Haiti ministry helps as the country faces poverty

Haiti is at a low ebb. A new report shows poverty has forced over 200,000 children into slavery. There are more starving people in more desperate situations than ever before, reports MNN.

For Haiti With Love is working to meet the physical needs presently, but they enter 2010 knowing the sour U.S. economy has taken a heavy toll.

For Haiti's Eva DeHart says one of their donors, R. W. Caldwell, went home to be with the Lord. A staunch supporter, he often said, "When you need beans, let me know." DeHart said his help was a blessing, but his personal enthusiasm, notes, and words of encouragement were his real gifts.

For Haiti also recently learned that a donor foundation did not survive the recession. This agency will be closing their doors soon, leaving a $5,000 quarterly hole. The donation supplied medications and food to treat the children through the clinic.

For Haiti needs help to keep the doors of the clinic and feeding program open. DeHart says, "Bluntly, we need your help and are praying that you respond."

As the For Haiti With Love team responds to the physical needs, they are acting as Christ's hands and feet to those they're serving.
