Dear Friends and Family,
We want to thank you all for your prayers and support of us and the Lord's ministry.
Soon after we got back to Haiti we began to prepare for our next work team which arrived on July 8th. It was a group of 12 Full Gospel Community Church in Warsaw NY. They worked very hard on our New Life Church in Croix des Mission and accomplished much despite the 100 plus degree temperatures. We thank the Lord for their service to His kingdom.
The past twelve days have been tough for Margaret and I. Margaret had a relapse with her back and has been in bed all day except for short intervals where she walks around the house with the help of a walker. On top of this, our missionary chiropractor has left for a month vacation. Yet, God is helping us. He sent a visiting chiropractor just a couple of days ago who gave her one treatment. Also, a missionary friend has loaned us a portable traction table which we are using daily to decompress Margaret's back. With this and prayer she is improving. Believe together with us for Margaret's complete healing. Pray as well for me, as I have a lot of aches and pains in my legs and knees.
We have been working on making repairs and improvements on our home and Bible School building. We thank the Lord for our engineer (construction manager) who comes to supervise all our construction teams.
Besides, our church reconstruction. We are in the process of rebuilding one of our pastors homes. We hope he will be able to move in within a couple of weeks.
Pray for the many Haitians who are still living in tents and make shift homes. It has been raining almost every night and hurricane season is fast approaching. Pray that God gives the Haitian government and international community wisdom in rebuilding this nation. We know that God is on the throne and He will do great and mighty things for this nation.
Yours in Christ,
Roger & Margaret Clark

Home
We are glad to be back home in Haiti. It has been a good 25 years. Wow!
We came back. Hoping to see some improvements, but sadly there is very little change. The Haitian and international governments seems to be doing very little. If it wasn't for the non-profit organisations and mission groups and all those who have been coming for almost six months now, things would be much worse. There is still rubble everywhere, no large housing projects to get people out of the tent cities, and very little construction. Those who are building are doing it without permits because the government is still unwilling to give any permits. In some cases they are stopping people from re-building their homes and businesses.
We have a team coming from Warsaw, New York to help us continue building the mother church of our mission (New Life Church of Croix des Mission) that is pastored by Jeanty Osnac. We know that they will be a blessing. Also, in the near future we will begin to re-build two other churches in our mission.
After they leave, we will continue to re-build peoples homes. We have already re-built two complete homes and helped others repair their homes.
Pray that God gives us wisdom and strength. We thank all those who have been praying for us and giving towards us and the Haitian people. We will not be dismayed because our help and hope are in the Lord.
