Metivier: Before and After the Hamburg Teams

For the last 2 weeks, Sarah, Rachael, and I have hosted two consecutive teams from Hamburg, New York. 

The first team spent 2 days in Metivier, cleaning up the classrooms and school yard.

The second team came to do construction.

Here's what the school looked like before and after the Hamburg Wesleyan teams...

The 2nd team with all of the school children
The Hamburg teams boosted the morale of the school in just a matter of two weeks. Working side by side with many Haitians from the community, the team members not only made an impact on the school itself, but on each person they came in contact with. It was great to see each of their hearts be touched by complete strangers, too. Well done, Hamburg. I pray that God continues to use each of you in wonderful ways. Don't forget the things He showed you in Haiti and the people He introduced you to. May those things and those people be a story you share with others, a story that leads to God's glory. Thanks for all your hard work. You are missed dearly.
