In Response to the Devastation in Haiti

With the earthquake in Haiti earlier this week, many from our fellowship have been contacting NHA seeking advice in how we can get involved in the relief effort going on there. While there are many worthy organizations available to donate to, and we would encourage you to do some research and work through the organization you trust most, I (Jared) would like to tell you about one that is close to my heart. Last summer, I had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Pignon, Haiti in the northeast region of Haiti. We worked with a brilliant and passionate Haitian pastor named Jephthah Lucien. He comes from a family of pastors who are spread out around the country of Haiti bringing the gospel message to many who don't have the means to travel to one of the many churches their family and disciples have planted. Jephthah's brother, Henoc, has an organization called Vision of Hope Ministries that is based in Haiti and ministers to the Haitian people through church plants, orphanages, schools, and missions trips for foreigners to Haiti. I would like to submit Vision of Hope Ministries as a choice for your earthquake relief support. To find out more, visit www.vohmhaiti.com and click on the earthquake support button on the homepage. There are many ways to donate money, from credit/debit card to PayPal. As we hear about other opportunities, such as donating items (hygiene products, batteries, non-perishable food items, etc.) rather then money, we will let you know.
