6) How is WWV helping children cope with the struggles in Haiti? By sharing the love of Christ!
- Pastor Gary from the Armee du Salut school in Luly recently said, “As you know, the situation we are coping with in Haiti is not easy. These situations affect our children emotionally. To help them in these situations I think it is important to create moments during the weekend to spend time talking and helping them have peace of mind.”
- World Wide Village is partnering with two pastors in Haiti to offer a Saturday morning Bible Club and a Sunday afternoon Bible Club to help share the love of Christ and be a support for children in Haiti who are struggling. Please continue to pray for the children of Haiti.
These programs are only possible because of you.
Your ongoing generosity and prayer are helping God’s work in Haiti continue!
