Perched high above the brackish waters of Lakes Azuei and Enriquillo and adjacent to the mountaintops of Haiti’s Central Plateau, Granbwa must be one of the most isolated settlements in the Caribbean. With no road from the Haitian side, Granbwa can really only be reliably accessed from the Domincan Republic. When the CRC of Haiti approached Zach about a church construction project he was understandably concerned. But the CRC of Haiti insisted and SONBEAM International and Lakeside CRC jumped at the chance to partner with local volunteers to realize the construction of a new church building. The logistics of the project soon unraveled, and donkeys, horses, and people were enlisted to haul building materials and water from the Dominican Republic and the deep ravines surrounding the church. During one trip to Granbwa, Pastor Eli, one of the foreman working on the project, fell off a motorcycle in rough terrain and hurt his leg. Despite nearly giving up several times, the leadership and volunteers of the CRC of Haiti and the Granbwa church finally completed the project. Humans, however, can’t take credit. Success was nothing short of a God-given miracle. Thanks for your prayers.

Both terrible (in its isolation) and beautiful, the view from the Granbwa Church knows few equals. Pastor Eli and local volunteers prepare to pour the roof.
