Team:
February 2015: ,
A team of 9 people, led by HFL leader Randy Roesler and Pastor Dave Van Roon, traveled back to Mirebalais, Haiti to continue to build relationships in the community. The team worked alongside Haiti Children's Home, as well as engaged in various activities in the community.
- Playground Project: moved and reconstructed playground at new site for Haiti Children’s Home. Also purchased some materials to make repairs to it.
- Spent time with the children and staff at Haiti Children’s Home.
- Took about 500 pounds of donated supplies from Canada to bless and benefit Haiti Children’s Home with.
- Took some of the older children from HCH to a local pool for some fun interaction with the team.
- Purchased 60 cases of mana packs and 15 cases of medical mamba for malnourished familes in the Palto region. Also purchased some additional supplies for 15 families that we visited in that area.
- Wells: Additional project funds that came in from this team were transferred to HCAS to contribute towards the Palto well drilling initiative to provide clean water to that region.
“I see a greater purpose in my Christian walk than ever before... I want to help, do, act and give.”
“I am humbled, more focused on my purpose as a Christ follower, more determined to make a difference in the lives of people around me as well as those in far away and impoverished places.”
“I got to see the most desperate need that I have ever witnessed in my life and experience the heartache that comes with the experience.”
“This trip has caused me to reflect on life at home and challenged me to not live a life of mediocrity.”
“Seeing the spiritual wealth of those who are physically poor changes my perspective of spiritual wealth and how much we lack it.”
“[Because of this trip, I now] understand the differences between relief and long-term help.”
“God showed me the impact our missionaries are making.”
