haiti.teamWe spent the day at the Wesleyan Church/School again. They received a huge circus type tent and they asked our Daybreak team to set it up. After 2 hours of mapping everything out and putting the corner posts in we asked the Haitian Church members to help us drive stakes, tie ropes to secure everything and finally put the two tall center poles in place. There were high fives and hugs everywhere under the big top after it finally rose to the sky! The 25 person tent raising team picture shows the love and new family relationship we now share with each other. We are so lucky to have experienced this today! The church and school now have again a spot to worship and a shady and dry place to have school. Our prayers were answered today when God helped us raise this tent. Hopefully Sunday we can join them too for Sunday service and party with them! 95 and sunny again today. A lot of water and iced Cokes are survival liquids this week 
Thanks for the great comments everyday we love them. Sorry no picture to attach today since our house has no electric all week and my BlackBerry died. Maybe I will sleep better tonight last night a little black goat was baa baa. baa ing all night under my window…God bless our family and friends!

What great stories. Reading them has allowed us to share in your experiences…..thanks! I know that working siode-by-side with the Haitian Church members must have been an incredibale feeling. I can’t wait to see the pictures and hear the stories. You guys are in our prayers daily. Have a great Sunday church service (maybe under a big tent) and a safe flight home. Cher, I love you and can’t wait to see you!!
Hi everyone,
I bet you really appreciate the tent today. It is 70 degrees here and I bet that will feel cold next to the 95 degrees. It is so wonderful that you have helped in so many ways. Isn’t it amazing tha a simple game like duck duck goose can bring such joy to the kids. Have you played Red Rover? I don’t know if Jon ever played that, but I’m sure some of the others have. Red rover red rover send Jon right over.
Thinking of you all, Jenny Reibel
Wow! You guys are SO amazing! Guess what mom?! I won my game! I smacked one over short stop’s head!!! AND I smacked one in between 2&3! I hit one every single time I got up! Can’t wait until you come home mama!
Love,
Jader

It has been great to see these updates. I’ve been praying for you guys daily! Great news that the tent is up!
What a great day. I can picture it all. Thank you for all the hard work. As I was praying for you this morning I read from Isaiah 58:10
Feed the hungry, help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as day.
You are stars!
