Gary Fallesen / Friday, September 7, 2012 / Categories: Haiti, Mission: Haiti 2012, Mission Moments Mission Moment: Sept. 7, 2012 More than US$15,500 has been raised to help with Haiti storm relief and to pay for cancer surgery for Pastor Blanco of the Climbing For Christ church at Jimani. Blanco is scheduled to undergo surgery next week. In the meantime, food has been purchased as the first of three stages of assistance in the aftermath of the destructive Tropical Storm Isaac. Buying and loading food to be delivered to hungry villages in need, above. Food bags, below, prepared to go to families. These bags contain rice, beans, sugar, cooking oil, flour, spaghetti, corn flour, sardines, and soap. About $3,000 in food has been purchased for delivery to more than 150 families in five villages currently served by Climbing For Christ. Another $3,000 will provide beans and fertilizer to plant in Gentilhomme, Malasi and Thoman, where crops were virtually destroyed by the Aug. 25 storm. An additional $5,000-plus will be used to put the roof back on the church at Malasi. We offer thanks to God for providing through 17 cheerful givers and pray that our stewardship of these funds is pleasing to Him.
