Grace Point Church Global Development - Haiti

While in Haiti in early February, Norma's daughter Sherry interviewed me regarding the earthquake which had happened just 3 weeks prior. In the hectic pace of things following the earthquake, I had totally forgotten about the interview until browsing the Joy House website a couple of weeks ago. After watching the video, I realized it captured not only my thoughts and feelings related to the disaster, but also one of the many aftershocks. The video can be viewed at: http://joyhousephotos.shutterfly.com/318

Thanks to all who have given toward building transitional homes. To date, enough funds have been received to build 11 structures. If you have been thinking about giving toward this cause and have not yet done so, I encourage you to make a donation as soon as possible. We will continue building these homes every time a team goes to Haiti and we have funds available. Joe will be returning home from Haiti this weekend and we will get an update on the progress made this past week. The goal was to build the remaining 9 homes.

For anyone interested in going with our team from Grace Point this summer, the deadline to register is tomorrow, Sunday April 25th. I will be in the lobby following all 3 services to collect your completed and signed covenant along with your $200 deposit.
