<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We felt God soften our hearts toward Haiti and
the work Healing Haiti is doing there during our first mission trip in March
2014. We returned two more times together since then, and Michael went
one other time. We are grateful to the Lord for opening up this
internship opportunity for us this Fall, 2015! Michael is excited to use
his God-given carpentry skills to assist in maintenance at Grace Village, as
well as being involved in agricultural projects. Erin is a nurse in the
States, and thrilled to be Jesus in skin to the elders in the Grace Village
Elder Care Program by doing RN home visits. Both of us will have the
privilege of residing at Grace Village during our three-month internship,
allowing us to live in community with and be mentors to the Grace kids.
Romans 12:2 says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test
and approve what God’s will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will.” We
are eager to live out God’s will for us and the adventure He has waiting for us
in Haiti! </span></div>

We had 2 pastors from North Heights speak to the students, Pastor Mindy Bak and Dustin Antoinette, Student Ministry Leader, and North Heights volunteer Ruben Joanem, who was born in Haiti and now living in MN, talk about their own experiences serving others, education and living Chris-filled lives. Our own staff, Pastor Wesley, Salomon Georges, Madigan Wilguenson, Grace Academy Director and Student Class President Widley spoke to the students and teachers.

<span _mce_style="font-size: 10pt;" style="font-size: 10pt;">God wrote Haiti into my life in October 2013, taking me by surprise and hitting me with an emotional bag of bricks. I</span><span _mce_style="font-size: 10pt;" style="font-size: 10pt;"> had served in other developing countries, but there was something about the Haitian culture and people that continued to wreck my heart even after I returned to Minnesota. I found myself searching for a life of purpose through my career and material things, but never felt fulfilled. If someone would have told me I would be a Long Term Missionary serving in Haiti I never would have believed them. God must have a funny sense of humor, because a year later, I was on a plane moving to Haiti. Haiti was never in my life plan but it was certainly in God's plan for me, and all I had to do was let go and allow God be the author of my story. </span><span _mce_style="font-size: 10pt;" style="font-size: 10pt;">Moving to Haiti has been the most challenging, scary yet fulfilling experience.

<span _mce_style="font-size: 10pt;" style="font-size: 10pt;">My first trip to Haiti was in July 2012, and that week I absolutely fell in love with the country and the people of Haiti. I knew I would be back. I went on seven week-long trips and served a 5-month internship at a non-profit in Haiti while I was finishing my undergrad at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee. As graduation was nearing, I knew the next step of my life would be spent in Haiti, I just didn't know how, when, or where. I began filling out applications and sending resumes and Healing Haiti just kept coming back to my mind. After much prayer I knew it would be my new home. </span><span _mce_style="font-size: 10pt;" style="font-size: 10pt;">I came in March of 2015 for an internship at Grace Village, and I am so blessed to have the opportunity to spend the next two years here as Activities Coordinator. I love engaging with the kids and showing them the love of Christ by loving them unconditionally. It is amazing to see how the Lord has prepared me for this journey and I am so blessed as you support me financially and in prayer.</span></div>

<span _mce_style="font-size: 10pt;" style="font-size: 10pt;">The way God worked in me through the people of Haiti in July of 2013 forever changed my heart. As I boarded the plane to return home the questions began. Haiti had changed me, brought me priceless friendships, and took my prayer life to a whole new level. But I was flooded with questions. What do I do now? I need to go back, but how? When? What is God's purpose for me in Haiti? Well...He called me back three more times over the course of a year and a half. I am a teacher at home and each time I visited Haiti it became more apparent. The answer was, "The children." I have been serving on the Healing Haiti Education team and I am overwhelmed by the work God is doing through the many volunteers who willingly give of their time and gifts. I am so blessed to have the honor of working alongside some of those beautiful souls and love on God's precious children at Grace Village for six weeks this summer. I will be serving in Haiti while my husband, Josh, serves a tour with the U.S. Navy so we are very grateful for your prayers and support on this journey and throughout this season of our lives.</span></div>

<span _mce_style="font-size: 10pt;" style="font-size: 10pt;">Ever since God placed a burden on my heart for the orphaned around the world through the adoption of my siblings I have always felt compelled to work with the orphaned in some capacity. After visiting Haiti and witnessing it's beauty I felt an even stronger urge from God nudging me to trust Him and His path for me rather than my own. Once I arrived home from Haiti I could not stop thinking about the country and her people. The love, joy, and heartbreak I saw and experienced in Haiti drew me closer to God and I wanted to be able to contribute whatever I could. God has done great things in Haiti and has even greater things in store, and I'm humbled to get a glimpse of His Glory. </span></div>

I am a 26-year-old Minnesota native. I find joy in being a light to others around me. Since my first trip in 2012 and second in 2013, I have spent time volunteering in different avenues of the Healing Haiti organization. Guided by compassion and faith I knew God was calling me to continue to search for opportunities to serve in Haiti. My prayers have finally been answered and I eagerly await this opportunity to serve at Grace Village this summer.</div>

