Up on the rooftop!
WE ARE HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE LA LIMYE NOW HAS A ROOF!!!! Technically it is only the ceiling of the first floor but it will be used as a roof until the second floor is made! GOD IS GOOD!
We cannot say thank-you enough and we cannot send praises enough to our amazing King Jesus for bringing us this far. My faith has been strengthened by the love and support of you all who have made this vision come true. I would say we are at the half way mark. It is half way livable! May God's name be glorified each step of the way as we continue to try and shine HIS light into the country of Haiti.
Now I know you all are wondering... what is next?!
We have to plaster the walls with cement. (smooth out the cinder blocks and fill in the rebar holes)
needed: 2 loads of white sand at $125.00usd each
300 bags of cement at $8.50usd each
We are in communication with a water well drilling ministry and looking at a dual system so that the children's home as well as the community can have access to clean water. This company will charge around $8,000.00 to drill. We will then purchase a 11,000kw generator for around $8,000. Plus around 12 solar panels, a few inverters and batteries and we will have electricity for a few hours a day. The electricity is mainly used to pump up the water into the cisterns each day.
It will cost $6,816.00 per year to run the generator for four hours each day.
We would love to throw in some toilets for $100.00 each, maybe a sink or two for $200.00 each, a propane stove is $350.00 and the propane fridge is the beautiful amount of $1,750.00!!
We also have the great news that our own 501c3 Non-Profit ministries paperwork is being worked on! It will take a few months for the IRS to look it over and process it, but we are greatful that the process has begun.
Hebrews 11:9-10 " By faith Abraham made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Issac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God".
May God put peace in the souls that will join us in this home. Wherever they are, worried, hungry, or even homeless, I want them to know the doors will be open soon, and you are welcome to come. My house is your house.
