Heartline Missions Outreach to Haiti

This upcoming September, I will be joining a team of women going Haiti for a second year in a row. James 2:5 says, "Listen my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?". I have to say that I was completely humbled by the richness of faith that my Haitian brothers and sisters in Christ posses. It was a privilege and honor to serve alongside them as we shared the hope and love of Jesus with others, fed the hungry and met other tangible needs. These trips align our heart with God's heart; his love for the least of these, his heart for the orphan, his desire for the lost to be brought back to him. I'm looking forward to the good works that God has set before us and being molded more and more into the women he desires me to be.

The Chanje Movement is the organization we will be going with and they are in close partnership with our church in building lasting relationships in Haiti. The Chanje Movement looks to empower the people of Haiti not just give hand outs. Although we are there to help for a week at a time the Haitian's are there everyday living life. The Chanje Movement gives them tools to help change their community everyday of the year. It has also given my husband and I the personal privilege of sponsoring the adorable boy, Ronel,  in the picture above. He lives at one of the two orphanages that Chanje helps to support. I can not wait to see him again, encourage him in his faith and remind him our mighty God is for him.

I am kindly asking that you consider helping me in prayer, encouragement and financial giving, if you feel called. As I shared above the impact the trip had on me, here are some highlights of what we did to make an impact on the community:

• Shared the Gospel message, and prayed over hundreds of people in personal 1-on-1 moments,
• Brought joy to neighborhood kids, orphans at Chanje Lakay and families as we played soccer, basketball, danced, laughed, and loved on whole communities;
• Brought much needed food, about 3,000 meals in total and toiletries to multiple communities and the hundreds of families within;
• Funded the building of a long-overdue flooring project in one of the orphanages homes, and provided our own sweat-equity as we labored alongside the Haitians who were employed to perform the work.
• Encouraged and poured into several Haitian translators looking to make a difference in their communities and country

I can't wait to see all that God has in store for me, my team members and the people of Haiti on this next trip. Looking forward to sharing more amazing stories with you when we return.

Thank you so much for you help,

Jacqueline Champlin
