Friends of NHHM:

One month ago today the earth shook in Haiti. Since that time our work and mission has grown tremendously as we come to the aid of the Haitian people. The past 10 days since our last update have been busy. The work in Haiti continues: Jean Claubert is still locating family members of friends of NHHM and continuing to distribute to our neighborhood, churches, and other orphanages. Our work in the US continues: fundraising, speaking with groups/churches, keeping track of donations, and facilitating future trips.

Please continue to pray for us as we want to do all that God has prepared for us to do, no more- no less. Pray for our children/staff who are still living outside under tarps. The fear that grips their hearts every time an aftershock occurs, is real and traumatic. We are praying for God’s perfect peace to encompass their minds and hearts. The picture to the right shows our kids in the flatbed truck which has become a makeshift “dining hall”.

There are so many opportunities presenting themselves as we enter into the next phase of rebuilding. We face a huge financial challenge. The first goal would be $150,000 to purchase land and build our own facility. This would allow us to expand our ministry to meet the existing and growing needs that are in Haiti. We humbly ask for you to share about our work with those you meet, your churches, and your families. We cannot face these challenges alone.
