacks, toiletries, and towel.
Waiting to hear from you
God bless you
Patrick and Barb Lataillade
Teams will stay in one of the safe, Calvary Chapel church compounds where they will be well taken care of! If you have any interest in helping with the cost of this project, please contact us at Relief Ministries. If you have teams or people who would like to travel to Haiti, do the same. Maybe you can't get all or any of the money, or all or any of the people, but if we all work together, we can form both prayer and financially supported teams that can make a difference in Haiti. Remember, Patrick and Barb are long time Haitian missionaries and have planted 5 churches in the areas where these homes will be built and we have a long standing relationship with them. This project will help open doors for God to work in lives with plenty of opportunity for the local Christian body to follow up with salvation and discipleship!
Thanks for all your prayers and support.
Proclaiming the Lord in all we do,
In season and out of season.
Lord Bless,
