<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><strong>The Project:</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Haiti's capital Port au Prince and the surrounding districts have recently been destroyed by a very powerful earthquake leaving the nation reeling. As a result there have been many orpahned children adding to the many there before due to previous tropical storms and the like. Mission International's partners in Haiti, led by pastor Rolex Poisson, is working hard amongst the kind of children we want to help and has requested Mission International to assist with sponsorship and projects in order to help them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><strong>Can you help?</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Haiti needs help across the baord. Mission International is not an aid agency and so cannot intervene in the rescue and clean-up after the earthquake, however we have a role to play in the support of the poor. With your help we can make sure that children who are in need are given the kind of care and support that will allow them to grow up feeling loved and cared for.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today (Sunday 17th January 2010) we heard news that Pastor Rolex in Haiti is fine and well. We are now in communication with him to discuss what we can do to help in the process of rebuilding his precious country. Mission International will be gathering support to help support orphaned children, put in place income generating projects for affected families and to take steps to support those who are in need in all sorts of ways.</span><br />

The sponsors from the UK donated a pot of money which was to provide a Christmas party for the children in the centre. Pastor Leonard however saw that many children in the surrounding homes are so poor that they were going to miss out on Christmas while the Hope Centre kids were having a party. It was agreed that an invitation would be extended to some of the poorest children to come along to the Hope Centre Christmas party, in the end 114 children attended in total, 72 village children came along and of course the Hope Centre kids too. Everyone had a wonderful day, a very special Christmas Day indeed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Month of 'Movember' has been added to the fund-raising calendar, well, at least for 2009 since in Movember 2009 a charity fund-raiser was organised by friends of David Henderson to raise some support for the work of Mission International, the group of lads (for obvious reasons) grew facial hair below their noses in keeping with the international fund-raising events (see the following link) </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://uk.movember.com/">http://uk.movember.com/</a>.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The work that Mission International carries out amongst the world's poorest people in never so much brought into focus than it is at this time of year. The Christmas message, of a wonderful Saviour who came to earth to reconcile mankind to God and who called men to follow him in serving the world, is still fully true today. The support we receive from generous hearted people around the country is welcome here in Mission International's office but so much more welcome to those who receive support in terms of a project, or just a meal on Christmas Day. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>(Please visit our various projects from this page to see how God has blessed so many during the year, the blogroll is on the right hand column of this page).</strong></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><strong>Thank you!</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We all, volunteers and recipients alike, want to say a huge thank you to those who have selflessly supported those in need, who have gone on a team or who have prayed for us. We need you to know that what we do would not have been possible had you not joined with us in this way.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">May God bless, you for your kindness, hard work and commitment to the work, we pray that this Christmas will be the best ever for you as you experience the Saviour on the Saviour's Day.</span>McGrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00573733441807946910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580503711427641703.post-74768046026385554452009-12-12T00:58:00.000-08:002009-12-19T06:51:50.489-08:00Ambassadors for the poor - Christmas Fayre, a great success!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsfSfPVODpvnK7huAg3RkqDjxaFLVldNwvto10GdmQUIx5jTpvtU49URBdBCkwIp6aQS1kxOH3uODZTb545w8f6jontzKeBEUTPvG8-3Nu2vRO9XtgCAfHcKjZwe_ia8uVO1Up_VerJg/s1600-h/ASmbassadors.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsfSfPVODpvnK7huAg3RkqDjxaFLVldNwvto10GdmQUIx5jTpvtU49URBdBCkwIp6aQS1kxOH3uODZTb545w8f6jontzKeBEUTPvG8-3Nu2vRO9XtgCAfHcKjZwe_ia8uVO1Up_VerJg/s320/ASmbassadors.png" /></a><br />

The Port Seton Ambassadors for the Poor Christmas Fayre is fast becoming an annual event. A large number of folks turned up on the day to enjoy some Christmas shopping. Stovies, soup and the ubiquitous tea and coffee were also there helping the consumption of a mountain of home made cakes and other tasty bites. <br />

The photo shows one of the Hope Centre kids at peace, sleeping on her bed. These children are learning what peace is all about. Burundi has been at war for about 14 years and has recently signed a peace agreement. Lets hope the peace agreement lives up to the kind of peace expected by the children at the Hope Centre and so many more.</span><br />

The machines will be used to make clothing in areas of the country where families are returning from refugee camps in Tanzania and DR Congo. The people who have benefitted from these grants are now able to develop their own income generating tailoring project which will allow them to feed their families and raise income to send their children to school as well as make it possible to develop the project for the future.<br />

These requests vary from support to build a church or a school, begin a water project or support with evangelism teams. Unfortunately we do not currently have the resources in terms of finance or personnel to help in every situation, however it may be that your church or group would like to link up with a needy community in the developing world in order to help them in a short, medium or long-term basis.</div><div></div><div><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#99ffff;">'Hands On' approach:</span></strong></div><div>Churches and community groups, including schools and colleges are able to raise considerable support for charitable purposes however they may not then be able to carry this through to a satisfactory conclusion. You may feel that you would like to be much more 'hands on' with your fundraising and giving, wishing to see the results of what you have achieved in terms of bricks and mortar or lives changed. If this is the case Mission International can link you up to a specific project, one which is in great need but to date has not managed to find an appropriate sponsor to help them. Your church or group would then take on the responsibility of raising the funds, providing some personnel and getting closely involved in the project.
