The people of Haiti continue to need our help after the devastating earthquake last January.

The twenty30somethings of Dunwoody UMC responded to the call in October 2010.  We hope to return as soon as the political situation stabilizes later this spring.

People ask me about our trip to Haiti all the time.  I have to say that it was the most intense experience of hope in the midst of hopeless I've ever had.  Buildings and lives were crushed by the earthquake last year.  The United Methodist church is there helping to rebuild.

Hundreds of thousands of people died in the earthquake.  More than that were severely injured.  Millions are displaced.  The United Methodist church has been on the ground in relief efforts from day one.  In fact we lost one of our local mission organizers in the quake.

Our church worked with United Methodist Volunteers in Mission.  They are part of our connectional system which is working closely with the Methodist church in Haiti to identify needs in local communities.  Mission teams are invited to help the locals rebuild homes and reconstruct churches or church related agencies (i.e. orphanages, clinics).
