March 2010 Haiti Update

On March 12th it will be two months since the devastating earthquake took place in Haiti.

“Although the world is full of suffering,
It is also full of the overcoming of it”
Helen Keller

Good is winning hands down over destruction !

• We see strong tents arriving and being erected.
• Food unloaded from trucks, Drinking water, blankets, medical supplies… Countries like Italy and Canada , Argentina, Peru, South Korea, Mexico, Paraguay to name a few, joining the US in the fight against time and disease for the people of Haiti displaced by the shaking that continues still.
• The suffering father who lost his oldest son in the complete collapse of the University building is comforted by Emory, the missionary who holds him as he weeps.
• The mother, now without a husband to provide for her and her small children, receives ample rice and beans from the young man who just couldn’t stay home and watch it on the news.
• The kids now orphaned and shaken finding a new home with the missionary lady who left everything behind years ago for the opportunity to live and love beautiful Haiti….

God is meeting each one through the hands and faces and resources sent by others.

It is His way.

“defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them…”

this Exhortation from the Psalms seems to be universally understood throughout mankind….because they have come and they are coming still.

It is a beautiful thing… this overcoming of suffering.

Much Ministries is now working to establish a year round base in Port Au Prince, Haiti in order to move into the next stage of TRANSFORMATION.

• First comes Relief: the urgent and temporary provision of emergency aid to reduce suffering

• Next comes helping the victims Recover..find and rebuild shelter, relocate, resume a life as normal as possible.

• The next is Development..the process of ongoing change that brings in true transformation for an individual, a neighborhood or a nation.

While we are today participating in the relief, JT is on the ground even now with the charge of distributing four 40 ft. containers of food…..we are also exploring new housing possibilities for the displaced,

we are committed to being part of the Development process in Haiti.

WHAT : Our mandate is to train a generation of leaders in Haiti that have developed both marketable skills and courageous values that will strengthen this Nation.

HOW: A series of leadership trade schools that train students in a variety of highly marketable skills such as:

• Construction
• English as a Second Language
• Child Care
• Culinary Arts
• Marketable Artwork

While at the same time incorporate principles of leadership into the learning environment.:

• Honesty/Integrity
• Teamwork
• Interpersonal Communication
• Self-motivation
• Strong work ethic
• Creativity
