Dear Friend,
As the Director of Haitian Christian Mission, I sometimes find it hard to believe how this ministry has grown.  What started as a small Bible study on our front porch in 1974 is now a multi-faceted mission organization serving thousands in Haiti every year.  And year after year, we place our hope in Jesus who works through so many Christians to bless this ministry.

Three Important Contacts in Ohio

 

I was invited to be the VBS speaker at Christ Church at Mason by friends like Jill Buffenbarger, Karen Osler, Cindy Alison and others that visited Haiti. The Lord has opened a wide door for the mission. Haitian Christian Mission and others are in line for a multitude of blessings:

First of all, the VBS attended by some 1000 children raised almost $26,000 that we will use to build a house for a family on the demand of her sponsor, fence the 40 acres, drill a well and buy a pump where the university is to be built.

Secondly, Kim Juilfs helped me establish contact with Matthew 25 Ministries where the mission could get relief to feed, clothe and care for children in dire needs. They have enough means to cover thousonds and thousands of children in Haiti.

                                                              

Thirdly, Jill Buffenbarger called and got me the contact of Lawrence E. Bergeron, Executive Director of ‘A Child’s Hope International, Inc’. These two contacts will lead to the hunger relief of thousands of children in Haiti. I need to mention that we are thankful for Mike Cohoon who through IDES and Lifeline Christian Mission ministered to us in food containers three times.

 

How will the contacts work?

Churches that want to help us will need to send young or older folks to volunteer work. For information, please contact Michael Vanhook or Tim Mettey at the website Matthew25 ministries at www.m25m.org or email mvanhook@m25m.org or m.vanhook@yahoo.com, address: 11060 Kennwood Road, Cincinnati OH 45242, phone 513-793-6256 for details.

The other contact is: Lawrence Bergeron, Executive Director of A child’s Hope International Inc located at 6396 Gemstone Drive, Liberty Township OH 45044, phone 513-515-2611. Email lebergeron@achildshopeintl.org, website: www.achildshopeintl.org 

Volunteers could furnish two hours of work or $10 that will feed a hungry child for a month.

We are on the move for this as we intend to stop hunger for many chiildren in many areas. We will attempt to build a warehouse with loading dock large enough to be used as a distribution center not only for HCM but also for other missions that embark the fight against hunger and disease in Haiti. Food is needed for orphanages, schools, nutrition centers and churches. We pray that you will get on board with us on this important undertaking.

By the way, Angie and Daniel got married in Sardinia OH. It was a nice wedding ceremony. I was blessed to play a roll in it.

 

With the KINGDOM in mind, the best is yet to come.

Annual Convention

This year HCM held its annual convention in Fonds Parisian.  The campus was full of worshipers and leaders from all over the country. 

In light of the tragedy this year, Etienne walked in faith and did not ask for any money to support the group.  There were many to be fed and those who needed shelter.  As always God provided.  Betty explained how the people came together bringing food and supplies.  There was also a large donation form a local Haitian friend!  Rice and beans were plentiful.  Tents were distributed and the people were encouraged.
 

Welcome to the World!
  The first baby delivered by C Section came into the world at the Christ For All Clinic in Fonds!  Thanks to Cheryl  from Forest Park Christian who was there with a medical team.  Dr. Patrick assisted and is shown here holding little "Sheryl Wensalai"! 
 
 
 
 A new soccer league kicked off in June at the school in Fonds Parisian.  The first tournament included 6 boys teams.  The four day event included music, dancing, and an awards ceremony.  Children who have had nothing but tragedy to focus on were given an escape and reason to smile.

One player, Gee, is quoted as saying, "When I play soccer I don't think about anything else and I can just enjoy myself."

   The first two girls teams were formed in July and the community came out in even bigger numbers to watch them play.  Thanks to Play It Forward and their vision to bring a new athletic field to Haitian children in Fonds!
