Wow, I just read my emails - and I am so excited for the village of Belloc and so excited about how sovereign God is. First, I read the information from Rachel about Crossings giving approx $2000 for the community project I'd just a couple hours before presented in an email; then minutes later another email comes through from our friends at World Wide Village committing to another $2000!
I have the pleasure of getting to drive up to Belloc tomorrow and give them the great news that the men of 30 families will be employed for 2 months! God is so awesome I just can't stand it! I'm going to purchase a bunch of sledge hammers and hacksaws (to cut the rebar) and wheelbarrows today so I can take it to them to help get things started off right (most of the hammers they had the other day had sticks for handles and their 1 wheel barrow was literally falling apart).
Bondye bon tout tan!!
(God is good all the time!!)
Keep praying,
Brian
By the way, we had only given out approximate numbers, but let me give the exact numbers in case anyone is still thinking this is coincidence, rather than God.
The exact price of the project as written on the crumbled yellow paper that the men presented to me is $29,568 Haitian dollars. At today's exchange rate that is $4,224 in US dollars. The amount of checks from the Crossings Church and World Wide Village...ready for this...was $4,253. That gives me an extra $29 to put towards hammers. God is so cool.

Dear Brian, I hope I will have the pleasure of meeting you and Rachel in the near future. Every time I log on and read what you are doing I am so encouraged and moved. I pray I too will have the chance to serve in some small way in Haiti. Press on. Keep the faith. God is who he says he is and you are being used in a beautiful way.

The first post I read this morning gave me goose bumps & this update blows me away. God is so good to provide just what is needed at the exact moment it is needed! Thank you for your tireless work for the people of Haiti!
