SPECIFIC MINISTRY NEEDS / OPPORTUNITIES

• Financial Resources (monthly or one time gifts):

We are at 100% monthly funding commitment at present! 

Individual and or dedicated monthly gifts are always welcome, however. We do have supporters who need to change their giving due to unforeseen circumstances & having others step into the gap as God leads truly helps to keep our minds, hearts & energies focused on our daily ministry in Haiti. Please feel free to send a quick email to discern our present needs at any given time.
