We were invited by Pastor Rwosvelt Chery to visit Campion, in the sugar cane fields between Vaudreuil and Milot. Elisabeth has been there before when Joshua was an infant.
This is an especially undeveloped area. The church is in a native shelter, and they do not have any buildings for a school or clinic. Pastor has found a church in the US, CrossPointe Church of Alabama, whose mission efforts are coordinated by Mike Nevin, to start to help them. They have built a small building for storage of supplies, dug a well, started a school, and made over 100 concrete "Fossa Alterna" latrines in the area. They have a nurse coming weekly to do clinic, but no medication sponsorship--the Network has given some soap in the past and will supply medications as well in the future.
Our family was graciously blessed by the Pastor in Sunday services, especially for our son with the powerful biblical name, Joshua David!
We are encouraged with some progress being made in Campion.
