Mission Trip A Success!
On March 20th, Pastor Jim Reimer led a team to Haiti. While they were there, they accomplished everything they set out to do. Working directlywith Haiti ARISE, they helped build homes for the EACHone BUILDone project, taught children about hygiene, helped build a medical clinic, and just helped out in any way they were needed. The highlight of the trip for many was having the opportunity to hand several families the keys to their new homes.

EachOne BuildOne: The Story So Far…
While much money has been pledged to the reconstruction of Haiti, according to CNN, and CBC, little has been accomplished due to complicated government issues, land disputes, and red tape. In August, I led a team back to Haiti and we can testify to the accuracy of this report. In response, we have initiated a house building program called Each one Build one. Kootenay Christian Fellowship has partnered with Haiti Arise, a Haitian humanitarian organization, to build 1000 homes in 2011. Every dollar donated will go directly to build safe, earthquake resistant, appropriate Haitian homes. Please donate today.
