A lot of our supporters are often asking for updates about the projects in which they participate or to which they donate. Below you will find an update about a few recent construction projects that you have supported:
1. Jacquet Land Purchase (see above): Jacquet CRC of Haiti has finally purchased church property in near their rented church building. This is a very expensive area of Port-au-Prince and this little piece of property (about 50'x100') costs $65K plus lawyer fees. Trinity CRC of Goderich, ON, and SON-BEAM International are helping to finance part of the purchase. If all goes according to plan, the construction of the church should start in July of 2012 (first the land must be cleared of the small house and a few other buildings).
2. Generator House/Apartment of the CRC of Haiti:
Since 2011, a number of visiting churches helped us put the finishing touches on the generator house of the CRC of Haiti. One the first level, there is room for two large generators and a wood shop. On the second level, there is an apartment for visiting guests and a home that is rented to Brenord, an employee of the Ministry for Christian Development. Finally, with the help of Fuller Ave. CRC, the Ministry Center wall was "beautified" with a number of tropical plants including palm trees, fruit plants, aloe plants and others. With all the rain lately, the wall is looking pretty nice!
3. Ministry for Christian Development Conference Center: The Ministry for Christian Development completed the first phase of their new office building in 2010. The building houses offices, a small conference room and a small cafeteria. The next phase is the construction of a conference center. This conference center is very important to MCD because its primary ministry is leadership training. The conference center will allow MCD to bring in trainers and beneficiaries for further education at their convenience. In April, the foundation was dug, but subsequent heavy rains have set the project back.
