March Update

The roof is poured and curing!

Wednesday, March 19, Philip and Timothy Rudolph went to Haiti to help Michael finish the framing, pour concrete in the block walls, wire the house for electricity, and pour the roof.

On Thursday and Friday, they were able to complete all they needed to finish in order to pour the roof on Saturday. The Lord blessed their efforts, the weather was beautiful, and everything else went well!

Below are some pictures and details of Saturday, “Concrete Pouring Day”.

 Approximately 60 Haitian men helped fill buckets and carry concrete up the ramp to the roof.

A lot of rebar in this roof for earthquake protection!  Several friends from other missions in Haiti helped with this project.

A big thank you to everyone who gave so generously of their time, energy and funding.  May the Lord bless you.  Continue to pray for Aid for Haiti as we continue to do the work we have been called to do.  There is still much more work to do.  We are grateful for your continued support and interest.

Please pray specifically for Michael’s healing as he lost some skin on his arms due to working with so much concrete.

 

The Roof is Done!

roofThe roof is poured!  They got going at 6 this morning, and were finished with the 15 yards of concrete by noon.  A big thank you to all the volunteers from the States and other missions in Haiti.  The Haitian crew was indispensable as well, and my dad said it was great to see 60 men work together as a team.   Thank you to each one who prayed for them and this project.  God has been so good to us, and all the glory goes to Him!

I may be able to post more pictures after my dad returns, unless they were too busy to take any others!

 

The Roof in the Morning… Please Pray

Good morning everyone!  I hope you have as beautiful a spring morning as we do here in TN!

I want you to let you all know that tomorrow is the big day for pouring the roof of the house in Haiti.  Daddy and Timothy went down to Haiti on Wednesday to join Michael and two other men already there.  My brother-in-law Jacob went down a week ago and helped get the forming done.  The crew finished the re-bar, put in the wiring, and finished pouring the walls yesterday.  Today they are finishing up the last few things and tomorrow they plan to pour the roof!  Please pray with us for a safe and successful job.  Please pray for clouds without rain, so the concrete does not dry too quickly.  Please pray for God’s glory to be shown in the lives of those gathered together for the job.

Thank you for your support in prayer and your interest in the work.  God bless you today!
