Haitian Missions Trip 2011 Updates - Group Going In June

Haiti is still very much in need of assistance and a helping hand.  We are planning a team right now to go to southwestern Haiti this coming June of 2011.  There is much to do in various areas such as finishing the agricultural project that is almost completed, get a well drilled for a good water source, and starting the process of building the orphanage and building the funding sources and backing to sustain this for a long-term and sustainable resource for the unfortunate children.

Piura and Cuidad Noe, Peru Medical Mission Trip

This is your chance to make a difference in the lives of the Peruvian people!

Peru ranks amongst the world's amazing centers of historic civilization. They continue to fascinate travelers and archaeologists alike. Peru can be found in the west central section of South America and is particularly a nation of geographical and cultural contrast. Peru is the 19th largest nation on the planet and is bordered north by Ecuador, to the south by Chile and Bolivia, towards the east by Columbia and Brazil and also to the west with the Pacific Ocean. Peru is a unique country as a result of the climatic, natural and cultural difference of its regions, which consist of coast, sierra and jungle.

Peru is populated by over 23 million people, largely descendents of Spanish settlers as well as native Inca and pre-Inca civilizations. Currently there are three national languages: Spanish, and the native Quechua and Aymara, reflecting the native Indian and Spanish origins which cultivate modern Peruvian society.

The main purposes of this mission trip is medical missions and work on a local construction project. You will have many chances to evangelize among the local people and youth of the community.  Throughout your stay in Piura you will have the opportunity to be a blessing to many by the work project you will be completing or the medical missions outreach in Cuidad Noe (City of Noah). You will come in contact with many children at our hosts training school and church. You may also have the privilege of evangelizing in the nearby villages, bringing hope to the lost as well as being an encouragement for many others.  There will be countless opportunities for ministry and spiritual mentoring in your leisure times and social activities.

We wanted to share with you the blessings resulting from the help you have given in supporting this ministry and the missionaries who went this year.

Php 1:3-7 I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you, always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy, for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now; being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ: even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers with me of grace.

Youth Quests International - Haiti Updates

Sharing the blessings of your help in supporting this ministry and the missionaries who 

went out this year.

The Haitian projects Youth Quests International is involved with, along with your support, have current needs and prayer requests.  We wanted to share with you the future plans for these projects in this area, as well as, what has been accomplished through your assistance and prayers.

The previous team had worked on some crucial improvements for the teams who will be doing follow up work on several projects. They were involved in ministry to the local people as well. The Haiti missions team that arrived in the village near Torbeck on July 18th greatly appreciated all the preparation done for them. This second team worked on building the poultry business that will be the first step for a sustainable agriculture project for this ministry.

Additionally, both teams conducted some special programs with biblical teaching for the children and teens of the area, evangelized and held special services in the evenings.  The second team had the privilege of showing the Jesus Film in Creole and handing out tracts to the local people wherever they went.  With your help, YQI bought a generator for the ministry that was a great benefit for the cooks, the church with their evening services, the housing for the teams and, of course the Jesus Film presentations in the evenings.

Project Updates and Prayer Requests

Will you pray about the following needs? The dollar amounts mentioned are still needed for the projects.) 

For donations go to: Youth Quests' Hope For Haiti

Water Well

While working there, we were able to talk with some government officials about drilling a well in preparation for the orphanage we are planning on building.  Even though they said that they only drill on government or public lands, they agreed to drill the well for a very reasonable $2000.00.  We are praising the Lord for this opportunity to obtain a good source of water for the orphanage and ministry.  Pray for the project to progress, continued cooperation, the doors to stay open and the much needed funds.

Poultry Business

The aim of this business is to support and assist the pastors to be more self-sustaining in working with the local people, as well as,  generating income for the operation of the orphanage.  As of right now, we are currently $2000 short on funds to get this poultry business fully up and running complete with facilities, equipment, feed and chicks.

Improvements To Homes

The crucial improvements included cleaning cement rubble out of a house that will be used to house teams when they come to work in this area and hand digging a well for clean water.  We are blessed to be able to use this home when we bring teams to this small village area.

Materials were bought for a special project to help out a Pastor, his family and a couple of orphans that will be living with him.  With your help, YQI bought the tin roofing to cover the half of the house where they lived that didn’t have a roof on it.  This roof was put up in time for the rainy season and is a greatly appreciated addition.

Orphanage Projection

We are currently in contact with a Christian man who has been building several homes in Haiti in cooperation with the Haitian government.  He has agreed to build the Haitian orphanage in this area employing local people and using good materials for the low cost of $15 per square foot!  Our goal is to start with a 2000 square foot facility that would only cost $30,000; then with the water available, the orphanage would be in a good position to be a blessing to many in that area.

Adoption in Progress

The orphans need hope and a future; currently it is our

opportunity to help an orphan girl be adopted into a Christian family in the USA.  The lawyers in the country have been working on the adoption. The family needs  another $3,000.00 to complete the adoption process.

Thank you so much for your interest in missions and the

assistance you have already given.  May the Lord richly bless you!
