Haiti Happenings

Dear Friends,

The government has not yet lifted the travel ✈️  ban implemented due to Covid 19 😷.  We are not rushing travel that is not deemed safe. When the ban is finally lifted, work teams have committed to build a couple planned houses. We are hoping that can still happen in October or November. Please pray for the situation to improve allowing these desperately needed homes to be built.  

In the mean time CFM has continued to send funds to aid families attending our churches with food and sanitization products to help them thru the added difficulties brought on by the economic effects of Covid. As previously mentioned, food and supply prices have soared while avail work for income has slowed to a crawl. The continued devaluation of the Haitian currency is making it even harder for them to survive on the minimal income some are able to find. A search on the internet showed the currency exchange rate reached an all time high in August at 112 gourdes to $1 USD compared to the recent average of 70-$1, already considered high.

Our Pastor Occius is still recovering from his prior hospitalization for Covid. Please Continue to pray for his full recovery. 🙏

We have maintained our teachers in the hopes of our schools re-opening. We are actively discussing what changes might be necessary to provide a safe environment for the children to learn. The picture below shows a teacher signing our roster for her pay.
