Our Kiddie Fair and Auction on July 28th was a great success. Even though the rain kept coming off and on all afternoon a great time was had by all.

We managed to clear over $2500 profit and that along with a couple of anonymous donations brought in enough money to send our group to Haiti.

We can't thank the companies and individuals enough that helped make this auction a success.

Here is a list of sponsors who donated items, time or helped promote this fundraiser. May the Lord bless them for their kindness.

Here are some photos that were taken by Heather Sons during the course of the day.

Northwest Haiti Christian Mission.

The Northwest Haiti Christian Mission was established in 1979 after a group of missionaries travelled to Haiti and saw the need for a mission devoted to Christian beliefs. They also witnessed severe physical suffering and the hopelessness of the Haitian people. In August 2003, the Haitian government awarded the mission the Organization Non-Government (ONG) status.

The mission's main campus in in the city of Saint-Louis du Nord. The campus has a church, Bible college, school, medical facilities, home for elderly Haitians, home for special needs children, and nutritional facilities. This is the campus where American work teams reside when they come with us on a mission trips.

Another campus was started in 1979 as well because of an incredibly great need: Many people died during a 7-year drought, leaving children with no one to care for them. Within the first two years, the orphanage had twelve boys and twelve girls. To date, the orphanage has served hundreds of children and it averages 90 to 100 children. There is also a school and a church building at the site of the orphanage. Some of the orpahans who came to the mission years ago have become active workers for the Lord and for the mission.
