A Courageous Trip to Haiti -Intro

Recently I got to go to Haiti with a team of people from all over the United States (and Canada!)   This trip was the first in a series of trips put together by Shaun King of Courageous Church in Atlanta, GA.  The mission - to begin work on a new and improved Miriam Center as part of the A Home In Haiti initiative.  The goal of A Home in Haiti is to bring relief both physical & spiritual to the people of Haiti.  This organization is helping people in earthquake ravaged areas and people who weren't impacted directly by the earthquake but are suffering anyway.
First Phase - Tents
Many people in Haiti were left with no shelter after the earthquake.  A Home in Haiti was able gather the resources of caring people all over the country and send over 1.5 million dollars worth of tents to the people of Haiti

Phase 2 - The Miriam Center
This is an orphanage for children with special needs/ severe disabilities.  Right now the Miriam Center is overcrowded with children from the Earthquake.  This new center in will be both school and lodging for these children, but also a center of activity, learning and worship for the whole community.
Here is the Google Map - Google calls it Bonneou, it's actually Bonneau.

It's late, and I want to write so much more, but I'll have to save it for another day.
In the mean time consider supporting the work there.
Shaun has come up with a unique way of raising the rest of the money to build the Miriam Center.  It's a celebrity twitter fundraiser. 

If you want to help complete the project we started, go to

to bid on a twitter connection with a favorite celebrity.

Not into twitter?  That's fine!
