On April 28th, twelve folks will embark on Forest Hills next
mission trip to Haiti. The purpose of
this trip will be to work to accomplish our vision to glorify God by making
disciples who Know Christ, Grow in Christ, and Go for Christ. We will do this by working with Mission of
Hope (MOH) to help bring church advancement, education, orphan care, nutrition, and
disaster relief to the people of Haiti, specifically by assisting each of these
programs construction needs. We will also spend purposeful time as a team sharing,
asking questions, and learning to grow in our faith and in our relationship
with God.
The work that God is
doing through MOH is having a huge impact on Haiti. On this trip we will interact with children,
adults, orphans, churchgoers, and missionaries.
MOH has a Church, School, Orphanage, Hospital, mobile medical clinics,
several villages under construction, and a nutrition program that feed around
60,000 meals a day to poverty stricken children.
In late April or early
May, MOH will open a new warehouse. This structure will give them the opportunity to
more than double the amount of kids that they are able to currently feed.
When our team was at
MOH last November, we had the opportunity to install a roof on this warehouse.
While we worked, we had the opportunity to teach several Haitian temporary laborers
how to install roofs. This resulted in them getting full time employment at
the end of the week. They can use our
help again to help put some of the finishing touches on the warehouse.
We would love your involvement. We are going to be collecting new tools to
take with us to donate to MOH. Painting
supplies are really hard to come by in Haiti, so brushes, rollers and roller
naps would be helpful. We also would
love for you to be praying for us, as our team develops, and prepares to
go. Lastly, we will need to raise
financial support. The trip cost will be
$1600 per person, and every gift will help.
All trip deposits and
donations can be made out to Forest Hill Church, and place Haiti 4/28 in the
subject line.