By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preach to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve.</span></span></li>

It is with full hearts that we write to celebrate the huge success of this years' Sweetheart Ball. We couldn't feel more blessed; what a wonderful way to celebrate Valentines Day, savoring God's love for us, for Haiti, and our love for each other!</div>
<div _mce_style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: 'book Antiqua', Palatino; font-size: 11pt;" style="font-family: 'book Antiqua', Palatino; font-size: 11pt;">

This year we are happy to share that we had the most successful event yet, and over 460 lovely guests celebrated with us. The photo booth was a bigger hit than ever, and the fun props made for some awesome pictures! D'Arcy Teasley had her jewelry on sale, which is always a hit, and we gave away two pairs of fully-funded trips to Haiti. Amazing!</div>
<div _mce_style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: 'book Antiqua', Palatino; font-size: 11pt;" style="font-family: 'book Antiqua', Palatino; font-size: 11pt;">

The 2015 Sweetheart Ball marked the start of the "Hope Grows Here" initiative, which supports the Hope Church & School in Cite Soleil, Haiti. Guests had the opportunity to fund a tile that will be installed as part of a 'commemorative wall' celebrating what God has done and will continue to do within the walls of the church, school and community. Guests could write out a Scripture, message, and/or name on the customized tile to show their support of this initiative.</div>

We are so excited to share that we have raised 80% of the funds needed to build the church and school!! Amazing!! Ground has already been broken and construction is underway, and we are eagerly expecting God to meet us with the remaining 30%. We serve an all-powerful God who has met us every step of the way, and we know that Hope Church & School is going to make a huge impact in Cite Soleil and the surrounding community.</div>

Long-term missionary Rachel Lamb will be leaving Grace Village tomorrow, and heading home with her dog, Nora. She has served with Healing Haiti in our clinic since July 2013. We are grateful for her time with us for over 1 1/2 years! The clinic was completed in October of 2013, and Rachel aided with many clinic procedures, dental surgical teams, staff hires, staff and children, and many other areas. We will miss her expertise working in Haiti as well as her ability to connect with the children, staff, and the community. She has been integral as we started with our clinic in Titanyen, and the CHE program. We are thankful for her time and want to encourage her as she moves back to the states to pursue other avenues.<br />

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">...better late than never, right? We hope so! We're delighted to be able to share storied from a medical team that traveled to Haiti in mid-September of 2014 and spent two full days at Grace Clinic</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. During those two days they saw 21 patients—12 children, 6 women and 3 men. Ailments ranged from burns, hernias, tumors and skin cancer, to name a few.</span><br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dr. Daniel Cantwell, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, shared stories of a a couple patients that stuck with him after the trip. One story was about a 25-year old man who was a machete worker who accidentally sliced his palm wide open on the job. He found the clinic just a couple hours after the injury. “He had his hand wrapped up in a dirty sock, said he saw signs for the clinic, and we were able to repair his hand that day,” Cantwell noted. “If he hadn’t seen treatment early on, he would most likely have lost his hand due to infection, potentially affecting his ability work work. If bacteria got into his blood stream it could have been even worse.” The man came back in for check-ins a couple time over the next two weeks, and the permanent Grace Clinic team was able to see the man to full recovery.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another story included a 4-year old girl who had fallen into a fire while her mother was preparing a meal. Her dress caught on fire and burned stomach. Cantwell commented that the girl’s mother “had taken her to a different clinic where they were changing dressings, but were not able to repair the burned skin. The girl was experiencing a lot of pain. With the help of anesthesia, she was able to be without pain while we applied bio-brain on her skin—bio-brain adheres to the skin and heals the wound 50-60% faster. Again, the permanent Grace Clinic team was able to follow up with this young girl and see her back to full health.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is not the first time Danny Cantwell and his team have been to Haiti on a medical trip, and it won’t be the last. Cantwell said he hopes to be back in 2015. We are so thankful for Daniel Cantwell and all those who have given their time, energy and talents to Grace Clinic. The clinic serves as a beacon of physical and spiritual hope to Titanyen, Haiti and the surround community!</span></div>

CHAMPLIN, MN – The ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability) announced today the accreditation of Healing Haiti of Champlin, MN.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="color: #0433ff;"><span style="color: black;">ECFA accreditation is based on the </span>ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™<span style="color: black;"> , </span></span>including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising. <span style="color: #952193;">Healing Haiti </span>joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 27 million donors that have earned the right to display the ECFA seal. When an organization is accredited by ECFA, it demonstrates its willingness to follow the model of</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
biblical accountability.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
“We are pleased to accredit a ministry committed to bring clean water, food, housing, and education to the poor and most vulnerable of Haiti providing opportunities to live and share their faith and build strong Christ centered relationships,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA. Founded in 2006, Healing Haiti (<span style="color: #0433ff;">www.healinghaiti.org</span>) encourages all to be obedient to God's call to serve the poor, to step out in faith and to see the world through a different lens through a short-term mission experience, and to share their experiences in Haiti with people back in the U.S. helping all to see how blessed they are and that God blesses not to consume his many blessings for themselves, but to let them flow to others.</div>

