Ministry & Teaching: Crossroads Church will host a Children’s Xplosion Camp at New Life Children’s Home to bring the excitement of learning about God to the children in Haiti. Each day will EXPLODE with music, activities, snacks, games and fun!
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita of $870 in 2018 and a Human Development Index ranking of 168 out of 189 countries in 2018. According to the Human Capital Index, a child born today in Haiti will be only 45% as productive when she grows up as she would be if she enjoyed full education and health. Over 6 million Haitians live below the poverty line on less than US$2.41 per day, and more than 2.5 million fall below the extreme poverty line of US$1.23 per day.
The children in these homes are given a fighting chance for survival and a safe place to live. Some of them are brought there because their family has died due to the extreme poverty and poor living conditions, while others are brought by the parents so that their children might survive.
I have always felt a call to missions, but have never responded until now. My body is fighting hard to keep going and I have decided that it is time for me to fulfill this call while I still can (and with permission from my doctors). I can love on these kids, where I may not be able to fo much else in another mission field or project. Katie is joining me because she too feels led to the mission in Haiti and she has decided that serving God and others far outweighs any senior trip she could make this year after graduation. ❤️
If you can help us raise money in any way, we would be extremely blessed by your giving. It doesn’t have to be a huge amount....every dollar will make an impact.
Thank you all and we covet your prayers as we prepare for this life-changing adventure!
