$4,500 Needed to Provide Thirty New Mattresses for Children at the Center of Refuge Orphanage3/29/2022
$8,500 Needed to Fund Lifesaving Project LCC has received a request from our Mission Partner, Mission:Haiti for a lifesaving project. COVID-19 is still rampant in Haiti. Mission:Haiti is planning six one-day medical clinics in six different locations. The areas are: Arcahaie, Deluge, Delmas, Petion-Ville, Jeremie, and Le Cayes. The total cost for all six locations is estimated at $8,500, or about $1,417 per day. That pays for medicine plus two Haitian doctors, two nurses, two assistants, gas, water, food, and all necessary supplies. Lophane Laurent will be at each clinic and will be distributing 1,300 + masks. Please prayerfully consider a generous donation to support these life-saving clinics as Haiti continues to battle COVID-19. LCC received the following update from Jackie Rychel, our Mission Partner with Ministry in Mission:
Thanks to Lutheran Church Charities for supporting the food for a youth gathering to provide many young people an alternative to the Voodoo custom of Carnival. Food, fun, and fellowship were had by many by the grace of God and the generous donations through LCC. Jackie Rychel Because of your generous support LCC continues to work with our Ministry Partners in Haiti to bring much-needed relief. We received the following email from Lophane Laurent after a recent food distribution. Blessings to everyone, Today was our second day of food distribution. I want to thank all of you for your support. We helped 80 people with a kit of food costing $35 each. In each package, there is rice, spaghetti, oil, and milk. I want you to know this food will be for a week or more, it depends on how many people are in each family. I want to thank all of our sponsors and donors for your support. We continue to buy and distribute food because the need is so great. Again, thanks a lot, and may God bless you all, Lophane 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 for the most vulnerable Haitians.
Your donations have also provided assistance to teachers at the Lutheran Schools in Jeremie District. Because of your support, many of the teachers have had their homes repaired, and food has been provided for the school children. Our pastors and teachers continue to care for their neighbors and students and are grateful for your continued support!
Donations needed to provide food for children and their families Your generous donations have allowed LCC to provide scholarships for children living in the tent city in Port-au-Prince, so that they can attend a Lutheran school. One of the things that the school provides is a hot meal for the children every day. For many of these children, that is their one good meal of the day. Last year, food kits containing rice, beans, oil, spaghetti, and milk were distributed to the children and their families so that they could continue to eat daily during the Christmas break. The current humanitarian crisis in Haiti has made providing food for the children and their families all the more urgent. We received the following request from Lophane Laurent, Field Director, Haiti: Good morning everyone, I want to thank you for continuing to support our poor children to go to school again this year. You know our difficulties, trouble in my lovely country. The kids that we sponsor to go to school are living close to the schools, and those schools are still open, and the kids are safe going to school. This year if you think we should give the kids the same food we gave them in their kits last year, I think we should plan for $60 a child because everything has gone up. A 50-pound bag of rice that I used to buy in the past for $15 now costs almost $30. So the food now is very expensive. I can tell you that without LCC's support, all of our children would stay home without going to school. This is the reason why we are always praying for all of the members of LCC and for our donors and sponsors. If it is possible for you, can you please add more children to receive the food package we share with our kids in December? I know how LCC supports my people to get food in this terrible moment. Thank you so much, and may God bless all of you. Have a great day with God. Blessings, Lophane Please consider a donation to provide a Christmas present of food for the Haitian school children. $60 will provide a two-week supply of food for a child and their family.
LCC is asking for your help to provide a Christmas food kit for 100 children. LCC received the following update from Haitian Lutheran Mission Project about your donations to support Haitian Lutheran teachers: I want to let our donors know that our teachers did receive their salaries which we sent in advance (paying them until the end of this year). I would like to assure everyone that we continue to serve the people of Jeremie even through this difficult time. The unrest and gang activity that you hear about is not happening in Jeremie, but what happens in Port au Prince does impact the entire country. Thank you for your continued support, and I hope to send good news in the next email. Blessings, Susan Gross Haitian Lutheran Mission Project Help LCC purchase desperately needed supplies for most vulnerable Haitians Our Mission Partners in Haiti, Ministry in Mission and Mission:Haiti, have people on the ground and continue to purchase and distribute desperately needed supplies. The most urgent need is still for water, food, hygiene kits, and building supplies. Food and building supplies are in high demand. Inflation is high, and roads are still partially blocked. The political unrest and danger from gangs make it more difficult to purchase supplies and get them to those who desperately need them. Last week Mission:Haiti was able to distribute food and building supplies purchased with your donations. Mission:Haiti was able to purchase two motorcycles for pastors in the area who need motorcycles in order to reach the people they serve. There is still a need to purchase one more motorcycle. We received the following update from Lophane Laurent in Haiti: Blessings to you. I want to thank you for giving the motorcycles to two pastors who are really in need. I want you to know how those motorcycles will help them a lot and more people will be able to receive the gospel. Thanks again and may God bless you abundantly. Blessings, Lophane The cost of a durable bike is currently $1,900.
Your donations help LCC purchase desperately needed supplies for most vulnerable Haitians Our Mission Partners in Haiti - Ministry in Mission and Mission:Haiti continue to have people on the ground who are distributing desperately needed supplies. The most urgent need is still for water, food, hygiene kits, and blue tarps. We received this update from Ministry in Mission: Food is in high demand. Inflation is up, roads are blocked making it very difficult to purchase food. Ministry in Mission can purchase food in country and distribute it to those living in outlying areas. There is also a need for motorcycles. Mission:Haiti has identified three pastors in the area who need motorcycles in order to reach the people they serve: Motorcycles are still needed for three Pastors; Pastor Jean Phenol in Fond Rouge, Pastor Pierre Onel in Abricot, and Pastor Bernard Jonis in Lebedin. All three are in the Les Cayes/Jeremie areas, where the earthquake did its worst damage. The cost of a durable bike is currently $1,900.
2,100 + Killed, 12,000 Injured On Saturday, August 14, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti taking more than 2,100 lives, decimating homes, schools, offices, and churches across the country and leaving hospitals overwhelmed with thousands more injured. Meanwhile, Grace lashed Haiti as a tropical depression on Monday, August 16, dumping up to 10 inches of rain before regaining tropical storm status the following day. Our Mission Partners in Haiti have people on the ground doing assessments and distributing desperately needed aid. We received this update from Ministry in Mission and a request from Mission:Haiti:
We also have been able to send funds to Mission:Haiti, who purchased and distributed much-needed supplies. The need for water, food, hygiene kits, and blue tarps, which can be used to make temporary shelters, is still desperate.
