The projects included:

• Building a house for one of the Haitians who works closely with our missionaries.
• Replacing termite eaten door frames in the hospital and clinic.
• Installing a roof top water tank so a resident doctor can have running water in his second floor apartment.
• Installing an exhaust fan in a kitchen ceiling.
• Repairing broken window screens.
• Building a screen door for a newly updated apartment.
• Configuring a new computer and assisting with the transition to an updated financial accounting system for the hospital and mission station.
• Assisting the nurses with their daily responsibilities.
• Providing financial assistance to:
  • Hire day workers for jobs on the mission station.
  • Supplement school teacher salaries.
  • Fund small enterprise developments.
  • Support other needed activities.

Person-to-person interaction that defies adequate description:

• Playing with children at the orphanage in town.
• Visiting Madam Chou in her house on the saline as she cares for “cast offs” – an elderly man and a young child – in addition to her own 4 children.
• Preaching to a full church in a seaside village.
• Hearing the vision of the missionaries and recognizing the challenges they face.

Participants returned with a greater appreciation for those who serve on foreign fields, an increased awareness of the pressing needs, a sense of satisfaction from being able to meet real needs for hurting people, and a sharpened realization that God chooses to accomplish His work through us in ministering to His children.
