Second meeting

The second meeting of the Mid Ohio Valley Haiti Outreach was held on June 28. Bobby began the meeting by sharing Matthew 25:40 - "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' The driving force of this outreach is to share Jesus through meeting the needs of the people in Haiti, specifically the Terre-Noire and surrounding communities through the establishment of a school, clinic, trade school, and church.

Bobby confirmed the trip to Haiti on August 12-26. The cost of the trip will be $1500. Each person that would like to go on the trip is responsible for raising/providing their funding.

A car wash fundraiser for materials needed while on the trip has been scheduled for Saturday,
August 7, 2010 at Wendys in Vienna, WV starting at 9am and ending whenever cars stop coming in to be washed. Please spread the word and come to support what God is doing in Haiti through this outreach.

Bobby also shared a little bit more about the conditions in Haiti. Haiti is about 11,00 square miles (equal to the size of Maryland). The people are only getting assistance from the Christian based groups. The officials in the country do not assist the people at all. They have no basic health care and the daily wage is about $2 per day. The need there is very great and the efforts made through this outreach and only through the power of God will change lives in Haiti for eternity.

The next meeting for the MOVHO is scheduled for July 26 at 5:30 pm at the Belpre library in the meeting room on Washington Blvd. If you or anyone you know is interested in being part of this life changing outreach, please contact Contact Miss Vicki Boggs at vicki@lynnstreetchurch.org or 304-488-7713 for more details.
