Waking at 5:30 this morning, our fearless group left the comfort of Stafford Crossing Community Church and embarked on the 81-mile journey that would take us to Midlothian, Va.; home of the Clover Hill Assembly of God.
Field Notes: Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and the Presbyterian PC (USA) General Assemblies
I've been travelling a bit during the past two weeks to spread the word about The Fuller Center at two church gatherings. First, Dianne Fuller and I went to the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship General Assembly in Charlotte and then up north to Minneapolis for the Presbyterian PC (USA) General Assembly.
So work really took off today on the new and improved Growing Hope for Haiti Site!
Gerson and Heather rented a backhoe and Matt, a member of the volunteer team they have here working this week, drove it to clear a path around the four corners of what will be a home. He also cleared a spot for the latrine bases we framed up yesterday.
While Matt was driving and clearing, the rest of the gang used machetes to knock down an area of baby sugar cane plants. The terrain is very rough the way it is, because of the way they farm. The field is pretty much a massive spread of little mounds with plants growing on them.
