It’s been an embarrassingly long time since we’ve posted, and it has nothing to do with a lack of happenings! In fact, quite the contrary. Despite the setbacks that Covid has brought to the world this year, the Collège Lumière school project in Haiti has taken giant steps forward, thanks in large part to the determination and perseverance of Pastor Samuel and his team, our ministry volunteers stateside, and the generosity of Mariners Church and others! For ease of reading, this recap is broken into bite-size sections in a “toggle” format. Just click on a section to read it.
