Homes 4 Haiti

Back in 2010, there was a devastating earthquake in Haiti. OMS has a lot of missionaries and ministries in this country, so we immediately knew we had to help. But we wanted it to be something practical. Thus, Homes 4 Haiti was born. I helped put together the original brochure for this project, encouraging teams to travel to Haiti for 1-2 weeks to build homes for families who had lost everything. This project has continued steadily for the last four years, and I just found out some cool statistics that I want to share.
