We Need Your Help for Haiti

As you may know we have an orphanage on the northern coast of Haiti that was constructed to hold 60 children. Currently 11 make their home there as we are barely open. The orphanage is brand new, was not damaged in the earthquake, and is located near Port de Paix, Haiti.

We never anticipated a time like this. 1/3 would be left homeless following the devastating earthquake on January 12. Before the earthquake there were over 250,000 orphans in Haiti, a country of 9 million. Now there are possibly thousands more.

Our intention was to open a facility that would address the rescue of some of the over 200,000 slave children in Haiti.

Because of the need to shelter and care for children that have been orphaned in Port-au-Prince by the earthquake, our plan for a gradual opening of our home has been altered. We will accelerate operations in order to accommodate as many children as possible, as quickly as possible.

This is where we need your help.

We will have at least 64 children, plus staff much sooner than we expected. Therefore, we need to accelerate our efforts which requires increased funds and supplies to operate.

Mission Discovery is Responding Right Now in Haiti. Donate Now

Last week a Mission Discovery team was on the ground in Port au Prince, Haiti offering relief. We met with over 50 pastors in Port au Prince giving aide as well as ministering with medical supplies, a clinic and the acquistion of a house to host teams. Immediately Haiti continues to need doctors and nurses. Simple "wound care" will be essential for the coming weeks. Our base will host these teams with long-team ministry in mind.

Mission Discovery's HOLD the Children Orphanage on the northern coast will be a safe haven for children who lost every living family member in the earthquake. Teams will be needed in the future at the facility to help. 10 feet from the HOLD the Children Orphanage is our school, so children will immediately be placed in our school where they will receive a quality education.

We are ready for the tasks at hand because of the generous gifts of our partners. Every dollar for the construction of our children's home was given by friends.
