They were so happy today to receive this gift from you and I want you please to thank all our sponsors and donors from the children and their parents.

Dear Friends of the Haitian Lutheran Mission Project, Lophane and the principals of the 7 schools we support are wishing all our donors and followers a very blessed Christmas. We have been able to send each of our 49 teachers $200 (6 months salary of $25 per month plus a $50 bonus) in time for them to feed their families on Christmas. Merry Christmas and many, many thanks.

NEW NEED - Small Shelter for Individuals and Families $50 a year can provide a small shelter for individuals or families to live. "From cradle to grave, the Ministry in Mission supports the poor in Haiti. Having just returned from Haiti we were blessed to visit those in need with the opportunity to provide food and share the love of Jesus Christ. These two individuals are representative of those we serve." - Jackie Rychel, Ministry in Mission The elderly lady in the wheelchair lost her leg due to an infection and relies on neighbors to help. She also is in need of housing. The little boy is waiting for his mother to get back with food. He is standing in front of an empty house where he used to live. His mother could not afford the $50 a year rent so she and her 4-year-old boy are homeless.
 Donations needed to provide children and their families with food  Through your generous donations, Lutheran Church Charities continues to provide scholarships for children in the tent city in Haiti. Each year for Christmas, we ask that you consider a gift of food for the children.
Because of the current food crisis in Haiti, we are asking for donations to provide each child with a food package of basic supplies that will feed their family for two weeks. Without this assistance, many of the children will go hungry. The cost is $50.00 per child for a two week supply of basic food staples. Please consider a generous donation to share the love and compassion of Jesus to these children this Christmas.  Your donations make the difference between life and death for many of our Haitian brothers and sisters Thanks to your donations, Lutheran Church Charities continues to send emergency relief funds to Haiti - the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere - towards critical items through our Haiti Mission Partners. LCC received a request from Jackie Rychel, Ministry in Mission, for financial assistance to feed, clothe, and care for the the elderly at Jacmel Lutheran Home.
 In 2019, Ministry in Mission started to populate the eldercare home. We scoured the porches, alleys and corners of small dwellings to find those in most need of care.
Those we found were near death, unable to care for themselves or had no family to care for them. These beautiful souls came willingly, without fear as we transported them in the back of a pick-up truck to a luxurious place the likes of which they had never seen. Even though they were on the brink of death, only two have passed on to sit at the right hand of God. Ministry in Mission needs financial assistance to feed, clothe, and care for these beautiful people. Medical care, and a several caregivers staff the Jacmel Lutheran Home around the clock. It is also the responsibility of Ministry in Mission to provide a proper burial for the residents. All this expense comes from donations and grants. Please consider a donation. Jackie Rychel, Ministry in Mission Please pray for LCC Haiti Mission partners to show the Mercy, Compassion, Presence and Proclamation of Jesus Christ to those suffering and in need. If you are so moved, please donate generously to help LCC provide food and other necessary items for the most vulnerable Haitians. Your Donations Feed Haitians In Need and Help Make Christmas Special for Orphaned Children10/27/2020
 Your donations make the difference between life and death for many of our Haitian brothers and sisters  Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, has been hit hard by the global pandemic and natural disasters in 2020. Thanks to your donations, Lutheran Church Charities continues to send emergency relief funds to Haiti through our Haiti Mission Partners towards critical items. The greatest need is food for the elderly and at risk families, mostly single parent families. Due to a lack of good government financial policies and the international lockdowns of COVID-19, inflation has become outrageous. Food that cost $10 US a year ago costs more than $30 now! Other needs are school shoes for children, and goats for family agriculture cooperatives.  Helen Roenfeldt, Mission Director, Mission: Haiti reports: We are grateful that during this time of challenging travel our wonderful Haitian staff is able to continue programs so needed by our brothers and sisters in Haiti. Last week they held workshops for 210 expectant mothers, moms with infants and parents with young children. Besides sharing the Gospel, the workshops provided health, hygiene and nutrition education, vitamins, children’s clothing and food for needy families and elderly. Food insecurity is a serious continuing problem in Haiti, particularly for the most vulnerable. This November and December we will be focusing in three areas: school shoes for children, $20 a pair; food for families, $40 for a 2 week package for a family of 4; and goats for family agriculture cooperatives, $85 per goat. Every gift of food, every goat, every pair of shoes, every workshop is given in the Name of Jesus Christ and with His Love. Everything given in the Name of Christ makes a difference because Jesus always makes a difference. Thank you for reaching beyond yourselves and caring for the poor and vulnerable. These are the “least of these”, Jesus reminds us that when we serve them, we are serving Him, and when we ignore them we are ignoring Him. Thank you and God bless you. Because of Christ, Helen Roenfeldt Mission Director Mission: Haiti Make Christmas Special for the Orphans in Haiti  Jackie Rychel, Ministry in Mission, reports:
Thank you to Lutheran Church Charities for supporting Ministry in Mission through donating food and masks to the Center of Refuge Orphanage. Ministry in Mission is grateful to have a partner in Lutheran Church Charities. The faithful donors of LCC sewed and shipped masks for Ministry in Mission to deliver to the Center of Refuge Orphanage. Thanks so much! December is a very special time for Christians all over the world. It is very special in Haiti as well. Did you know children in Haiti do not own toys? There is so much need for the basic daily necessities like food and clothing that toys are out of the question. You will find a few young children, mostly boys that will make toy cars out of discarded plastic water bottles, or kites from empty plastic bags with twigs for shape and structure, and a discarded bit of string. Even if a child has acquired a toy they would never take it out in public for fear of it being taken by a bigger kid. For this reason Ministry in Mission does not take toys to Haiti for gifts for Christmas. We do, however, try to provide food for a special meal or new clothes and shoes. Please help us make Christmas special for the orphans we serve. To go to church Christmas morning in new clothes and shoes would be a great blessing for them. Blessings!

