You can - DO SOMETHING...

From Theresa Grant, (Tonya's Mom) Missionary to the Farwest, Northwest Haiti Christian Mission.

I hope, through the help of churches in the states, to provide employment for some of the Haitian women. Work is very scarce in Haiti and while the Haitians are willing and eager to work, most are unable because no work is available. I am hoping to help change that a little bit. I am asking ladies and/or churches to help. I would like to have the following items donated. You can place all of these items in a gallon zip-lock baggy and then forward them to me.

2 yards of flannel

1 spool of matching thread

1 pack of needles

$5.00 placed in an envelope

This will employ a Haitian woman for one week. We are having them make baby blankets from the flannel. This will help us to provide blankets for the infant nursery and the birthing center and also provide a source of income for these women. (There are 5 babies a day born at the birthing center.) I know this does not seem like much, but it is enough to employ a woman and pay her wages for a week. By providing employment we can help Haitian women provide food and housing for their families.

Each Haitian woman who participates in “Sewing Hope” will be given, at no cost, their first zip-lock packet containing a needle, thread and 2 yards of flannel fabric to hem. This will make 2 blankets . When they return the finished blankets they will be paid the equivalence of $5.00 USD. At that time they can then purchase the next pack for a minimal fee of 50 cents.

My goal is to have the ladies come for bible study and prayer one day a week and pick up their packets. They can return them at the end of the week for pay and come again the next week for bible study and to receive their next packet.

If you need further information please contact me via email: MTinHaiti@mac.com

Because of Him,

Teresa Grant

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I definitely believe in the power of prayer. We are getting ready to
start a street crusade in Chansolme on Sunday evening, April 20th
through Wednesday April 23rd. Please pray for our team who will be
preaching and doing evangelistic calling during these days as we do
not have a church there and it may prove to be a difficult area.
Please pray that hearts and minds will be open and that the gospel
message will be received and that we may see a new church birthed.

Thank you and God Bless,

Mike Grant
