Friday Little Bits: Hope for Haiti Update

Hope for Haiti is a campaign to raise $35,000 for the first building for the House of Abraham orphanage in Jacmel, Haiti.  The lease on HoA's current property expires in mid-November of this year.  They own a walled property ready for their first permanent home in a multi-phased project that will ultimately allow them to expand their ministry to orphaned children and raise up young men and women of integrity to be the future leaders of Haiti.

Progress

Construction of the Security Wall

 

Construction Update from Dusty Cooper of IsleGo Missions:

The work on the foundation at the new property starts (today) or Saturday. The river was so swollen from Isaac that they couldn't get across with materials until (Wednesday).

Financial Update:

We are now over 21% of the way to our goal of fully funding HoA's first building, which would house the 13 children and house parents from HoA's current location.

4theVoiceless Update:

We have been given the opportunity for several of our people to join a team from another church on a trip to Jacmel to be a part of building HoA's first building.  I am grateful for this opportunity.  Though I don't think of myself as much of a construction guy, I can't wait to be a part of this team.
