"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."

Matthew 5:3-6

Vision to Reality


The first school building has been officially finished. The Haitians did a beautiful job constructing the school to make their vision become reality. The following was in an email from our main contact for the project:

FYI, Denis tells me that the Haitian government Ministries of Public Works and National Education have taken a keen interest in this building, and have visited several times and taken several photos (with Denis' permission) so that they can use this building as a demonstration project for all other NGOs in Haiti, showing what standards and codes to which future buildings should now be constructed. This is a huge endorsement and high praise from the Haitian government for the construction of this building in accordance with eMi's plans. He continues to tell me that eMi's work is well recognized and highly respected within architectural and engineering circles in the Haitian civil service. One can't ask for higher praise for your ministry.
We're all very excited to see the remaining phases of the school, church and health clinic take shape. It gives me great hope for Haiti to see the rebuilding process take place. And it all couldn't happen without Christ and his amazing love and power.

Here are some links to photos and stories:
