Faith Bible Church is planning on being part of long term service to the churches in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. April 5-12, Jack Hancock, Evan Jarms, and myself will be traveling with Pastor Raimundo to start preliminary planning for long term partnerships. Northwest Christian School is interested in long term ministry in Haiti and the DR. With my affiliation with The Pastor’s of the Caribbean (POC) Network, we will be identifying service opportunities for churches around the U.S. Evan will be taking video and pictures to hand off to the POC director to create proposals for network churches in the U.S. This trip will truly have a multiplying affect helping many churches around the world get involved. There is now a healthy infrastructure for teams to connect with, and soon local churches can mobilize to be part of the ongoing ministry. The need for medical teams is still high and the need for training is ongoing.

Please renew your efforts in prayer. 

• God would strengthen the local churches in the Dominican Republic and Haiti to trust in him amidst seeming chaos.
• For Christ to give wisdom to key leaders like Angel Castillio who are establishing long term ministry strategies in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. 
• For service partnerships for Faith Bible Church and for other churches in the Pastor’s of the Caribbean network. These churches span the globe.
• Health and Safety. We won’t be able to serve if we are not healthy.
• Financial resources. It will cost roughly $2,000 per person for the trip. Most of that is air fair.

If you wish to support this financially, make checks payable to Faith Bible Church. Mark the check. Haiti.  As always the elders want to steward God’s resources well and in giving you acknowledge that you trust their oversight of these funds.
