Haiti 2012 Initiative

Our goal is to sponsor a church plant in Haiti by 2012.  Working toward that goal, NPC participated in missions trips in 2009, 2010 and in 2011.  Please consider being a part of this cross-cultural ministry.
Why:  
1)    To continue the building of relationships and cultivating vision for partnering with El Shaddai Ministries International (the Haitian Ministry arm of MNA) in preparation for more long-term, extensive ministry in Haiti.  Our goal is for NPC to sponsor a church plant in Haiti by 2012.
2)    To encourage and provide assistance for the ongoing ministry in Haiti.
3)    To give pastors, leaders, and laypeople in CMP churches an opportunity to experience first hand the exciting and exponentially growing ministry of the gospel in Haiti.
4)    To cultivate a greater spirit of unity among the churches of Chicago Metro Presbytery (CMP) by cooperating in missions ministry together.
5)    To spiritually encourage and challenge the members of the CMP churches with a vision and passion for the work of mission in general. 
6)    Our current relationship with New Hope Haitian Community Church of Chicago (PCA) makes Haiti a natural mission focus for the CMP.
 What: The following are services we anticipate providing on these trips but specifics will be determined based on those who step forward and their gifts and passions:
1)    Medical Ministry Team.
2)    Children’s’ Ministry Team.
3)    Preaching and Training Team (to preach in various Haitian church plants and training for Haitian pastors, elders, and deacons).
4)    Construction Teams (of schools, orphanages, churches, etc).
5)    Sports Outreach Team (soccer and/or basketball).
 Who: Anyone 15 years and older.
 Cost: Approximately $1,800 per person.
This covers cost of air fare (3 flights each way), room and board in Haiti, and cost of ministry materials.
