And the walls came tumbling down.........

Well this is not a Bible lesson on what happened to Jericho, but there are lots of walls coming down in Haiti. In March (I believe) the Mayor went around and marked on some walls letting the owners know that they needed to move their wall back however many meters was painted on their walls. Now this is great because the purpose is to widen the roads and pave them, and there is a lot of work for the Haitians. Good news, however, it also raises a lot of concern because the point of the walls is for security reasons. If you take down your wall before building another one you are exposed! Now some people are building the new wall first and then knocking down the old wall, but their are others (like the ones on our street) who are just knocking down the old wall to reuse the rocks for their new wall. So, as you can see there is a lot going on here!

Paint on the wall telling how much the wall needs to move back

Getting things in place to mix the cement and start building!



Here the workers first broke down the old wall using sledge hammers and now using the rocks to build the new wall

The Chapel wall is one of those walls that need to be moved back. I do not remember how long the wall is, but trust me it is super long! To move the wall back 2 meters is going to cost $38,000.00!! That is a ton of money that they do not have right now. If the wall does not get done then the Mayor will come and bulldozer it down! Please pray that they will get the money they need.

We are ended our second week here in Haiti! We brought Karl and Ann to the airport on Tuesday, and they have arrived in the states safe and sound. Luke is working hard preparing for church on Sunday and I am gearing up to teach this coming week!

This is Luke working really hard on his sermon for Sunday :)
