Ballantyne - Haiti, ADVANCE June/July 2017
Welcome to the ADVANCE June/July 2017 Forest Hill Haiti Trip page!
Our group of students from Forest Hill Church Ballantyne will be traveling to Titanyen, a village just north of Port-au-Prince with 13,000 residents, many of which resettled in the area after the earthquake. Our AIM partner, Mission of Hope, meets the physical and spiritual needs of the local communities by providing education about better hygiene, meeting the immediate physical needs of the village, and helping the church to play an integral part of empowering the community. Please join this trip or donate to help each of us go deeper in Christ as we follow His command to be His Church.
Trip Focus:
This is a FHC Advance High School Ministry trip and is only open to students, rising 9th grade and above. The team will serve alongside Mission of Hope in supporting the community and sharing the message of Christ's love.
