Pastor Luc has a small church in the mountain community of Tetebef - about a 4 hour walk from H2H's compound in Grande Goave. This is a special church for us as it is the original church that was planted when Pastor Luc was a still a junior pastor. The church building was destroyed in the earthquake in 2010. A foundation was built a few years ago along with a temporary church for them to hold services. That temporary church was blown over during Hurricane Matthew and the road to Tetebef is still impassible by motorcycle.
Here is the church building BEFORE the hurricane - I don't have an after picture but I've been told that nothing is left but the foundation. We are estimating that it will take $4,000 US to rebuild the church. If you know of a church or group that would be interested in sponsoring this church please share this information with them.
Some of the community leaders brought donkeys down to H2H this week to get Mannapaks to share with the people who live around the church.
The immediate need for the people of Tetebef is food as they relied heavily on their gardens for their food and most gardens have been completely destroyed. In addition to giving the people Mannapaks we are looking at ways to help them rebuild their gardens and restock their livestock, as many have also lost their goats, cows & chickens.
