Mission Emanuel
“Is this not the fast that I have chosen (for you): to loose the bonds if wickedness, to undo the bands of their yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to give bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor that are cast out into your house? when you see the naked, cover him…” Isaiah 58: 6-7
Pictured you will see a patient being transported to the helicopter covered with a sheet to protect her wounds from the dust. Our team along with a relief worker from Spain are there to carry her. Our Ministries Director, Elliott Drake, is helping to direct traffic along with a US Army armed guard. More food distribution as well as patient transport continued in our last day. You can see a tent city made of cardboard and bed sheets. The patients do not want to stay in concrete buildings since the earthquake.
Our Haitian Pastor, Jean, and friends Ettiene and Raphael have been working with Anna Bolton to coordinate efforts to help the hundreds of Haitian refugees who have been moving into Cielo and Nazaret. The last two Sundays, their church service has been full to capacity (100+) both morning and night. We are working on ways to help provide housing, food, and clothing.

Child Sponsorship Program
The Sponsorship Program is a way to build a relationship that will last through the most important years of a child's life. For $30 per month a child can receive medical attention and an education, but it means so much more. It is a chance to extend your family. Through letters and trips to the community, you can share the little joys in life and see the world through their eyes.
It is also an opportunity to be as Christ instructed, by serving the least among us. What is difficult to describe is that the joyful smiles of these children, experienced in the communion of friends, becomes tangible evidence of God's care and grace for all of us. Visit our children that are in need of sponsorship.
