Happy New Year!
Here is some 2015 Haiti News that we would like to share…
1. Grace United Methodist Church of Wyckoff did a first time New Sneaker Collection for the children of Lac’ajue, totaling 85 children! Each pair of sneakers has a name tag associated to it for a specific child. The sneakers will be brought down to Haiti by the St. Paul’s Methodist Church of Brick when they go down with Aslan Youth Ministry the first week of February.
2. Our New Shoe Collection for Danita’s Orphanage in Ounaminthe, Haiti is happening right now. This is our 7th year collecting new black shoes and socks for all 104 children who call Hope for Haiti Children’s Center their home. Many local churches and individuals are taking part this year and we have almost all children sponsored after only 1 week!
3. Education Sponsorship for our 65 school children in Haiti is an on-going endeavor. Without education, a child in Haiti does not have a future. We continue to pray for additional sponsors for 35 of our 65 children from both Lac’ajue and Double Harvest.
4. During the months of March and April we will be doing our Globe Bank Collection to help raise donations for our on-going Nutrition Supplement Program that currently sponsors 31 of 104 of Danita’s children. Our prayer is to one day have all 104 children sponsored with these life-changing whole food supplements.
5. The Grains of Grace Feeding Program enters its 3rd year in Lac’ajue Haiti. The monthly rice and beans, that is supplied to 67 families, has changed lives by providing much needed food for families who otherwise deal with various degrees of starvation throughout the year. Our partnership with Aslan Youth Ministry allows us to get the rice and beans directly to the families each month.
These are just some of the areas of ministry in Haiti that we ask prayer for during 2015. If you would like more information on any of the ministries listed above, please contact us.
We could not do what we do without the Lord’s guidance, our partnerships with various churches and organizations, as well as your prayers and support.
We look forward to seeing what the Lord is going to accomplish this year in Haiti!
Just One Drop,
Pam
