Beautiful services with tremendous choir's and preaching. Amazingly we completed the roof project for the church in Haiti. It hadn’t rained in weeks which allowed us to work non-stop. We had just installed the center vents on the top ridge and were headed down an outside ladder when it began to rain. We just stood out in the rain laughing and having a good time. God’s timing is always perfect. The men from Florence Baptist were key once again. They welded 1,250lb trusses and placed them...

Tiffany gets baptized Album Our Church took services to the beautiful shores of Puerta Plata a few weeks ago. It was a very special day for our family because I got to baptize our daughter Tiffany, along the Malecón. We also added to the Church through baptism Rickideni, Andrea (we had asked for prayer for her in February) and Antonio. All the ladies brought food and the kids had fun playing together afterwards. Tiffany accepted Christ a year ago. We have...

We are anticipating the arrival of our last construction group from Florence, S.C. in Haiti this month. We are going to weld and mount large metal trusses on 24 foot concrete columns. Please be in prayer for everyone’s safety. Hope orphanage has loaned us all kind of tools including a power trowel. This really helped us with the church floor. In addition to this hurdle we have also completed the septic system,...

It takes about 7 hours for our team to drive from Santiago, D.R. into Port au Prince, Haiti, cross the border and get to work. The roads are tough and the border officials are tougher; yet God has abundantly blessed us with grace and health. Once on the ground, we work at a feverish pace, anywhere from 6 - 12 days, only to return, catch up with our ministries, re-supply and repeat it all over again. Neither Pastor Dial, myself, nor our team, ever imagined we would be...
