Greetings in the name of Jesus!

During July, the Lord opened doors for us to speak in 19 Churches. We drove over 7,000 miles and we shared news about Missions in Haiti with a lot of new friends. The Lord knew all about the tremendous financial need that Missions in Haiti faced and the needs were met! Praise the Lord! We were able to pay the $15,000.00 balance due on the land and $10,000.00 for construction of the wall around the property as well as $3,250.00 for the next six months rent on our present facility! We serve a big God and he is meeting every need. We praise the Lord for his faithfulness and we want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all of you who contributed to this effort.

On August 4^th, I arrived back in Haiti and my first priority was to help get Morning Star School ready for the first day of classes on August 16^th. Morning Star is the ACE School that I have worked in the past five years. Again this year, I am the Assistant Principal. We have 180 children from pre-K through the 12^th grade. We really need 200 students, so we are praying that another 20 students will join us this month.

My second priority was overseeing construction of the wall. The wall consists of approximately 10,000 cement blocks, which had to be moved to the jobsite and assembled into the wall. Construction of the wall was completed during the last week of August. Finishing this project was a huge relief. The property is now secured and we won’t have to be as concerned about squatters moving onto and claiming ownership of the land.

Alicia has been busy getting the items that the children here at House of Compassion as well as all the children in our school sponsorship program needed in order to start to school. This year Missions in Haiti is sponsoring over 300 Haitian children and this sponsorship will allow these children to attend Haitian Christian Schools. Your contributions to this sponsorship program are definitely making a big difference in a lot of young lives! After the monumental task of fitting 300 children with a uniform and making certain they have all the proper books and supplies, Alicia is glad August is over! The children are thrilled to be able to go to school.

In Haiti, there is an old saying, “there is always room for one more.” When you see the way Haitians pile into and onto public transportation, you suddenly understand where this saying may have started! It looks like we have adopted this theory for House of Compassion. I keep telling Alicia that we are FULL and not to take any more children until the new facility is built. But, from time to time a special situation arises that we just can’t say no to. In August we accepted another child into House of Compassion. Her name is Alexandra Mascary, she is seven years old. Alexandra is an orphan and there just wasn’t anywhere else she could have gone.

Now that Alicia and I have tended to the things that needed immediate attention, we are focusing on getting the new House of Compassion built. We are in the process of having plans drawn and we are getting the soil tested in order to determine what type of foundation we will need. As soon as the Lord provides the funds, we want to be ready to move full-speed ahead. Any undesignated funds that come in to Missions in Haiti will go to the building fund. We are excited and anxious to get started on this building project. When the new House of Compassion is completed, our children will have lots of room to run and play, something that they don’t have at our present location. We planted fruit trees on the property so that our kids will have a supply of fresh fruit. Please pray with us about this need, we know our Lord is able to provide and we are putting our trust in him.

Thank you for all your prayers for Haiti. As a result of all the prayers, the crime rate has noticeably declined and people are feeling a little more secure. Presidential elections are coming up in December and most Haitians are putting their hope in what the new president will be able to do for them. Pray that God will put the man that he wants in office and that Haiti will be taken back from satan.

Thank you again for your faithful support and for all your prayers. We love and appreciate you.
