Syliane’s Home

Steve and his daughter Sarah with Syliane’s family in front of their new home.

I shared with you last week that Will Coley would be leading a team from Sovereign Grace Community Church (Peabody, MA), constructing a home for Marie Syliane and her three children Silène (12), Fedner (10) and Islande (7). They did come and they did build and there is a new home for this precious family. Praise God!

How do you think it felt for Will, Steve, Sarah, Sarah, Norah, Scott, Tom, Katie, Aimee & Lizzie when they left Grand-Goâve on Saturday? They worked so hard, but I don’t think one of them minded it. To know that this family will sleep securely and safe from the elements makes me feel so happy and I know they all feel it, too.

Syliane has been battling with Shingles for months. Please pray for her whenever she comes to your mind. She has a lot on her plate, raising three children on her own in such difficult circumstances, but she is confident that God will continue to care for her family as He has every day for the past five years, since her husband died.

Once again, I want to extend my thanks to Sovereign Grace Community Church and Will Coley for raising the money to build this house and for coming here personally to do so. May God abundantly bless each one who had a part in this work.

Would you like to build a home for a family in need, too? The project cost for a basic, 2-room house is currently $5,000 ($7,000 would include a porch and outdoor latrine). You can raise the money and come to MOHI with a team to construct it, or you can raise the money and we will have our Haitian construction crew build it. Either way, it will benefit a family that needs a secure home to live in. Please feel free to contact us to start planning to help another family.

Barrels for Haiti

School supplies previously shipped to MOHI by WWLM

Our dear friends, Pastor Kalinsky and the Full Gospel Interdenominational Church/World-Wide Lighthouse Missions in Manchester, CT will be sending barrels of supplies to MOHI in Haiti soon. They would like to open the doors to all of our friends – especially in New England, to be a part of this. They are collecting school supplies, but focusing on back packs and notebooks. We would LOVE to be able to provide all 800 students with these donated items in the Fall. Please feel free to hold a “school supply” drive, on behalf of MOHI and then contact Adrienne Lautenbach for delivery information at 860.645.4141 ext. 159 or by email at adrienne@wwlm.org. The deadline for these donations to make this shipment is May 30th, so please do not delay. Spread the word and be a blessing to the children of Haiti. The cost for shipping these supplies to Haiti (a dozen barrels or more) is estimated to be $2500. Any help with these shipping costs would be greatly appreciated. Donations can be made at the World-Wide Lighthouse Missions website. (please note “MOHI Barrels” in the memo), or via mail ( PO Box 5010, Manchester, CT 06045-5010 / Checks payable to ‘ WWLM ‘ ).

Home Run

Our friend and friend of Haiti, Candace Lee was the co-writer for the movie “Home Run” which is in Theaters now. I encourage you to go see it. The reviews have been good. I would love to hear from all of you just how good it is!
