Devastation Strike
On January 12th, 2010, Port-au-Prince and it*s surrounding cities, (about 3 million people) -- one-third of Haiti's population -- were affected by a devastating 7.2 Earthquake. I saw first hand the crisis that followed after the destruction hit the capital city. Now imagine how many of those people died not knowing the love of Christ. But the state of this small island was in desperate need of Christ long before.
Sounds of an Earthquake
After the ground stood still for just a few moments and the dust began to settle, there
were sounds other than destruction that could be heard. One sound was from children crying out from despair, hunger, and illness. You may not be able to hear them crying, but never the less it happens and God hears each one. If you could pass by those children you would want to do something... Right?

14 years ago, the Charbonneaus heard God*s call and started a children*s program. Over the years, their ministry has grown to 2,000 children, by providing church services, school sponsorship to 500 children, feeding program, and a medical clinic. They are in the process of building a children*s church to minister to 10,000 of the poorest children in Haiti. The ones their own community sweep aside.
The Need to Return
I was in Haiti for 11 months helping the Charbonneaus with their children's programs before the earthquake. I will be returning for a second 12 month term. However, I cannot do so at this time as there is a lack of funds .Would you please consider partnering with me and become a sponsor.
For myself, giving up my life in Canada to serve God in Haiti is not difficult. I'm excited about the opportunity and experiences that lie ahead. I hope you see the value in what will be accomplished for the kingdom of God
