    Looks wonderful!  A great deal of work has been done since my wife and I left on Jan. 24, 08.  Great pictures.  I climbed the tower for pictures also.  We are very excited for the progress and are very anxious to get back there in Jan. 09'  God Bless you all.  Fritz & Carolyn Beck

    I can't believe the progress, the buildings are tremendous and look great.  From just being a vacant lot enclosed by a wall to what you have accomplished now is phenomenal.  Keep up the great work guys!!!

Concrete Pour

Well the second floor pour had a bit of a slow start with a torrential downpour the morning of, but the Lord blessed the crew with good weather this last week and work was done. The second floor is now poured and ready for when more housing is needed.  The library has windows and the adminstration building has the entrance complete. It is once again time to stand and marvel at God's provision. The finances, the safety of the Haitian workers and the arrival of the MFM teams when the manpower is needed. Please remember to pray for the seminary staff now as they are busy working through the applicants for the next school year and getting this school year complete and graduation plans.  Our anniversary plans are in final preparation stages, please pray for the travels of all who will be attendingk, and the Lord will be glorified for ALL He has done in Haiti in the last 50 years.

PTL The containers have been released

It has been a busy month with teams from Canada and Greenwood, and the crew featured in the latest photos, Ohio, and Canada. West coasters at that. We rarely get visitors from back home in BC. I am thankful for Garry's and Grant's help in getting these pictures to post. I am not good at climbling towers, not to say anything about dress code, and skirts. We had sent out several prayer requests for customs to release the containers and Praise the Lord, they have arrived. We now have door frames, 2X4's and sheet metal for roofing, and all the other things we were waiting on.
We have another team this month, from Canada, and then in May a few more, plus our 50th Anniversary Celebration, of OMS in Haiti! Exciting stuff, stay tuned for more postings and blogs. Please dont hesitate to send pictures of your team, so I can post them up too. yrjanahaiti@hotmail.com

Another Sunny Friday in HAITI

Another sunny day in Haiti and we have been blessed to have more construction pictures of the seminary. It amazes me each week to see the progress and I know many of the visitors marvel at what has been accomplished thus far, and for that we give God the Glory. I am thankful that Jake was willing to climb the tower today so I didn't have to. He climbed higher than usual, so these are rare shots of the seminary and the neighborhood, front gate etc. Look for the picture of Neil working away... a MFM'er this week, and the tractor that looks like a toy because of the height.... Thanks Jake and thanks to all that have been part of the teams that so willingly come and give of their time and their talents.

What a difference!

It is exciting to see what God can do in 2 weeks in Haiti with willing hands and hearts. We have had the Glabe team from the US and then a heap of Canadians, from Ontario, Wellington Construction, and the Stan Ball group and a group from the Rocky Mountain Bible College in Alberta Canada, the list is endless of those to thank. We could not do it without all of you, construction of a project this size would not be possible without the many MFM teams adn those behind the scenes raising funds, and planning the teams and the delivery of materials. The fields behind the buildings are beautiful and are just sporting a tiny shade of green as the grass comes up. The roof on the Admin Building was completed and now it is being plastered. The library has a roof. The dining hall has been started with block and the trusses have already been made. The chapel is waiting on trusses and the little house is waiting on the container but inside walls are being done. The women's dorm PTL has block and and the inside walls are coming up. The students at Emmaus are working hard in their studies and we hear weekly of the work God is doing in the hearts and the lives of these young men and women. Please pray for Dr. Bill, and for Matt and Stacy and for Mary Lou as they pour into the lives of these young people.

What's Up at the Seminary!

It is exciting to see the changes and the amazing progress being done at the seminary. MFM teams from the US and Canada have been going full tilt along with Gord Wallace and Dan Shoemaker. One month after the last update and you can see such a big change. In the pictures you will see… Administration building...the trusses in place, and the nationals are busy plastering the gable ends. Men’s Dorm….they have installed the floor supports to make ready for the pouring of the floor for the second floor. After they pour the floor they will be ready to start laying block again. Dining Hall….is waiting on block, please pray that the company we use will be back up in operation and can supply the block we need…In Haiti repairs on machinery take time, and the block making machine was in parts late last week. Women’s Dorm…..they are working on finishing the exterior walls, Chapel….has walls YEAH! Library…is ready for trusses….the Glade team from Illinois is re- building the truss supports, as angle iron is difficult to get down here, so they have redesigned the supports to use flat iron and the team this week, is manufacturing the needed truss parts…PTL Missionary House…working on finishing the interior walls Landscaping…Gord has been busy making a beautiful job of the grounds and pruning the many trees.
