Pasco Blessing

It has been a lot longer on getting a new blog posted than I thought, but it has been a busy couple of weeks. We have had a team of 31 people here since Nov. 19, they headed back to the states today and have truly blessed us. The group came from Pasco , Washington and was led by Dwight and Vonda Ropp and ranged in age from 14- 72. There were numerous family group combinations which made it interesting in figuring out who went with who. The group's church gave Canaan the money to complete the small boys dorm and the school library. Besides pouring many yards of concrete the dorm roof measures 18 X 68, they worked on plumbing, electrical, door entry sets, painted lines on the basketball/volleyball court, made a ping pong table, played with the kids, and had Thanksgiving with us. We hope to finish up some of the details it takes to get started on the Clinic soon , we will see an engineer on Tuesday and see if he will sign off on our plans. We also have to get a building permit, we hope construction will be under way by the first of the year. Anyway may God bless the Pasco team for all they have done for Canaan. steve

Well I'm back in Haiti after a 3 month absence, I had to get up at 4:00 am this morning to catch a 6:00 flight. That was just one of three that it took to get here in one day,I actually arrived in Port au Prince at 3:40.You could see lots of water still left by the hurricanes that flooded much of Haiti this summer as we flew over some of the hardest hit areas. We drove up the coast and could see another area called Cabere where 60 people lost their lives because of flood waters. In our town of Montrouis the big story is the only bridge across the river is severly damaged, so you have to use a make shift bridge out close to where the river opens into the ocean. We have a large team of 32 people coming right before Thanksgiving to pour a concrete. I think that is the largest group we have ever had ,not sure where they will all sleep yet. I hope to try and post many blogs while I'm here and tonight is sort of a test as we are still fine tuning thebog into the web site. Hopefully in several days I can add pictures once I get some taken. It's been a long day so that' all for now. In God's love , steve
