The next steps in Haiti for G.O. are to come more intentionally around the 7 Haitian pastors that we work with there. Our plan is to build a multipurpose building in each of these 7 communities that would serve as the church, nutrition center, school, medical clinic and dormatory. The second phase of this effort will involve partnering with other organizations in Haiti to help with contextually appropriate economic development through various cottage industries and sustainable agricultural projects, all in Jesus' name. From these infrastructural centers we will further come alongside the work of the indigenous pastors as they lift up the communities they serve spiritually and materially. That's the long-term vision.
