Greetings in the Wonderful Name of Jesus!

We are so excited to tell you that on June 27th, Pastor Eleanor Kalinsky (Pastor of the Full Gospel Interdenominational Church
 in Manchester CT and President of World-Wide Lighthouse Missions Inc.), Adrienne Lautenbach (WWLM T.E.A.C.H. Director), along with Mable Saunders and Dorry Judd will be traveling to Haiti to partner in ministry with  Mission of Hope International.

 Mission of Hope International was founded in March of 2000, in the village of Thozin, Grand-Goâve, Haiti, by Pastor Lexidan and Renée Edmé along with their two children Alexis and A Jay.  The Edmé’s came to Grand-Goâve with a vision to positively impact the population spiritually, physically and emotionally. The first work to begin was spiritual, with a church planted in the front yard of a dear elderly gentleman named Pastor Bauvais Gabriel. He welcomed MOHI with open arms and an open heart. At this same time preparations were being made to open the mission’s first school, with preschool through 3rd grade students, including children ages 3 to 17.

Pastor Lexidan was born and raised in Haiti and had moved to the US for several years prior to returning to Haiti to start the Mission. Because he is native to the Haiti, he understands all the little nuances and language that foreigners may never pick up on. Being American, Renée brings a different sense of order and accountability to the mission. Working together, Lex and Renée have brought a wonderful balance of Haitian/American values and skills to the mission field.
Many people are still in need!
After 11 years in Grand-Goâve, they are esteemed by their community and are known for being fair, sharing food and supplies with everyone, no matter their religious or political beliefs. They also are not easily taken advantage of, since Lex already knows all the tricks people are accustomed to playing on foreigners.

World-Wide Lighthouse Missions has been a proud supporter of Mission Of Hope International for many years. Pastor Kalinsky, Adrienne and the team are very excited to put their feet where their hearts and prayers have already been.
Feeding!
                        
Educating!
Adrienne recently said "I can't wait to get around the children and just hug them and love them." This truly sums up the hearts of the entire team. While in Haiti the team will take part in the St. Etienne Campus Elementary School and the Thorzin Campus High School graduations. This team will preach, teach and sing at the Annual Pastor and leaders conference that Mission of Hope sponsors. This conference in open to pastors all over Haiti and everyone is expecting a mighty move of God! Please keep this team in your prayers; we know that their hearts will be enlarged with all the things they will see, feel and experience. Every time they walk through a village or embrace a child it will be another testimony they can share of God's faithfulness. We know that God is going to do great things through them and we would like you to keep this team in your prayers.
