Upate from Sherrie Fausey on the work in Haiti

Hello from Haiti:

Our yard is a very busy place. Everywhere you look in our yard there is someone building or doing some kind of work. Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!!! Many thanks to all the wonderful people who have donated to help us recover from the earthquake. Many thanks to those of you who prayed for us. Every day the situation here improves in some way. Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!!!

Jared and the orphanage boys built another stairway and are working on a shower for the cooks. Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve has a crew getting ready to pour concrete over 2 rooms on the second floor. He has another crewputting stucco on the downstairs. Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve will be leaving for a few weeks, then we hope he will come back again.

Jared will be in charge of construction with Steve out of the country. Jared and Amanda are raising support to come as full time missionaries. We really need them here. People can donate to them at Christian Light Foundation. Write " for Jared Kostreva" in the memo on the check.

We had 3 teachers here to teach English and Bible studies to the orphanage children this week. They all had a wonderful time. Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!!!

A pair of mechanics looked at our old truck and put it back together. Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!!! One big problem was missing bolts to hold it together.
Please pray for our new truck. We have picked one out but the government is making paperwork very difficult. We cannot get the truck until it has a license plate. Please pray for the paperwork to be done.

Dr. Karen brought a medical team and worked with a medical team from Rainbow Baptist Church. They saw about 250 to 300 people each day. About 22 people accepted Jesus. Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!!!

The team did a clinic at the Church on the Roof. The ravine walls are so steep that many houses fell on the house below or are a danger to the house below. Pastor Cenor asked for prayer for another place for the church - on flat land.

The team brought our very official looking Christian Light vests and caps. Wearing a vest or badge can open many doors to get help such as free rice for the school. They are very impressive!! Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Karen did a minor surgery on my foot removing a plantar wart so I will be sitting down a lot for a while. I am so thankful to be able to get it done here. She is always so willing to help no matter how tired she is. Praise the LORD!!!!!!!!!!!

God bless you,
Sherrie
