Cap Haitien, Haiti Mission of Mercy ~ February 2017

Truth Connect was in Cap Haitien, Haiti to assist with a mission of mercy February 23 - 28, 2017.  Richard Rohde, Director of HOLD the children (Htc) child advocacy organization, asked me to join him and his team of 23 on this trip.  The purpose of the trip was to minister at the Htc school in Limonade.  The mission team from Port St. Lucie, FL and Silver Spring, MD helped take pictures of the children and update their personal information for the sponsorship program.  A medical team also examined over 400 school children, teachers, and local adults in need.  Two sewing machines were also delivered with instructions on how to use them.   My primary mission was to serve the mission team ministering the Haitian people.  Each evening I would lead a team devotional and prayer time.  And, since I have been working in Cap Haitien for a number of years, I drove one of transport vans and helped with logistics.


Pastor Bazile is the Limonade school's founder and director.

Medical examiner needs a good interpreter to help her learn the child's need.

Donated sewing machines along with instructions are extremely practical ways to help.
