Homes for Haiti Missions Trip 2011: On March 26 - April 3, 2011, a team of 12 men from Niceville UMC led by our Executive Pastor, Rev. Greg McKinnon, worked alongside Haitians to build two homes to provide shelter after the devastating January 2010 earthquake. Click here for additional photo gallery.

3/31 Team Update: Sending photos has been difficult due to slow internet, but the team is making great progress: "We are pouring headers today on the first house, will put trusses up tomorrow and hopefully have the roof on by Saturday. The second house will probably not get a roof while we are here, but we have all the trusses built." Keep praying for good health, safety and relationships during the week. Check back later for a photo gallery.
