It has been another very eventful month for us at Haiti Care Mission and
we are ready for more. Interestingly, the month started with a trip to Haiti
and is ending with the packing for a trip to Haiti. We are so grateful for these opportunities
and, although it can be very chaotic and crazy, we would not change it one bit
of this mission-filled life.
The first event of the
month was a short work trip. Lance and
Lemuel, a fine young man from our church, traveled to Haiti during the first
week of the month on a trip with a two prong purpose. The first purpose was to update and rewire a
school/church compound in Arnoux. The
second purpose was to transport items into Haiti for our March trip. It is very helpful for us to have an extra
opportunity to get more items into the country in order to increase the number
of “tools” that we can use during our trip.
With all of that said,
I am happy to report that their trip was successful on both fronts. They were able to complete all of the
electrical work, which included moving wires from a tree, which was the current
electrical pole, to the building/generator shack. They also ran wire to the new team building
on the compound. In addition, they
transported over 400 items into the country.
We thank God for the protection over them while they worked and for
guiding them to complete all of the tasks before them.
The next major event of
this month was the opening of a new shipping avenue for HCM. Through a partnership with a Haitian pastor,
we were able ship over 600 items and a much needed portable generator into
Haiti in sea container. This new
partnership will provide us with another great way to serve the children of
Haiti. We are confident that God will
take these items much farther than we could possibly do on our own. We are so grateful for this new
opportunities. We have been praying for
ways to serve more children and to reach further corners of Haiti so this is
the answer to this prayer.
The final event we have
been working on this month is the
preparations for our trip in March. We
will be leaving this week for our annual spring trip. We are looking forward to visiting five new locations. It is always fun for us
to see more of Haiti as well as meet more of the precious Haitian people. We will traveling for three days to remote
locations in the south. In addition to
the days of traveling, we will be spending several days working in Port au
Prince. Please pray for us next week as
we strive to take full advantage of every opportunity God places in our path.
We are humbled to see
how God is enabling Haiti Care Mission to grow.
Thank you to all of the hard working volunteers who are creating the
items of love. We can only do the work
of sharing the love of Jesus with the children of Haiti with your help. We are also indebted to all of our faithful financial
supporters. You are the backbone of this
mission and you are giving us the ability to serve God’s precious
children. Everyday, we thank God for
each of you. Your sacrificial giving of
time and resources is a blessing to many.

We love to watch the goat distribution project of EWO. The goal is for each child at this school to receive a goat. The goat will provide income for the family and teach responsibility to the child. Let us know if you are interested in sponsoring a goat for $35.
