Come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.  Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him. - Psalm 95:1-2                           

We continue to move closer to opening the clinics!  The pictures show work done to fill in and level some low lying areas as well as preparation for the driveways inside the property.  All of the major construction is done and we are just finishing up the final details.    Please be praying as we continue to assemble the staff.  We are working toward the licensing process with the Department of Health in Haiti.  As you can imagine, all of these processes can be trying but we are so excited because we know that we are so close now!  We are hopeful that we will have the Medical Clinic running by the end of October at the latest.  The Eye Center should open soon after that.  Please just pray for us as we come down this final stretch.  We have purposefully not set any hard deadlines as this just leads to stress most of the time as we don't have control anyway.  We are just waiting on God's timing!  Pray for Spirit-filled, servant-minded people to join our Haitian team.  Pray that God will continue to show us creative ways to reach out to our new neighbors as we do our best to share His love!  Waiting on God, Fearless to Move, Trusting His Provision!                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Team leaves on Friday

I am always filled with competing emotions as we begin one of these trips. Uncertainty as we are not exactly sure how things will be fleshed out but excited because God has never failed to show Himself as we surrender our control to His leading.

"Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think." Ephesians 3:20

I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. - John 14:27

These pictures are from a trip this past weekend. We will be bringing a group of 24 in a week from Chattanooga for mobile medical clinic work through churches in northern Haiti. It is exciting to see how things have come along. We are just thankful to be a part of what God is doing in this piece of the world. Please continue to pray for this work as we lean into what God is bringing our way! Waiting on God, Fearless to Move, Trusting His Provision!

Julmice read Matthew 6:3-4 - But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.

We are SO CLOSE!!! If you have ever been a part of any construction effort, you know that it is the finishing up that can try you the most. The work that has been done by Julmice is AMAZING! He has been working NON-STOP for almost 2 years. I told him that when we finish we are going to take a long, deserved vacation. Please continue to pray for him as he deals with people to contract out work and to finish up on the final details. Lord, please help him to feel your presence and purpose for his life and that he will know that it is through Your strength that all will be accomplished. Amen!

We have had different people on site the past couple of weeks working in the guesthouse and medical clinic. Luckson will be there soon with others to work on the Eye Center and Lord Willing, we will bring a medical team in the last week in May to stay at the guesthouse. Please be praying for these things! Also, continue to prat for Christ-centered, Spirit-filled people to be brought to us to be a part of the team: nurses, grounds/building (Assistant for Julmice), housecleaners, etc.

Check out the pictures of some of the latest work!

Julmice read Psalm 19:1-2 - The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known.

We continue to make progress in the construction phase. For anyone who has been involved in building a house or remodeling, you know the final details can take awhile to finish up. We are moving right along as all structural work is complete and we finish up plaster work, outside tiling and paint. Please continue to pray for us as we work towards completion. We are thankful for how God has provided and are humbled to think about what He has planned for this work in the community.

Please be praying as we begin to look for more people to add to the team on the ground: cooks, housekeeping, security, groundskeepers, etc. Please pray that God will bring Spirit-filled, servant-minded leaders to us for these positions. Pray for the community as we begin to meet more and more of our neighbors. We hope to finish the final work of furnishing and preparing the clinics in the coming months. We are just trusting God through this process which is not always easy as we sometimes want to push and pull and "make things happen". We know that God knows the timing and are confident in His leading!

Last, continue to pray and consider how you might help us financially with ongoing donations. We have put down roots in this commmunity and hope to help many physically, emotionally and spiritually for a long time, God willing. To do this, we need everyone's help. Check out your donation options on our website and make a decision today to invest in this work with us! You will be making a difference in the lives of those who need our help!

Julmice read Isaiah 53:5-6 - But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.

These words from Isaiah are a comfort as we remember that although we all have "followed our own paths" at one time or another, God made a way for us through Christ to be healed, made whole and set free from our sin. This Easter season gives us the opportunity to be thankful and remember this truth.

The past couple of weeks have been very busy and hectic as our team works to complete the guesthouse. Also, the containers were delivered to the property this week which was a big hurdle cleared as we prepare for a small group to arrive next week to begin going through all of the equipment and furniture for the guesthouse and clinics. Please continue to pray for us as we come towards the end of the construction phase and begin to enter the process of preparing the clinics to be opened in the coming months. We also hope to host our first group the last week in May but we have a ways to go so please keep us in your prayers.

Pray for Julmice and the workers as they continue to labor day in and day out. Pray for their hearts that they will be drawn closer to God as we continue to work together through all of this.

Julmice read 1 Timothy 4:4-5 - Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks. For we know it is made acceptable by the word of God and prayer.

Thankful for everything that God is doing! The containers have arrived in port in Cap as of Saturday. We are now working on the process of getting them out of port. Please be praying with us that this will go smoothly. Julmice continues to do an amazing job in overseeing all of the work. From the pictures, you can see that the guesthouse construction is moving right along. Please continue to pray for Spirit-filled, servant-minded leaders to join our team on the ground in Haiti. Pray for the community that they will see Him through us.

EEWSHM Praying and Building 2/24/16

Julmice read Philippians 1:11 - May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God.

As the verse reminds us, any righteous character we might have is only produced by Jesus which then brings glory and praise to God. I am so thankful for those like Julmice and Luckson who because of their life in Christ are a blessing to me. God is so good to bring along those He has purposed for His work in Haiti. We continue to see God at work throughout this process. The packing of the containers and the transportation to Savannah for loading on the ship has all progressed on schedule. The ship is to leave for Cap tomorrow and arrive no later than March 6th. Please continue to pray as we will then begin the process of getting the containers out of port once they arrive.

Also be praying continuously that God will bring Spirit-filled, servant-minded leaders to our team on the ground in Haiti. Pray as we begin to form relationships with our new Haitian neighbors in the neighborhoods around the clinics.

Julmice read Acts 1:8 - But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

We are pushing towards the end of construction. The guys are working hard on the guesthouse to have it completed in the next month or so.

Here are some things for which you can be interceding in prayer with us: 1. The process of getting equipment packed in a shipping container to head to Cap Haitien hopefully the first week in March.

  1. That entire process as we will then work to get the containers out of port and to our property for unloading.

  2. We continue to identify Spirit-filled, servant-minded people to join our staff.

  3. The people in the community that we might be an influence on them for Christ.

  4. Preparation for the grand opening - details, timing, involvement of community and city leaders, etc

We are so excited about how God has been at work. In the scripture reference above, we are just humbled to be His witnesses telling people about Him in this part of the world that we have been called to. We cannot wait to see what He has in store for the community and how He will show up.

Waiting on God, Fearless to Move, Trusting His Provision!
