St. Kitts.... the need

The Corps Building - currently housing all Corps activities and the school during the week.

The CO's quarters (the small flat roofed section). Kitchen is used for cooking for the school, however the cabinets and counter have severe wood rot.  Quarters would also benefit from interior painting

Our "fixer-upper" and the main project.  A combination wood, cement, block building that once renovated will house the classrooms for the school and free the church to be used for other purposes.  Significant, plumbing, electrical work, tiling of the floors, replacing the roof, painting of all surfaces is required

Mission #31 - St Kitts

A very quick update to let everyone know that we have been requested to assist the Salvation Army on the island of St. Kitts during the winter of 2019. 

Joel is currently down doing a fact finding trip, and we trust he will have lots of information to share at our Team Information Meeting on Sunday October 14, 2018 to be held at 60 Scarsdale Rd, North York, ON. 

If you would like any additional information, you can email me at: laurie_mcarthur@hotmail.com

Mission #30 - has begun! Linden, Guyana

After months of planning, our 30th mission trip has begun.  Last evening our initial team of 21 left on an overnight flight to Guyana.  At this time, 21 sleep deprived people should be on their way to Linden to discover what their accommodation will be like after a surprise cancellation by our original Inn (reversing a writtencontract).  I'm sure by this evening, the team members will be happy for somewhere flat to lay down and rest up for an exciting first day at the worksite tomorrow.

Please continue to pray for the teams ability to refine the accommodation to meet their needs for the next three weeks, for the termites to decide that the building we are working on tastes completely awful for the next 30 years, for delivery of materials on time and on budget, an ongoing spirit of joy among the team members amidst long work days, and for everyones health and safety.

Wifi access may not be as available as in past years, so updates may be periodic - but we will take any opportunities to update this site as often as possible.
