December Mission Team in the Village of Belot, Haiti

Please pray for the village of Belot and spread the word for an upcoming mission trip this December (9th-16th). Total cost is only $450 plus airfare (currently running $675 from Portland, which will vary from departure city). The team will stay at our house here in Thomassin (just south of Port au Prince). We will use as much of the funding as possible for the village/community.


There are 65 students enrolled in the school currently. They hope to accept 100 students by December. There is a ministry making Jesus story dolls for each student. It is hoped that thee team can transport those dolls into the country. There is also a church member making school bags for the children.


This will be a trip to enhance the spiritual well being of the community, pray with the students, assist with the school, and help the pastor in any way possible. We will provide a list of supplies that each team member should gather.


We are raising funds to build school desks and chalkboards. We are also seeking a larger grant to finish building the school. There are just partial walls up right now with no roof. The school and church currently meet under a tarp, but the tarp has ripped and blown off in a storm. The most urgent need currently is to get them some new tarps for cover since the rain is preventing them from attending school on some days.
