What Can One Church Do?

It's easy to feel overwhelmed when one looks at the needs in Haiti.  After all, what can one church do?  Here is your answer:

One church can not take care of all the needs of Haiti.  Yes, it is overwhelming.  But they can make a life-transforming difference for one community or one family.  Madame Emilie is a single mother of 6 children.  All of them were living in the tin structure that you see in the first picture.  They'd been praying for a way to get a new home - for a way to get out of that cobbled together tin "house".

RMI learned of her need and was able to share that need with Kimball Church of Kimball, Nebraska area.  They took on the challenge, raised the necessary funds and put together a team.  That team came in January and worked at raising the walls.  The RMI staff finished the house over the next couple of weeks.

Madame Emilie's oldest son shared, "I cannot believe this is happening.  This has been something we have been praying about for so long".  Thank you to each and everyone who donated, worked on the house and prayed for the completion of this house.  What a blessing this is for this special family of 7.  A huge thank you to the Kimball team for making this happen.  God heard their prayers and answered through you.  You were Christ's hands and feet to this family.  

This is just one of the ways that our C3 partners are impacting their brothers and sisters in Haiti!  You CAN make a difference!
