Haiti short-term mission trip: May 8th – May 15th
Lamentin/Carrefour
For those of you who haven’t been following this blog or receiving my e-mail updates for the past few months (since the earthquake), Grace International is one of the Haitian organizations that we partner with in Haiti. The Grace International compound, which includes a school, church, girls orphanage and hospital, is located in Lamentin, which is just outside of Port au Prince. The Grace International people also run a boys home in Carrefour (which is beside another church they’ve planted). Members of Branch Creek Community Church, the church in PA which this short term trip was run through, have been supporting the boys in this Carrefour orphanage for many many years. As I mentioned in my previous post, a little more than one third of our team stayed in Lamentin and Carrefour to do some construction projects and a vacation Bible school type program there. Unfortunately, there are a lot of details that I don’t know about yet regarding the specifics of these projects. Someone on this team, however, did show me a video of a wall being pushed over so I know for sure, if nothing else, that they at least did some destruction.
