Pastoral visitors needed!
Our Pastoral Care Team could use your help for a few hours each week. We have a number of parishioners who are housebound, some temporarily shut-in, some who are lonely and some unwell. An occasional visit or even just a phone call from someone who cares can be a great blessing. We would gladly provide some training and support if you feel you could help out. Please contact David Swift through the church office.

HUGGING THE CHILDREN OF HAITI
My Heartfelt Gratitude
2 years = 24 months = 104 weeks = 730 days and 730 nights.
Yes, 730 nights because they were the worse for
the kids, trauma, nightmares, and nostalgia. But they are finally became fine sleepers, whom we have to send to bed early for next day school.
Thank you.
730 nights. They were the worse for the adults sleeping in the tents, for young girls in the tents, for women in the tents. Slowly they will all find a suitable place to be; at least those I have supported are back to a small nice house or are living with family members.
Thank you.
The 23 students we have supported have passed their grades and 3 of them are happily pursuing university program
Thank you.
118 mobile clinics were held, more than 29,120 patients women, men, children boys and girls were attended to, health care were provided, in several communities in the Port-au-Prince area such as: Mariany, Gressier, Melier, Cité Soleil, Simon Pelé. In the Saint Marc area: Lagarenne, Barbe, Timonette, Bertrand, Boudette Ti Place, Acul Basse Terre, Preval, Poirier, Gervais, Nan Piquant, Saint Marc, Pont Tambour, Charrettes, Goyavier to name only these places.
Plastic milk bag mats are permanently distributed, clothing, food are donated when is necessary.
250 small jobs were created in roads improvement, in construction, and in agriculture.
50 women received loans and grants to start small businesses and 32 are doing successfully in their commerce providing food, shelter, and education to their children. Records are kept for success stories.
In Simon Pele, 16 young people were trained in preventive health care. They are certified health agents currently teaching hygiene and disease prevention in the schools. They are also working through community groups they themselves created to improve the health of the population. They have design community strategic waste projects, teaching and encouraging recycling principles and its profits, urban gardening in unused tires, and small square gardens.
They are also organizing immunization posts, mobile clinics, and mostly are engaging in the door to door system of teaching the population about health, and raising the social conscience of the people by promoting a participatory approach to development of their own streets, yards; participating in their own little resources to the reconstruction of their community making a ripple effect in the greater Port au Prince.
Centre Vie now has 31 children. The orphanage is healthy, the children are growing strong in positive caring and social principles, in love for each other, in learning participatory organizational skills to progress, going to school, making crafts, raising goats, chickens, dancing, singing and praising god, praying for all of you who have helped them from surviving skills to enjoyment of life.
An average of $88,000 gathered from sponsorship, friends and a portion of my salary with Rayjon-habitat has helped us the two last years in providing for the children: food, clothing, school tuition, health care, staffing, housing transportation, fuel (propane for cooking and maintenance), electricity (solar batteries and maintenance), Internet, public relations for sustainability, gardening, leisure and social events such as church events participation, Baptismal preparation, etc. Receipts are available for monitoring purpose.
Personally, I am happy to see the changes in the children. Happy to thank the team of six full-timers and four part-timers we have in Haiti who are responsible for the children. I thank them for the efficient loving care they are providing to the children. They are beautiful and loving people.
Thank you.
Not all of this would be possible without you, dear partners in this mission in Haiti. Please forgive me if I've omitted something or someone!
To focus in development:
Our heartfelt gratitude to Jeff Mills, founder of Focus on Development, for creating awareness and raising funds for Haiti, for our projects in Saint Marc and for standing by the children of centre vie from the day first of the earthquake. We will forever be grateful to Jeff and his family, his daughter Annah, his wife Jill and the Focus team to name a few: Fern Martin, Beth Niels, Mr. Kavannah and the principal, the teachers and students of Almonte High School.
Thank you.
To you dear Breanna Bedor and Smiths Falls First Baptist Church
Heartfelt love and gratitude to Breanna for partnering with us, for starting and co-ordinating the sponsorship program, without her and her son s inspiration, Centre Vie would never be. Breanna and her family have been the bright sun, the motor of the wheel of Centre Vie from day 13 after the earthquake. She has done the whole work of setting up the public awareness and the sponsorship program in Canada and over the world through her website, her meetings, her baking fundraising. Breanna, Centre Vie is you, after God. You are the Mother Teresa of Centre Vie.
Thank you.
We are glad to present our heartfelt gratitude to the Smiths Falls First Baptist Church, to pastor Don Crisp, for his blessed leadership and acceptance of the sponsorship in his church.
Thank you.
I will be forever grateful to Br. Ron Ferguson for his unconditional love, non-biased knowledge of mission, for his clear discernment goals in mission, for his heart for mission, for his simplicity, adaptability in mission. Ron, the tall big kind gentle efficient cameraman.
Thank you.
