Haiti Mission Team 2018 Update! 

Central you did it again...your toys, games, puzzles, sewing supplies (even machines) have exceeded our expectations and have 'maxed-out' our carrying capacity!! Your caring hearts also surpassed our financial goal of $4,500. This will enable us to add a project and any remaining funds will be passed along to Ann Porter's team going in late March for their projects. Ann and Sara, Lisa Myers and Jack and Kevin and Lisa Hahn have 'cultural immersion' goals and projects selected by Laura Elliott, Soaring Unlimited's new executive director. Both groups will experience a variety of church services and participate in Leadership Classes with young men and women aged 18 - 35 who speak English and include a wide spectrum of occupations; tax collector, musician, public defender, hospitality services and teachers. Even the head of the 80-person Helping Haitian Angels orphanage where we will teach sewing to young ladies ages 18-23 will be there. 

Thank you Central, you have richly blessed our teams.

January 2018 Update

Project funds have reached over 2/3 of our $4,500 goal and soccer balls, puzzles and Hot Wheels Cars are coming in fast.  Thanks for your generosity Central!  Our team of 8 will be immediately followed by a medical team of 10 from MSU including Kathy Gray, Jim and Diana Huckle from Central. Dr. William Cunningham will have doctors, interns, nurses and a pharmacist from TC, Julie Botsford.  Our team will prepare the clinic for them to treat up to 150 patients each of four days. Additionally we plan to visit and establish a relationship with 'Helping Haitian Angels' orphanage 1 mile from our clinic where 80 boys and girls reside.   These and other relationships are possible because the clinic in Pistere is the core and the catalyst for health, education and welfare of the village.  Need more info or like to help? Contact Staton Lorenz, 231-492-2121.  Be a blessing to someone today.
