We thank God for a successful mission trip in June-July, which included a Family conference, conference for young people, men’s and women’s conferences, separate seminars for Deacons, Sunday school teachers, worship leaders, church leaders. There was a Vacation Bible School that many children attended. We were able to provide tools to a remote mountain village called Fort Rivière, which has a large population of children, a struggling school and a need for a water system. We hope to do more for them.
Our mission team had to leave early after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. Still, we are thankful to the mission of L’Église Wesleyenne Choir, which has organized evangelistic events in different towns for several years, and grateful to God for what we were able to do.
And then, on Saturday, we heard the terrible news of a 7.2 earthquake that struck around the area of Les Cayes, near Île-à-Vache. Hand to Hand for Haiti is working with our partners in Haiti, who will meet with local leaders and organize a relief effort around local priorities. We will update you when a plan is in place.
