MTM HAITI OFFICE UPDATE

NEW AT MOUNTAIN TOP MINISTRIES:

"Blue" was purchased with donations given by the Terre Haute Triathalon Association and several individuals. "She" will assist the existing dump truck as we continue construction of the Gramothe Hospital.
Thank you for your giving!

PROSTESIS DONATION TO HELPING HANDS OF HAITI:

These prostesis and other parts were donated and brought to MTM by team members. We have been able to donate them to Helping Hands Of Haiti, an organization that assists with providing prostesis to those in need. The legs will most likely be dissassemble and used to provide a full fitting prostesis for someone in need.
Thank you for your giving so that others may walk!

CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR PRESCHOOLERS AT GRAMOTHE & DUMAY SCHOOLS:
Johanne was busy last week gathering up, sorting through & wrapping gifts for preschoolers at the Gramothe & Dumay schools. These goodies (candies, stuffed animals & miscellaneous toys) were brought & left by team members over the past months. Underwear & socks were also donated for the cause.
Thank you for your giving so that others (about 220 preschool students & 10 teachers!) may recieve!

LOOKING BACK OVER 10 YEARS!

Can you believe it? Ten years ago in the village of Gramothe there was only 1 crop each year, an old, broken down school that barely held & educated 19 children, no medical services, no potable water source, only candles to light their homes at night & 5 voodoo temples.

Today in the village of Gramothe there is a thriving Christian church with no voodoo temples in sight, a bustling school that is educating & feeding students from Preschool through high school, potable water lines throughout the village, 4 crops each year, solar lighting systems in homes & a medical clinic that services people from miles around & a plan in action for a hospital! Praise the Lord!
Though we recognize & give God the glory for all that has been done & all that will be done, we also recognize that it would not be possible without the help of many of our friends all across the United States & Canada. Your time, talents & treasures given have not been in vain. You have helped to build the village of Gramothe physically & spiritually all the while inspiring, igniting & sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ one life at a time, one village at a time. To you we say, "Thank you"!
To celebrate this special occasion, we have dug through pictures & are going to attempt to share some of them on this blog. They are in no certain order & we by far got everyone! Enjoy looking back & then moving forward with us! God bless you, & again, thank you!
