Emmanuel Haiti Missions Team
We have been going to Haiti for a few years now, and been involved in a number of projects - building a house, earthquake relief, soccer camps, medical help, establishing a computer school etc. In addition, we put on a VBS camp that included bible studies, crafts, music and sports, compound maintenance/repairs .

Latest Project - Barrels for Haiti.
We have been given an opportunity to fill barrels with medical supplies, clothes, school supplies and much needed food.
During this time, Covid19 is leaving an ugly footprint for the Haitians to navigate. Mission of Tears who we partner with, has arranged to ship barrels to the FEJ headquarters in Port au Prince and then on to the school in La Mardell, the orphanage and to about 150 families that they help.
The Haiti Committee of Emmanuel Baptist Church would like to thank everyone who contributed by praying, giving items or a donation to the, “Barrels of Blessings” project. Thanks to your participation we were able to fill six barrels with food, clothes, school supplies, shoes and medical supplies. Our friends at Foundation Enfant Jesus are excitedly awaiting the arrival of the much-needed supplies. Special thanks to Adam Holgate who loaded everything into his truck and van for us to take to Havelock to pack.
We want to thank Mission of Tears, under the leadership of Gordon and Dianne Lewis, for organizing this project. Thanks, from the packing team: Ashley Kirkham, Poppy Holgate, Donna Rodgers and Jenny Rodgers