We are grateful for the opportunity to provide care for over 40 children in Titanyen. In August of 2014, we opened our family style homes. Our orphaned children live in these home with two parents, providing a warm and safe environment for the children to grow up and learn about living within a family. Included in the home is a structure that encourages independence. All children are responsible to clean their rooms and the home, wash their clothing, help with food preparations and general house upkeep.</div>

Healing Haiti has been greatly blessed by many long term missionaries who are instrumental in moving our ministry forward. We have had a number of our dear missionaries complete their time with us and start a new chapter in their lives. We've highlighted each of them below. Please join us in thanking God for each of them for their service to our ministry!</div>

The operation ensures proper nutrition is available for Grace Village children and our elderly. Great success was achieved during his tenure as fish and plant life thrived and the efficiency of the operation moved from 50% to 100%. Mark and his team were able to grow six different kinds of peppers, along with chives, parsley, cucumbers, cabbage, watermelon and lima beans. Mark was also instrumental in providing computer training to students at Grace Village and those in the Titanyen program.<br />

She is loved by many in the community and has a heart to serve. She enjoyed valuable friendships that she made with the staff, children and community leaders. She has a heart for others and truly a heart for the poor. Bianca worked as aLong Term Missionary (LTM) from June 2013 through June 2014. She is now working with one of our partners, Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), and is able to use her experiences with FMSC in Haiti to help her in our current role in country. We look forward to hearing how God works in her life.<br />

Kayleen Smith Pfizer </b>worked as a LTM for Healing Haiti from July 2013 through June 2014. She worked with our transition program, establishing 8 boys and 3 girls into two separate homes in the community of Titanyen. Kayla also inspired our organization to change from orphanage living to family style homes. Kayla worked with the transition kids on budgeting, integrity, life skills and more. She is greatly missed but we are happy for her as she recently married Jason Pfizer this past October. Congratulations Kayleen and Jason!<br />

<b>Jessica Burmester </b>came to Grace Village in July 2012 and she worked in each area of Grace. Her guidance and leadership set the tone for Grace Village at its beginning. Jessica later worked on adoption and advocate issues for the organization. She has made many special connections with our children, staff, and especially our elderly and community members. She has a heart to serve and has been a blessing to the organization. She started a business called "Anchored in Hope" in which she provides opportunities for Haitians to make metal art. People are then able to purchase the art, and funds derived from this endeavor will help her pursue her goal of becoming an adoptive mother. In November, Jessica was granted guardianship of a young boy named Lovinsky, and is currently living with him in Port-au-prince. She now works as a teacher.<br />

A few months ago, Healing Haiti secured a traditional Haitian family home located within the village of Titanyen to be used as a transition home for males who are approaching adulthood. On December 21, 2013, Grace Village’s eight oldest boys moved into the home to begin the next phase of their life: the journey towards independence.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
While living in the transition home, the participants receive training and support from the Transition Program’s coordinator, Kekete. Kekete (pictured below) is a mother of 11 and provides invaluable expertise in working with and supporting the young adults we serve to better prepare them for the demands of independent adult life. She works alongside the young men to teach them skills such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting, time management, work ethic, job seeking skills and much more.</div>

Recently, Healing Haiti began planning for a female transition home by securing another small house in Titanyen. Soon, we will be welcoming a wonderful group of young women into the program when the oldest girls at Grace Village enter into the next phase of their lives and learn the skills necessary to live an independent life.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Once the participants master the program’s independence objectives, they will be supported in seeking gainful employment and securing housing and will then graduate from the Transition Program. We are so proud of how far our young men and women have come in such a short time and look forward to watching them continue to grow and mature through this program.</div>

On Saturday, October 11th, the world celebrated International Day of the Girl. This day is a "response to the urgent problem facing our world today: the neglect and devaluation of girls around the world. Every year, dynamic groups across the world (led by girls, of course) acting to highlight, discuss, celebrate and ultimately advance girls' lives and opportunities across the globe. (cited from Day of the Girl's website)" </div>
<div style="font-family: ArialMT; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: ArialMT; font-size: 14px;">
Healing Haiti celebrated by bringing 15 of our girls to Baptist Mission in Fermenth. It's a beautiful green area that one of the first missionaries to Haiti established.</div>

Long-term Missionary Elisa recounted the following: "We had a great day. We toured Baptist Mission's history of Haiti museum. Enjoyed hot dogs, chicken nuggets, fries and ice cream at their mountain view restaurant, picked out a few gifts for their parents and then played on their playground. After arriving in Port-au-Prince we stopped at the guesthouse for some tacos and decided to write "thank-yous" to our parents. What a fun day celebrating these beautiful women in our lives."</div>
