Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is sponsoring
our Fifth medical mission trip to Haiti.
We have been working with Three Strand Cord (www.3strandcord.org) in support
of their Oasis Project in Cap Haitian & Acul-du-Nord, Haiti since
2012. (Photo: Mission Team 2015)
The Oasis project
is designed to
create independent communities by setting
into motion the Wheel of Self-Sufficiency. This wheel has seven spokes:
1. biblical discipleship
2. clean water
3. renewable food
4. appropriate education
5. creating a viable economy
6. medical care
7. reliable power
Three Strand Cord
works to assist
short-term mission teams,
like our medical
mission team, within Northern
Haiti.
While we focus on the medical care spoke, we recognize the
importance of the other spokes. We will
help to support several medical clinics, including the clinic at CEDAN mission
in Acul de Nord, Haiti close to Limbe. CEDAN
Mission (www.cedanmission.org) is led by Pastor Henri Claude Robert in Acul de
Nord, Haiti. The
mission supports several schools, a seminary, a food
bank, a church
and a medical
clinic. Our church
first became acquainted
with Pastor Henri when
he visited our
Vacation Bible School
in the summer
of 2010. Pastor
Henri spoke passionately about
his country’s many needs, and he touched our hearts!
We will also work with Pastor Eliona Bernard in Cap
Haitian. He serves at First Evangelical
Lutheran Church of Cap Haitian, and they have a Medical Clinic and a large
school on their property.
Our goal is to serve over 1000 patients in mobile medical
clinics over 4 days. To view last year’s
video go http://gslcirvine.org/serve/mission-haiti/
Thank you for your prayers for our mission team!
Blessings,
Pastor Ryan Warne-McGraw
