It is hard to believe it is time for our spring trip to Haiti. We are looking forward to getting back on the ground and sharing the love of Jesus with the children and precious people of the country we love.
We will be leaving next week for a 6 day trip. The first few days will be out in the countryside meeting with the children at 2 schools. We are blessed to have an abundant supply of items to take in for distributions. We are so grateful to all who have been sewing throughout the year and keeping our shelves full.
The remainder of the days we will work at the headquarters of our partner missionaries. We will serve alongside them doing office work, odd jobs and cutting down the “to do” list so they can focus on ministry.
We are also planning on helping with the distribution of several goats. Thanks to many of you, several children in Haiti will be taking a goat home from school in the next week. Pastor Noel in Arnoux has a goal for every student in his school to own a goat. The goats are an excellent way for the children to learn responsibility and contribute to the family income. This program is not part of Haiti Care Mission, but we are very happy to support it and bring it to your attention. If you are interested in purchasing a goat for a child in Haiti, we would love to help you. The goats cost $35 each.
Last week, we had the privilege of introducing this program to the families at Venice Christian school. During the next month, the children at VCS will collect “Coins from kids for kids” to sponsor goats. At Fun Fest this weekend, we set up a display with live goats and the school principal even offered to kiss a goat for every $20 donation. Thanks to his adventurous antics, there will be many new goat owners next week.
Please keep us in prayer over the next month. With the large array of things happening in the ministry, we need wisdom, direction and favor.
Praises
· Praise the Lord for partners who faithfully give to this ministry.
· Praise God for allowing us the opportunity to share Haiti Care with 2 churches this month.
