Church in Port au prince Project
We took a two hour drive to Port au Prince today to review an upcoming project scheduled for early January. The church was heavily damaged by the earthquake two years ago and is now ready for removal. Members of the 1500 congregation removed the roof and items worth saving, a building has been designed by donors from the States and the project is ready to begin. Our job will be removing the rubble and possibly doing the preparatory grading. The final structure is 150 feet long by 85 feet deep. It will barely fit on the land provided and it is located down a steep, narrow and windy dead end road. Depending on our scope of involvement we should be there around two weeks. Should be fun!

ReplyDeleteIt makes me sad to think that a house of God where so many fellow believers worshiped was torn down. I can't imagine what the children are thinking right now. I would've been devasted if AG had been destroyed. However, I find it exciting for you to be able to help tear down the rubble and build a foundation on solid rock once more. Hehehe, gives me chills.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, good luck getting that dozer down that road...that's a lot of cars in the way. =)
Wow...1500 people in the church. Is that the normal size of a church in Porta Prince? Or is that considered a large church in the area? Michelle
