Haiti Update

At the end of December Miles Dodge led a team of five individuals to the orphanage in Haiti.  They accomplished a great deal and had an incredible experience.  It has been very difficult for Jackson's family after his passing last July in a tragic car accident and the team was able to bless his wife Renette and the rest of his family by accomplishing some great projects.

One of the team members is a dental hygienist and cleaned all of the kids teeth.  This was such a huge blessing as most of these kids have never had a teeth cleaning before.  The team was also able to help finish the construction of the surrounding security wall and install barbed wire on top to increase safety for the children.  

One of the most exciting aspects of this trip was that the team was able to purchase a basketball hoop in country.  The kids has an absolute blast playing with the team and we are so thrilled to be able to provide them with this opportunity.  

Among many other things, the team also fixed the water catchment system and painted a beautiful memorial to Jackson on the orphanage wall.  Renette was very excited to have the team in country and sends all of the supporters her love and thanks!

We have two more teams heading to Haiti in March to continue the work. Please keep them in your prayers and feel free to reach out if you are interested in helping or attending a future trip.

God bless,

Joey Jenkins
