Year End Campaign SUCCESS!

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who supported our Jwaye Nwel/Bon Ane (Merry Christmas/Happy New Year) Campaign Against Hunger! It's because of your outpouring of love that the Village of Hope and Marfranc Christmas celebrations were able to happen! 

It was an incredibly special day as all the Village of Hope orphans gathered around the table and enjoyed a huge Haitian Christmas dinner! They were so excited to open fun gifts together and each of the children received a picture of the family or families that sponsor them! Not only did the Village of Hope have the opportunity to celebrate the birth of Christ, the elderly and disabled folks in Marfranc were able to come together and share a Christmas meal as well. We were able to send them home with enough food to make it through the month of January!

Everyone truly felt remembered this holiday season because of your generosity and compassion. We are forever grateful for the immense support you have shown our Haitian family!

Join Us for a Meal Packing Event!

Come together with other New Life for Haiti volunteers around the area to pack over 10,000 meals to feed the hungry in the Grand Anse River valley of Haiti. All food packed will go directly to the children, elderly, and families that New Life for Haiti serves.

People are often asking us, "How can I help? If I can't go to Haiti, what can I DO?" Here's your chance! Join us for this FUN service project/ministry event. Come be a part of something wonderful as we pack nutritious meals together. Whether it is your church, scout troop, bible study group, family or you'd like to come on your own, we would love to have you join us for this impactful project.

The Meal Pack will take place on February 1st from 10am to 12:30pm at LifeSpring Community Church in Plainfield!

​Contact Marnie Van Wyk, New Life for Haiti’s Executive Director, to receive more information (marnie.vanwyk@newlifeforhaiti.org).

New Life for Haiti's Volunteer Spotlight:
Julie Wilson! 

This month's Volunteer Spotlight is Julie Wilson!

Julie Wilson first became involved with New Life for Haiti about 7 years ago. Her son-in-law, Neil Schori, asked her to come to Haiti on the medical team. She said, “At first, I told him no…I was too old, too everything, but he persisted. I caved and my life has not been the same since. I have been involved with New Life for Haiti as a medical missionary, a nurse on the medical team, but I also have engaged in child sponsorship, and loved helping with the shoe collection campaign.”

Julie became inspired by speaking with the founder of New Life for Haiti, Pastor Fran Leeman, on her first trip with the medical team. “He told me it's beginnings, it's story, it's vision. I found Fran to be the most inspiring, extraordinary leader I'd ever met. The whole experience came to me at a time that I was really having difficulty in church ministry. Fran helped me see the vision of the church and our life in ministry from a different perspective.”

Julie shared, “What I would tell anyone about volunteering or considering a mission trip, is simply JUST DO IT!  But, make it more than just a trip. Embrace the entire experience. Ask God what He is trying to teach them, how He is trying to grow them, and then watch Him answer that prayer. In becoming involved, they will learn things that they never expected. And they will be a part of the most extraordinary group of people they could ever want to be a part of.”

“I am so honored to be a part of this organization that I hardly have words to describe my deep love. I pray regularly for God to continue to grow this work. My family is involved which makes it even better for me. It seems to never leave us. Trust me when I say, the Haitians have taught me so much more than I give to them. I would give that experience to anyone!”

New Life for Haiti is incredibly honored and grateful to have you walking alongside us over the years, Julie! Thank you for blessing our brothers and sisters in Haiti and for your commitment to this work!
