We returned from Christianville today where we spent the last two days. This is a large facility that contains a church, a school K-12, agricultural nursery, chicken farm, fish hatchery, goats, and cattle. Our visit there was filled from the time we arrived to the time we left. We worked in the agricultural program, tending to avocado seedlings, and prepared mango seeds for planting. Jack and Dan helped get a dump truck started, which was carrying dirt for the nursery. We visited an earth quake ravished structure that was three stories tall. We interacted with a group from West Virginia that constructed the building we stayed at. There were others from Indiana, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
When we returned to the World Relief center we had a briefing on a new church program for Haiti and World Relief called Umoja which was developed in Africa. A 5 step program that empowers a church community to become the church God intended it to be. The program is especially designed to help church communities in impoverished situations.
Tomorrow we are off to work with our church planter and his family.
