Children

Hunger and thirst? These children hunger and thirst for not only food, but relationship. What a treasure our children are. Charrette School currently has approximately 230 students.

Giants

Many things in our lives seem like giants that would overcome us. We serve an almighty God who the giants pale in comparison to. Put your trust in God.

Heart Issues

Heart issues are best resolved at the foot of the cross. When our heart is touched or torn, it can be strangely warmed at the cross.

The power of water is beyond imagination! From flooding the earth to turning a Mill Wheel, each with a purpose. Invite the power of God through His Spirit to move in you and the results will be beyond imagination, for eternal purposes.

Misty Web

Illuminated with moisture clinging tightly to each strand, this web calls to it's victims. Temptations come in many forms, be cautious where you go in mind, body and spirit.

The best is yet to come... Eternity with our Savior. For but a few years we will walk this earth, with choices to make. Make a choice for Christ!

White as Snow

What a visual image the Lord has given us - White as snow - To be cleansed, fully clean, no spot or blemish. Seeing a fresh snowfall is a reminder we can be cleansed "White as snow".

Setting Sail

The path we choose to follow sets a course for our lives. Following His light and leading, being directed by His perfect will, sets us on a path for eternity. See 1 John 1:7

Desert

Even in the driest seasons of our lives God shows His beauty. Desert flowers bring beauty in the midst of sticky situations. Imagine the beauty He is revealing in you!

View

An up close and personal view reveals much, but we must pause long enough to really see what's right in front of us. Set time aside to pause, asking the Lord to reveal something we may have missed before.

Steps

In your daily walk, take steps of faith. Reach for new heights as He leads. See Matthew 8:13

Inside

When you really get to know someone, you get a glimpse inside. Take a chance and let someone get to know you. Sharing what's inside is really freeing.

Hope for Haiti the story..

Hope for Haiti was Incorporated January 25th, 1993 and is a registered 501(3)(c) non profit organization that was established on January 23rd, 1995. Jon and Diane Seitz as well as Tim Whorl founded Hope for Haiti with the intention of “Promotion of giving and contributions to provide relief for needy Haitians”. Hope for Haiti was founded in Glen Rock, Pennsylvania. In 2008, most of the administrative and logistical services were moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee with Jon and Diane still providing oversight for Hope for Haiti from Pennsylvania.
In 1990 Jon and Diane Seitz planned a trip to Haiti with their daughter. Just before their departure their daughter came down with Chicken Pox and plans were changed allowing a door to be opened. Their travels went forward but with a empty seat as their daughter stayed home. On the flight into Haiti, their first, the passenger that filled that seat would forever change not only their lives but many others as well. Being their first trip into Haiti this passenger was concerned that they make the connection at the airport and the journey had begun. They swapped contact information and the rest is now history in the making. 1991 brought another trip back into Haiti for Jon then in 1992 Tim went with Jon and talk started about setting up this ministry. While visiting in 1992 the conversation was started about the possibility of child sponsorship for helping insure that children be able to attend school. After arriving back in the states the paperwork was drawn up and filed to incorporate Hope for Haiti as a Domestic Nonprofit Corporation. The trips continued and after seeing the needs from year to year at Bois Neuf Church/School their contact invited them to a nearby community called Charrette. Charrette sits above St Marc in what might be called foothills with a partial view of the bay below. This had opened another door and the tent pegs were about to be expanded. Hope for Haiti's focus had been primarily with Bois Neuf and now it seemed good to reach out beyond there. 1998 there was a stirring going on and a community that was mocking the people of the church saying “where is your God?” was about to change. Charrette church would soon be meeting inside a building instead of under a tree. A trip was organized and planned and in 1999 a Youth Group from Pennsylvania brought much encouragement by working right alongside their brothers and sisters in Christ building what is now the Church/School at Charrette. This was the beginning of a new season for Hope for Haiti and how it would be challenged to continue to reach beyond anything that could have been imagined in those early days. Working alongside a Pastor and Friend that is passionate about God and helping others has and is making this a labor of love. The ministry in Haiti “Evangelical Living Water Ministry of Haiti” or EMEVI has now expanded to include 7 churches and schools with around 1200 students. Today Hope for Haiti continues with it's mission to Promote the giving and contributions to provide relief for needy Haitians. Many have come alongside and through their generosity people's lives are being touched and changed. Teams continue to go providing encouragement and hands to help. Buildings are being built, jobs are created, medical clinics and of course children are being sponsored and educated. Remember that empty seat on the plane? Well Marcel Destine continues to touch many lives and is making a difference. You never know when that divine appointment may come or where it might lead, that is still a work in process.

Hope for Haiti...

a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, located in Glen Rock, PA, with administrative and logistic functions being handled in Chattanooga, TN, works with the ministry EMEVI (Evangelical Living Water Ministry of Haiti). Marcel Destine oversees EMEVI which includes 7 churches, 5 of which are also schools, and are located in and around St Marc, Haiti. We pray this may be used to get the word out to those whose hearts are being tugged on, to come alongside some of the poorest people on earth. Hope for Haiti raises support through sponsorship of children which helps provide for schooling, meals and supplies for schooling. EMEVI info.
