Church in this part of Haiti is different than what we are used to at Grace Lutheran PSL.
Their Sunday runs much of the day with food and celebration. Right now, when people are enjoying the body of Christ, they must travel to a tree blind to use the bathroom. Not to mention when out-of-towners visit this church there is nowhere close to use the facilities.
This is a photo of the Main Church we work with in Haiti and where the bathroom will be.
As you can see from the photos this church is a humble building. But it is a beacon of love and service in its community. On a typical sunday they will have around 100 poeple in attendance.
Pastor Bruno Lexene (pictured) works with Habitat for children ministries to serve his community.
This is the same community the “Girls” came from.
Most of the people who live in this community do not have bathrooms themselves. Many of their homes are on our project list at HFCM to build a kitchen and bathroom.

You can tell its a pastors house becasue its set up as the community hangout. 10 Min walk to the church
Yes they worship 90 to 100 people a week here.

Fun Announcement !
Hey, you wanna join us for a night of cheap thrills and spills?
We're heading to the St Luice Mets Game, where everything is practically a steal.
10 bucks to get in, a buck for drinks, a buck for popcorn, and 2 bucks for dogs. That's less than a movie ticket, and way more fun.
We'll be sitting in the shade up high behind home plate, 3rd base line, where we can see all the action and heckle the players.
Don't miss this chance to have a blast all together!
Photos of King Tut Exhibit - Tons of Fun
We Visited the King Tut Exhibit on April 30th
April 30 - Grace Tons of Fun gathering - visit to the Elliot Museum - King Tut exhibit.
We had about 22 people signed up, but a couple of conflicts came up. Another couple joined us at last minute in addition.
We gathered at the museum and met Barbara, the docent assigned to lead our tour. The King Tut exhibit includes replicas of actual artifacts. It was mentioned that the exhibit had been on tour decades earlier. Some of our Grace group mentioned that they may have seen this exhibit years earlier, some as far back as 40 years ago.
The docent provided lots of background on the period and artifacts. I believe we learned a lot and several of us came away with some areas of additional self research.
As the King Tut tour was winding down some of the Grace group started visiting other parts of the museum. Eventually others joined them. The car collection and display area was a hit. It has a car jukebox like display system that brings individual cars down from the collection for front and center viewing.
Shortly after that, 9 of us decide to break for lunch at the tiki cafe which is just outside the museum. I think we were all surprised how good the food was.
The weather cleared as we were eating and we decided to take a short stroll across the beach parking area to take a look at the Seaside Cafe and the Stuart beach.
Shortly after that we decided to say good bye. It was nice that we had some blue sky and beautiful view of the ocean as a bonus on our outing.
Above are a few photos from the visit.

ELLIOTT MUSEUM ADDRESS
825 NE Ocean Boulevard
Stuart, FL 34996
“As my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold – everywhere the glint of gold…when Lord Carnarvon, unable to stand the suspense any longer, inquired anxiously, ‘Can you see anything?’ it was all I could do to get out the words, ‘Yes, wonderful things.’” – Howard Carter
The Elliott Museum will open our doors on January 3, 2024, to a wonderous scene in much the same fashion as Howard Carter did on November 26, 1922, 100 years ago. In collaboration with Tarek Ragab and the Egyptian Art Center in Cairo, we will be hosting “In Celebration of King Tut” in the museum’s main gallery.
We intend to do all we can to transform our modern museum space into an ancient tomb of unimaginable beauty. These remarkable objects have been painstakingly recreated by historians and artists in Egypt using locally sourced, authentic materials and scaled and finished to perfection. The impact of standing amidst these objects will be something you will long remember. We were fortunate to secure the exhibit for a five-month run which will afford everyone a January to May window opportunity to take it all in.
ALL EXHIBITS ARE INCLUDED WITH REGULAR ADMISSIONS

Information about my travels
On Tuesday, March 19th, Missionary Flights International carried 4 passengers, including myself from the United States to Haiti. As there is so much turmoil in Haiti at this time, the flight experienced turbulence for the entire 4 and half hour trip giving us a preview of what was to come. We landed safely in Cap Haitien to clear through customs and then continued our journey to our final destination in Pignon, Haiti. Unfortunately, people here are starving. I am grateful to MFI because I had an opportunity to bring in some ramen noodles, dry milk, peanut butter and medical supplies for 100 people but it's just not enough. The people all over Haiti are struggling because of the violence in Port au Prince. It has blocked aid and everyday necessities from getting to small villages because there is no gas to travel. Staple products such as rice, beans and oil are too expensive to buy when they are available so families are going without.
Habitat For Children Ministries is about 3 and half hours from the capital of Port au Prince but we are feeling the effects through the widespread hunger. We know that we can't feed everyone but the more help that we can get, the better the people of Haiti will be. I have been talking with people in the United States for future food shipments but the Haitian families need help now. We at Habitat want to continue our efforts in helping as much as we can for as long as needed because we know of the political hardships that continuously affect this country.

Habitat for Children On the News
Great news report on what is happening in Haiti
Great article about What we are doing in Haiti
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. —
As so many people scrambled to leave Haiti, a Port St. Lucie man fought to get himself back in.
Meschac St Amour is a native Haitian who now lives on the Treasure Coast.
He is the president of a Port St. Lucie organization called Habitat for Children Ministries, which serves children in Haiti.
Port St Lucie nonprofit struggling to get supplies to children in Haiti
St Amour was able to get a missionary flight to Haiti on Tuesday, expecting the worst when he landed.
He said he still wasn’t prepared for what he found.
“It’s much worse than what I was thinking,” he said.
St Amour brought with him supplies for the country, including 1,500 pounds of food.
He is carefully giving it away where it’s most needed, though he had planned to share it with everyone.
“It can’t work like that. That’s what we were hoping,” St Amour said. “But it can’t work like that. Because right now, you’re going to start something you can’t finish.”
St Amour said his village is far away from the Haitian capital of Port au Prince.
That’s where the majority of the violence has been over the last several weeks.
St Amour said there’s no violence where he is, but they are still suffering.
“A shortage of food, gas,” he said. “Anything you can think of to feed a family.”
St Amour said most people are unable to find medicine or medical care.
These shortages are why he left the Treasure Coast to return to Haiti.
He said he wants to help however he can until Haiti can once again recover.
“Haiti is not going to die,” he said. “There’s some that are going to believe in it, and some that are not going to believe. But I believe one day, Haiti is going to come back.”
St Amour is asking those who want to help to do so through his organization’s website.
Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras February 13th
Fun times before Lent
Join us for Fat Tuesday. February 13th
Food and Music from 6-8PM
We are serving Pancakes with all the toppings and bacon!
Seating will be outside under string lights with live music.
Our hope is that we would sit with good company and make new friends while growing closer together.
Here is the History of the Fat Tuesday
Mardi Gras refers to events of the Carnival celebration, beginning on or after the Christian feasts of the Epiphany (Three Kings Day) and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday, which is known as Shrove Tuesday. Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday", reflecting the practice of the last night of eating rich, fatty foods before the ritual Lenten sacrifices and fasting of the Lenten season.
Related popular practices are associated with Shrovetide celebrations before the fasting and religious obligations associated with the penitential season of Lent. In countries such as the United Kingdom, Mardi Gras is more usually known as Pancake Day or (traditionally) Shrove Tuesday, derived from the word shrive, meaning "to administer the sacrament of confession to; to absolve".[3]
