Building a wall

I've preached on Ephesians 2 where Christ tears down the walls, but this week I find myself *building* a wall.  At the entrance to the Methodist compound at Gebeau, containing an orphanage, clinic, TB clinic, and administrative offices is a gate but no wall.  Other Methodist churches from Michigan have completed significant portions of the wall around the compound, but this stretch remains unfinished.  Today we got maybe a quarter of it done, with about 10 Haitian workers building the walls while we did the "schlepping" (as John Smith describes it) -- hauling tons of cinderblock, sacks of cement, and mortar.

Throughout, grateful for the amazing talents of my team members and the amazing generosity of all those who helped bring us here and provide the computers and medicines we brought!
