In 2008, St. Andrew Lutheran Church raised enough funds to build 18 homes at St. Andrew Fishing Village in Les Iroises, Haiti. These simple cinder block homes are being built now; the fishing boats purchased from fund raising in 2007 are in full use; and the goal is to build more homes as well as build a school. Life groups within the congregation have participated in a variety of fund raisers to help raise funds to rebuild the village.
