Needs in Haiti

Our team's mission did not end when we left Haiti. As Dan of Faith Missions International (FMI) told us, we are now responsible for what we know based on what we saw. That being said, part of my job is to let others know what is going on there and pray that God will provide the volunteers and finances to support all that He is doing in Haiti through these ministries.

Many of the children at Gift of God Orphanage (GOG) are still in need of sponsors. If you would like more information on child sponsorships, click here.

FMI is also in need of funds for projects at GOG and at the guesthouse. Those projects are:

1) Cubbies
2) Wall in the Girl’s wing
3) Bathroom repairs
4) Haitian Kitchen
a. Roof
b. Counters
c. Cabinets, Tile, etc
5) Refrigerator for the Guest House

Also, Global Orphan Hope (GOH) needs support in getting the new orphanage, Hope Village, up and running. The greatest need at this point is for volunteers to join the December and January mission teams slated to continue construction on the Hope Village home. As construction progresses with Hope Village, there will be more needs, such as cribs, bedding, etc.

Any funds raised over the $4,500 needed to cover the five projects listed above will be used to purchase rice and beans for the children at GOG as well as any future needs at Hope Village.

Short-term missions trips are also vital in blessing the orphans in Haiti. If you have never taken a trip, I highly recommend you consider doing it at least once in your life. Five-day trips to Haiti are available through FMI and AGCI. AGCI also offers trips to Africa, China and Bulgaria.

If you would like more information on any of these ministries, click on their links to the right under "Help Support Orphans." You can also go to AGCI's website to learn more about adoptions and orphan care around the world.

And don't forget to pray, pray, pray for the orphans in Haiti as well as the estimated 163 million orphans throughout the world!!!
