Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ and Friends of Ministry in Mission:
I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ and wish you a blessed summer. Generous donors of time, talent, and monetary donations have helped achieve great success in Haiti. Ministry in Mission has been instrumental in continuing disaster relief for the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod since Hurricane Matthew decimated entire villages in October of 2016. With grants totaling more than $300,000 we have provided air flights of food, medical teams to rural mountain villages, roofs for pastors’ homes, and are continuing to restore the churches that were damaged or in some cases completely blown away! Most of our time has been in the Grande Anse region of Haiti. We continue to support the projects in Jacmel as reported below: The Christian Eldercare program We have a new partnership with Perry Lutheran Homes of Lutheran Family Services. Located in Iowa, Perry Lutheran Homes is a caring community offering a continuum of care for seniors to meet their changing needs Perry Lutheran Homes will provide experience and educational opportunity for the Haitian care-givers and expand the financial outreach to maintain the proper care for these special Haitian people. |

The Jacmel Feeding program has been funded for seven years with your support. It has been increasingly difficult to keep this program running as donations have declined. A very generous donor has come forward to provide a portion of the monthly expense of feeding the poorest of the poor but there is still a shortfall of $700 each month.The Christian Eldercare program, which provides spiritual and physical care housing for the elderly which cannot remain in their own home.
* We have a new partnership with Perry Lutheran Homes of Lutheran Family Services, a caring senior-living community. Perry Lutheran Homes will provide educational opportunities for Haitian care-givers and expand financial outreach to maintain the proper care for the Haitian people.
Last year youth, churches, LWML groups, VBS classes, and individuals all came together for a bake sale that stretched across the U.S. We worked together for the greater good of our beloved friends in Haiti and collected over $7,000 in our Smart Cookie Campaign. It was a magnificent display of the Holy Spirit working among obedient Christians that gathered together for a specific purpose.
Will you join us for raising money in this year’s Smart Cookie Campaign?
Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three gathers together as my followers, I am there among them."
To participate in the Smart Cookie Campaign, choose a date and hold a bake sale or a “bake-less” bake sale. All proceeds will come through Ministry in Mission and be used to provide a stipend for food for the orphan children monthly. We will provide an event page on Facebook where you can advertise your event and share successes. You can also leave messages at ministryinmission.org to let others see how you are doing.
If you cannot physically host a bake sale at your church please consider a collection where contributors can make a donation for the cause. Vacation Bible School is a great way to build awareness for children in need. Perhaps the children can collect for the Center of Refuge Orphanage, the Jacmel Feeding Program or the Eldercare Program.
Please conclude all collection of money by September 30, 2018.
