We are excited about the new agriculture project we started in Haiti about a year and a half ago. The goal is to make micro interest free loans to farmers who already own land but have no money to plant crops to tell in the market and support their families. We started last year with just 11 families and they are given four years to pay back the loan at which time we would use that loan to help another farming family. The project has become a much faster success than we anticipated. We currently have about 40 families involved because people like you donated and several of the original families have already repaid the loan. We have about another 100 families on the waiting list. We know that this is a particularly though time for many families around the world including America so we are asking that you pray for a family on the waiting list. At the least, they will be able to feed their children. There is dignity that comes when a person realizes that he has made it on his own with no handouts. Just a little guiding hand that in return, he promises to give back to another who is working in the bitterly uncomfortable shoes that he himself used to have to walk in for much of his life. We wish you a very Merry Christmas 2011 and a Very Happy New Year 2012. Please pray for Haiti and invite others to do the same.Now that Haiti is no longer in the spotlight, many have forgotten the hardship that earthquake victims are still facing. Some continue to live in tents almost two years later! Progress is very slow but with the help of people like you and me, we are able to make some difference by providing housing, schooling and food for many in need; especially children. God bless you and stay warm!

Thank you for a wonderful race. We are happy that you contributed to a great cause because after all, it is about the Spirit of Truth school children in Haiti. With your contribution we will be able to help provide education for 450 children. We also hope to continue our fund raising efforts to help with school families affected by the quake and are still in need of a home. May God bless you with a wonderful year and we hope to see you again next year. To God be the glory!
