Haiti December 8, 2011: Day 6

We started the day with building one house at a location near the trash revene where we preciously built a house. This location was covered in animal feces and trash, but we knew that God had His hand on us and would help us to build the house. The owner of the home, worked along side of us and many local men also stopped buy to help. This was the fastest house we built; we completed the house in 2 hours and 45 mins. As we were finishing up the netting and working on the door, we began to sing. As we started to sing `Tell That Mountain to Move Away`the local people who could speak Spanish began to translate the song into creole and the song began to minister to them. There are many mountains that need to me moved in Haiti but if at least one person has the faith the size of a mustard seed, God will move the mountains. As we prayed with the family we were ecstatic that we had just completed house number six.

After we completed the home, we took a tour of Port-au-Prince. What we saw was devestaion and potential. There were so many people living in tents. The Presidental Palace, also known as the `White House`, once a well known landmark in the world was crumbled. Across the street were rows and rows of tents, too many to count. I can`t imagine what life was like before the earthquake, but I know that in Christ, life after the eartquake can and will be paradise. After touring the various areas of the city, many of the team members felt more of an urge to pray for the people of Haiti. Please continue to keep Haiti in your prayers, they need the light of God to make it through.
