The photographs do not tell the whole story. The balcony of the sanctuary crumbled into the bottom section of the building. There is not much left but rubble. The need to remove the rubble and prepare the church site for re-construction is great and completing the job will take a while. A supporting church inaugurated a unique ministry which will allow us to employ the men of the church to prepare the site for re-construction and pay them a salary of $8 per day to earn money to feed their families. It is being called the "Nehemiah Project." (The legal minimun wage in Haiti as of February 2008 is $2.02 / DAY!) Now these men have a means by which they may provide for their families as well as have a meaningful way to pass their time of grief and hurt. There is a sense of purpose among them. They are working fervently. When most people around are bleak and desolate....they have HOPE ! Their God is meeting their needs as they in turn meet the needs of God's people. God is good even when things are bad!
