Return to Haiti—Kids Alive




McCoy Memorial Baptist Church is the church we call home here in Elkhart.  McCoy has a team going to Cap-Haïtien, Haiti, during the week of April 1—8, 2017.  The team’s  main focus will be to expand on the building of the school on the Kids Alive property.  This school serves the Kids Alive children as well as children who live in the community.

John and Jean are returning with this team. John will do fixes, upgrades, and training on the computer lab we set up last year. Jean will expand the nursing clinic even more into the local community, and as time allows, whatever else the Kids Alive Children’s Home needs.

We are very excited  to return to serve here.  A  continued growing relationship with Kids Alive and SonSet Solutions has been very fruitful. As you are already on our prayer and financial support team, we ask you to pray for our Haiti team. The team includes some of our McCoy RUSH students, with whom John and Jean both have worked with. 

We ask that you pray, in particular, for these youth that have a desire to serve the Lord in this way.  A work trip to Haiti is not like other trips you hear about.  There is no sightseeing and no frills. It will stretch these youth (and adults) on the team.  Lord willing, these youth will see how technology, health care, and construction can be used in missions first hand.

We’ve served six years now in this blessed privilege of spreading the gospel to the ends of the earth with you and our faithful co-workers at SonSet Solutions. We are truly thankful for your love and support, and pray you had a blessed Christmas and New Year!
