Haiti Mission

Haiti Mission Update

      Members of our Congregation have been given an exciting opportunity to go on short-term mission trips to Haiti. Haiti shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. It is 565 miles off the coast of Florida. Today the population of Haiti numbers over 7 million people. Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere with an average income of less than $300.00 a year. Even though the people of Haiti are free they are still slaves tied to the land and their poverty.

      On both of these trips we will be in the southern leg of Haiti near the city of Les Cayes. While our primary purpose will be building projects and running a small medical clinic; we will have the opportunity to serve and to teach others about God. We are praying for God to open the hearts and ears of the Haitian people and for spiritual growth of our team members. The team members going will be: Jenny, Arek, Carla, and Joe . Joe will be going for the entire three weeks. Carla, Jenny and Aerk will be going on April 13th through the 19th.

      Any one interested in this mission, either to go to Haiti or support in other ways, please contact Joe Scholpp at haitimission@haiti.rlcw.org. There will also be members from Grace Lutheran Church in Richmond, IL and Prince of Peace Church in Davenport, Iowa going with us. The cost for each team member is approximately $1300.00 per person. This covers all our in country expenses and airfare.

We are trusting God will meet these needs. Please support Redeemers Mission trip members.
