SOUP DISTRIBUTION IN HAITI




Kim & Gerry who have a heart for missions in Haiti took their first team of 10 youths from the Korean church in Canada on a mission trip recently. During their 10 day trip, they encountered many obstacles along the way….one of them being Hurricane Irene on their drive to the border. God was with them throughout their trials and difficulties of even getting to Port-au-Prince but the team was eager to serve and did whatever was necessary to make a difference in the lives of many Haitan children. They were involved in door to door ministry in the tent city and working through the church to feed many hungry children. We received this note of encouragement and thanks from them.

"We would like to just take the time to thank you for providing the bags of dried soup mix from the Ontario Christian Gleaners and cases of “Nutrition” from the Campbell Soup Company.
The more we thought about it, the food distribution was the focus of this mission trip. I know the food is gone and so are we, but we realize that we not only fed the hungry but supported a church with an appetite for God in the heart of this tent city. This church is a symbol of hope and a future for Haiti. The team would also like to thank-you for giving them the ability to feed 250 children on a daily basis. The parents of these youth cannot believe the transformation in them
Without your support we would not have been able to make this possible. Cans of Nourish were distributed to seniors and individuals who were severly malnourished.
Tears of joy upon receiving bags of dry soup mix from the Gleaners.
The time you spent with us giving words of wisdom and encouragement have completely changed the way we hope to do missions in the future with a focus on helping and not hurting."

If you have heard any more info on the well drilling project I’m sure we could raise the necessary funds. The best way to deal with the cholera situation in Haiti is clean water and we hope to use it in the remote regions where there is no medical aid.

Your friends and neighbours
Kim and Gerry
God Bless
Looking forward to seeing you
