Construction Supplies for a New Haiti

It was a blessing to see all the logistics come together for the supplies on their way to Haiti. Early Monday morning, May 3, truckload after truckload of metal mesh and cases of nails, nuts and bolts arrived at New Missions in Orlando. The lumber, consisting of various sizes of pressure treated boards, will help build new churches and schools in Haiti.

What impressed me the most was the support given by our Central Florida volunteers. Five area churches sent volunteers to serve alongside us, and the help was greatly appreciated!

Pallets of shoebox gifts were placed in cases for their journey to Haiti. Twenty-one pallets of medical supplies were also included in our inventory of this shipment. These resources will quickly be put to use at our 22 school clinics and the hospital at New Missions.

A major rebuilding project will need to take place at our Missions Training Center–where our mission teams have always stayed. For 27 years, mission teams have greatly served our mission. If you would like to partner with us in helping rebuild our Mission Training Center, please contact me directly.

These are exciting days! We are steadfast in our calling. Changing the lives of children is our focus with the Gospel as our foundation. Thank you for standing with us. We are honored to serve.
