Haiti Mission Trip

From July 31 through August 8, we have an opportunity to travel to Haiti on a humanitarian mission. Our team of volunteers will help to reduce the suffering of Haitian children by build transitional homes for over 50 orphans who were left homeless by the quake.

Haiti is the most densely populated nation in the western hemisphere. Plagued by disease and malnutrition more than three quarters of the population live in extreme poverty.

On January 12, 2010 a 7.0 magnitude earth quake struck the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince. Over 250,000 died and hundreds of thousands homeless. The earth quake is a tremendous blow to this poor nation, from which it will take years to recover.

While God has opened the door for us to develop a greater heart of compassion for this suffering nation, you can share in this endeavor with us by, praying for our mission and following our blog.
