"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." Col. 3:17
Well, I am finally updating my blog. It has been awhile I guess, so here it goes...
Work on the temporary property for Adoration Christian Center and the church has begun. Last Monday we had about 20 secondary students and parents show up and help level the land a little. They spent the day moving a tonne of soil, filling in the foundation where the "lean-to" is going for the school.
The work team showed up on Wednesday, and they began their work right away designing and planning the layout of everything.
Right away thursday morning they begun putting up a beam attached to the existing property walls that the roof will be run off of.
We are waiting for a loader or a back-hoe so we can level off the land, before we can move forward with the front wall and the roof. We have been waiting for a few days now for the machine, which everyday it is promised it will show up the next day....and so we keep patiently waiting.
The picture above is Fort Jacques. It was drastically damaged by the earthquake, both inside and out. One of the cannons is laying a piece down the hill, and here pictured is inside, where a lot of walls have fallen. We went and toured Port-au-Prince on Saturday afternoon, and had a chance to go up the mountain and visit Fort Jacques and do some bartering at different souvenir stands.
This is a picture of the offices been built for the church and school. Hopefully on Monday we can put on the roof and start putting on plywood, and pour the concrete floor.

Here is John and Max fastening the posts to the wall.
Today we had a beautiful worship in Messeiller (Cabarre) with the Prebyterian Church there.
Please pray for our team as they continue their work, and please pray that we can get a machine in to level the property so that we can move forward with the classrooms. We give thanks to God for the safety and health we have had, and for the work that could have got done so far, for our times in worship, and for fun and nice times of fellowship. Randy
