This update is from GCI Caribbean mission director Charles Fleming.
Below are pictures of a house in Haiti being built by member, Serge Jacques. Construction is being supported with money from the GCI Disaster Relief Fund. The house replaces the one Serge lost in the terrible earthquake that devastated Haiti several years ago. He often hosts GCI Bible studies and other gatherings in his home.
Though incomplete (due to difficulty in obtaining building supplies) the house is significantly better than the one it replaces. Our pastor in Haiti, Joseph Franklin, pointed out some of the home’s features, which the Jacques family now enjoy:
The Jacques are now lodged in two bedrooms+living room+porch+unfinished flush toilet. They send their thanks. Once again we are reminded that God’s love opens the way for even tragedies, like earthquakes, to transform the way we live.
Thanks to the generosity of donors to the GCI Disaster Relief Fund following the earthquake in Haiti, we are able to continue providing appropriate support for this and other ongoing GCI relief projects in Haiti. If you would like to help GCI prepare to help others in similar disaster situations, wherever they may occur, your congregation is welcome to send funds to: GCI Disaster Relief Fund, P.O. Box 5005, Glendora, CA 91740.
