New Classroom Space

We're thrilled to announce that our Port-de-Paix sewing class is moving to a new classroom! The new classroom is on the bottom floor of the old Waves of Mercy church. It is much more spacious than our old classroom, and now the instruction and sewing lab will be in the same room. It also has more natural light than our old classroom.

I have spent a lot of time in that church over the years. If you would have told me on my first visit to Haiti in 2012 that one day I was going to start a sewing program, and that church was going to be the classroom -  I would have said you were crazy. I never would have dreamed that. Not in a million years.

But, God knew. 

He knew from the very beginning what He was going to do, and how He was going to orchestrate it. We serve a mighty God, and it is such a great privilege to tell "...the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done." Psalm 78:4.

We are so excited about this move, and all the possibilities it will bring. It is conveniently located a short walk from the new Waves of Mercy church and campus, which makes this an ideal location for our program. 

Thank you Lord for your faithfulness!

July 2017 Current Needs

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about our current ministry needs!

The following are specific needs that are not currently being met by our student sponsorships. We'll update this list each month as our needs change.

  • Sponsor a teacher
  • Give toward cleaning, supplies & repairs
  • Give towards classroom rent

Will you consider a one-time or monthly donation to meet one of these needs? Your gift will help our students continue learning how to sew so they can provide for themselves and their families.

Haitians Teaching Haitians

We had a special guest last week!

Johnson, a student in our Port-de-Paix sewing class, traveled 3 hours by moto to teach the ladies in our Mole St. Nicolas class how to make this purse. He had never seen or made this purse before. I just gave him a sample purse and he drew the pattern on the board, and taught the class step by step how to make it...and he did an awesome job!

Our goal is for both classes to make bags and purses like these that we can sell in Haiti and the U.S to help support the sewing programs.

By the way, Johnson needs a sponsor! Who'd like to step up and sponsor this super talented young man? https://www.haiti323project.org/sponsorship

 Another fun fact - he also made the jeans he's wearing in this pic!
