Many Hands For Haiti

When was the last time you thought about the cement floor underneath the flooring of your home? Most people would probably answer never. Something we don't even think about here in America is a game changer for the people in Haiti. Not only does a cement floor look more aesthetically pleasing, but a cement floor changes Haitian lives. When we do a project like this, it provides jobs for local laborers, supplies are bought from local businesses, and it lowers intestinal diseases by 90%. It’s amazing how something so simple can be so life-changing! This home in the picture is the 1,118th one we have done through Many Hands, and we plan to do many more. If you would like to contribute to a project like this or would just like to know more info, message me and I would love to connect with you. #Cementflooring #home #lifechanging

Today is one of my favorite days, as I LOVE The Iowa Prayer Breakfast , attended by Governor Kim Reynolds, most members of the State of Iowa Government, and keynoted this year by Danny Gokey. It is POWERFUL to be in a room of 1,328 people from all pillars of society to dedicate the morning to prayer. Thank you to the steering committee chaired by S.J. Risewick. And thank you Matt Farmer and the National Christian Foundation for inviting me to your table. Tyler Kamerman, RICP? Marcena Schwab Pam Osborn Art Sathoff Melissa Nelson

Melissa Kauk, the U.S. lead of Haiti's First 1,000 Days program writes about her experience with the Stretch Out Your Hand campaign "Friday, June 16, I had the privilege to walk with the staff of Jean Boule to four homes to deliver rice, oil, and pasta to homes in the community that need support during these difficult economic times. Much more than food is delivered. A song of worship is sung, prayer is offered after a discussion of concerns and health issues mentioned. My heart hurts from the poverty I witness, and yet my heart is filled with awe as I watched our staff love and minister to the 'least of these'. One of the stick and mud homes we visited is the home of an elderly paralyzed women named Madame Zaboulout. She had already lost her only child and just recently lost her husband who took care of her. We found her lying on a dirty sheet on the ground in need of a bath and clean clothes. Our staff immediately had her lifted up to a chair, gave her a bath, someone in the neighborhood offered her a clean dress, and new bedding was laid out over her dirt floor. The food was given to a trusted neighbor to ensure Madame Zaboulout would receive daily food. My head was thinking 'this is just too much', yet at the same time 'this is what Jesus would do'. My heart is forever changed." You can continue to support this initiative by donating today: www.mh4h.org/stretch
