Pastor Jay and Diane Mission to Haiti

We traveled with a team of 8 people from all over the U.S. to the Dominican Republic March 1 with one personal checked bag and one checked ministry bag for supplies, etc... We purchased food & medical supplies in Santo Domingo. We drove to Haiti on March 2 to deliver supplies to Mountain Faith Mission orphanage. We spent two nights, spent time with the kids and workers and helped where needed. After the drive back March 4, we ministered to the Dominicans March 4 & 5th and flew home March 5.

This began Tuesday, April 1st.

Once this change has been implemented soundly, a monthly food distribution will be added to the list of local services provided.
