Hope for Haiti

It’s 3:30 am on Thursday, March 11. I just closed the front door to our home as I completed our Skiles tradition. When anyone leaves our home we stand on the front porch and wave good-bye until we no longer see you in our sight.

Cheesy? Probably so, but it’s what we do.

This wave was a little different. Joe is joining our World Missions Director, Lloyd Naten, on a journey to Haiti. They have a miraculous window of opportunity to represent us, the PCG, as a people who are hungry to give hope to the hopeless.They will return Sunday, March 14th. This is a brief but powerful trip. Once they land, they will meet with our missionaries, Walter Stecker and Virgil Kincaid and drive 15 miles from the airport to our Bible College in Port au Prince. Here we are housing over a 1000 refugees. We have had several buildings leveled and damaged.

Impact Now Mission: With the rainy season coming, they will set up tent shelters and work on the perimeter walls. There is still no electricity.

Project Haiti Mission: To assess the damage and begin a plan of rebuilding the campus. To assess the humanitarian needs of the refugees who are residing on PCG grounds (It’s our reasonable service, Romans 12). To bring awareness to the PCG family and everyone we are in contact with of the physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial needs. We must help with their survival, their well-being,We are there for a purpose. While buildings need to be repaired and rebuilt, we know we have teams from the USA that are ready to strap their work belts on and jump on a plane.

We need you. But we also know we have a need of teachers, nurses, doctors, mothers, fathers, and friends.

Are you willing to be that person?

Over the next few days/weeks we are going to be blogging on different ways you can get involved to bring Hope to Haiti...
