Global

Faith is pleased to support global needs, through our contributions to the ELCA’s Global Mission programs and through several local organizations.

Village of Hope (Haiti)
Each year, Faith sponsors two service projects that benefit the Village of Hope School in Haiti:  Christmas in Haiti and Back to School.

In addition, Faith families continue to sponsor children at the School by engaging in service projects and other donations.

In 2008, a mission team of volunteers from Faith traveled to Haiti to help Village of Hope School by painting its kitchen, building and painting student desks, and setting up special computer lab stations for the students. The mission team also visited Little Children of Jesus Orphanage and Grace Mission Orphanage, both of which, along with Village of Hope School, are sponsored by the Lazarus Project – Haiti.  The team also toured the Food for the Poor center in Port au Prince which serves meals daily to several thousand families at two sites in Port au Prince.  During the summer of 2008 tropical storms that completely flooded the Haitian city of Gonaives, Food for the Poor provided meals by helicopter until the roads and bridges were restored to allow overland traffic.
