PROGRESS REPORT ON BOY'S DORM BATH ADDITION!

Yesterday, Ken Drowley and 7 boys from EGO dug the footings for the new bathroom addition that will be attached to the back of their existing dormitory. The 12' x 24' addition will have 2 to 3 showers, 2 to 3 toliets, sinks with cabinets and lots of storage. I am so proud of the progress being made at the orphanage since Ken & Marla Drowley have come alongside Don & Doris Peavey to continue this mission project that began in 1967. With Don & Doris's guidence and gentle assurances of keeping the right perspective about the ulitimate goal of introducing each child to Jesus Christ at an early age, to nourish and water that relationship throughout their adolesence, so that when they leave EGO in their early adulthood, they will carry on the traditions and teachings of their Christian faith. This is why I continue to go to Haiti. Because I see what is good and right in this faith based work of caring for orphans and raising them in the admonition of God and knowing that each person who comes in contact with EGO understands that our salvation is by grace alone, provided by God in His Son Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins! And lastly, when each of die and stand before our Creator God, He will welcome us as sons and daughters who will live with Him in eternity forever! This is why we go! Thanks be to Jesus, who died for us!

Our Beginning in 1980

Steve and Sheila Scheib first visited Haiti in 1980 as part of a construction and medical work team. After several more trips, we were asked to fill in for missionaries, Don and Doris Peavey, while they went on furlough. So, in March of 1988 we returned with our 3 children for a one year commitment at the Ebenezer Glenn Orphange in Marchand Dessalines. The time was a mixed blessing, in that physically the time was exhausting; not enough hours in the day to get everything done that needed to be done; but spiritually, our faith was stretched in ways that only other missionaries could relate to. Growth was obtained through the trials that God allowed to come our way. Our faith grew and our sense of security was in the Savour of the World who had called us to Haiti. When the Peaveys returned the following year, we returned to the states in April of 1989. We have continued over the years to return to Haiti as often as possible.