Helen Roenfeldt, Mission: Haiti, reports: In the first 2 distributions we gave out food to 150 individuals/families, mostly elderly. The pandemic and political and economic chaos in Haiti effects the elderly most profoundly. Many are past their ability to do work of any kind and if they have family, their resources are stretched beyond limits. We are so grateful for this opportunity to help more than 400 suffering elderly with food packages that will provide them each about 20 meals.  The lady in green asked our Field Director Lophane if the whole bag of food was for her, he said "yes" and she cried as she thanked him, telling him that she had not eaten for 2 days. Thank you so very much for helping us help these precious souls in Haiti. There are many people who would not survive without this kind of assistance. God bless LCC and all it’s wonderful donors!

YOUR DONATIONS MAKE A DIFFERENCE Your donations help establish Radio Concordia in Jacmel, Haiti, to share the good news of Jesus Christ!
Radio in Haiti is a significant source for news, entertainment and information for most Haitians. Many Haitians don’t have electricity, yet alone televisions. Battery operated radios are popular with the majority of people and are listened to, day and night.  Radio Concordia is run by members of the church. Rev. Alex Moise, a recently ordained Pastor and President of the congregation, heads up the station. Besides Alex, Emmanuel Michel, known to many missionaries from the U.S., has an informative Christian talk show on the station. Other members of the church are Christian DJs at the station spreading the Good News both in words and music. Sunday church services are broadcast weekly. Special church events are also broadcast.
 Due to a lack of good government financial policies and the international lock downs of COVID-19, inflation has become outrageous. Food that cost $10 US a year ago costs more than $30 now!

Food for Haitian School Children  Because of your generous donations LCC was able to send funds to Haiti to buy food for the children we support through a scholarship program. We received pictures and this note from Lophane Laurent.
 Your Donations Help Feed Haitians in Need  Already being hit hard by the pandemic, Hurricane Laura has wreaked havoc in Haiti causing widespread devastation, bringing torrential downpours, flooding, power outages, and other damage that killed 21 people. The combination of wind, driving rain and runoff from the mountains rushing to the sea, damaged and destroyed homes, ruining some possessions and washing many belongs away. Lutheran Church Charities continues to send emergency relief funds to Haiti through our Haiti Mission Partners towards critical items. Funds are needed to provide emergency food, bottled water, tarps and supplies to patch roofs and walls.  We are helping to provide food for elderly and at risk families, mostly single parent families. Due to a lack of good government financial policies and the international lock downs of COVID-19, inflation has become outrageous. The exchange rate has gone up in just one year from 40 Haitian gordes to $1.00 U.S. to 125 Haitian gordes to a $1.00 U.S. In practical terms that means that food that cost $10 US a year ago costs more than $30 now! Please let people know that what they do in the name of Jesus Christ in Haiti is truly the difference between life and death for many of our brothers and sisters. We thank you so very much but the real reward comes not from us but from the King of Glory himself. God bless you all!
