Countdown to Haiti

On July 7, a team of 13 missioners departs for Mizak, Haiti which is up the mountain from Jacmel. The team will work with a Methodist project named HAPI (Haitian Artisans for Peace International). The mission of HAPI is to empower the community and create sustainable programs. Some of the outreach programs of HAPI include a women's artisan group, children and youth ministry, and medical clinic. The community is in the process of applying to be a Methodist congregation.


The Chapelwood mission team will perform a dental clinic (the first ever for this region!), home visits by two CUMC nurse practioners, advanced training in sewing techniques and youth and children's ministry.



Thank you, Chapelwood, for the generous donation of toothbrushes and toothpaste!
