Special guests, neighbors and friends of the Snyders arrived from Pennsylvania. It was the first trip for five of them and it was a couple of days before they adjusted to temperatures and different eating habits. The Snyder kids were excited by having the neighbor kids here and they spent a lot of time catching up with each other’s activities. Christina Miles will be going to Africa this August to live with a family that was a part of the Gothenburg Church in Sweden and are now serving God there.
We also had the pleasure of working with eight guys who had come to Pierre Payen on a work team from Cedarville University in Ohio. They were a bundle of energy and blessed us and the Haitians. They completed the screens, painted and built a roof over the stairs to the basement apartments of the guest house.
One of the most exciting events on the compound was the completion of the solar panels. Eighteen have been installed and are now all hooked up. The team work that it took to lift these heavy solar panels manually to a height of 20 feet and then put in the proper place was quite impressive. They are providing power to the guest house, discipleship center, dorm and our house! With the cost of fuel and generators in Haiti and the abundance of sunshine, it looks like these will pay for themselves within a year.
Psalm 117 – Praise the Lord, all you nations. Exalt him all you peoples. For great is his love for us and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord.
