At the Time of this Writing...
As you know, the little country of Haiti is at war internally and thousands have died from gunfire, hunger and disease, massacres, kidnapping, and torture. Tens of thousands have been displaced from their homes...fleeing to the mountains to escape the gang violence that is ravaging communities in the capital city of Port-au-Prince and that has spread to some outlying urban and rural communities. The political unrest has not been reported in the larger news media but photos and editorials can be found on the internet when you Google "Haiti News".
Our church mission, Mercy Outreach Ministry International Inc., (www.mercyoutreachministry.org) has been ministering in Haiti for over 21 years. The current civil unrest has forced us to relocate our home office to a remote location for the safety of our project manager and his family. Our project manager and his family of 5 had to flee for their lives from their home and our office. At this moment they are in hiding in a small room in a safe house waiting to escape to the mountains to an undisclosed place for safety and resettlement.
MOM is desperately in need of funds to relocate our faithful manager and his family to this remote location that is safely accessible by a small plane. Gangs control the roads and are robbing and kidnapping refugees fleeing for their lives. This relocation means that our mission can continue building a multipurpose facility for a church and school and supporting sustainable technology projects without the fear of death from gang violence.
I was able to get funds to them by transfer via bank to bank for transportation by plane. However, 3-5 days are required for clearance of these funds in Port au Prince. In the meantime, MOM needs donations to transfer for additional transportation after arrival by plane to the new site. Money to purchase food and other necessities (lodging included) is also needed for the relocation. They will be traveling basically with only the clothes on their backs because of the aircraft’s limitations.
Please consider donating to this life-and-death emergency. Our project manager has risked his life on several occasions over the years to keep us operating in Haiti. We cannot fail him nor the Haitians in remote villages who are depending on us to bring hope and education to these locations.
Please understand that we cannot disclose the exact details at this time. Precautionary measures must be exercised until order is restored in this country. We need your prayers and your donations to save lives and bring hope to our brothers and sisters in Haiti. We desperately need your help. The following options are available for making your tax-deductible donations:
1. Credit/Debit card donations may be made by selecting the DONATE button at the top of this page or any other page on MOM's website.
2. Checks may be mailed to Full Gospel Church of the Lord's Missions or (FGC/LM) c/o 4305 Byers Street, Capitol Heights, Maryland 20743
To prevent tracking of our movement by criminals we will post specific information and progress on the website when it is deemed safe. We appreciate your sharing this information with everyone you know (fraternities, sororities, churches, businesses, etc.). Thank you in advance for your generous financial support and prayers. Yours in Christ and Love,Bishop Judy Ann FisherPlease feel free to contact me via email at mom@mercyoutreachministry.org
