There is a saying in Haiti, "Papa Nwel bliye ayiti anko." It's actually kind of a sad saying, because it means "Santa Claus forgot Haiti again." It's a reflection on the deep poverty of the country. But thanks to you, our faithful prayer warriors and supporters, we know that Haiti is not forgotten.
Many wonderful things have happened this year to allow us to serve the Haitian people more faithfully. The year started with a new power system for the clinic that will improve the clinic's ability to serve the community, a new water pump was added to the clinic, and a new roof was built to make visits for future mission teams more comfortable and the clinic facility more secure. The kids enrolled in our medical adoption program are receiving preventative and critical care. Our mobile clinics treated 482 patients, and each person who was treated was ministered to and loved on by our amazing staff and missionary teams. And finally, our teams prayed with 46 people who asked to accept Jesus as their Savior!
As we look forward to next year, we have great expectations to see what the Lord will do in Haiti. One of the greatest gifts we can give is the gift of hope and each time you give to Haiti Cheri, you are giving hope to those in need. If you would like to include Haiti Cheri in your end of year giving, we would be thrilled and honored. You can give online at
www.haiticheri.org/donate, or via mail at the address found at the bottom of this email.
As always, we are praying for all of you and thank God for your support. We wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
