North
American Haiti Partnership
Conference a Big
Success!
On
May 13th and 14th, the NAHP held its annual
conference in Marietta, Georgia at Hope
Presbyterian Church, bringing together
individuals and organizations from various
denominations who are committed to serving the
people of Haiti. Besides all the networking
opportunities and sharing of ideas and
resources, everyone was encouraged by the many
Haitian-Americans who also turned out and
provided their much needed perspective on
working in their native country. For more

Georgia Teams Make Mission Visits to Our
Compound
Shelly Boardman, Chaplain Ray Leatherman, and some of the
students from the Heiskell School in
Atlanta, Georgia traveled to La Plaine
during the month of May and provided
assistance and encouragement to our
Haitian orphans. Shortly following their
visit, a team of young people from
Prayer & Praise Fellowship in Woodstock,
Georgia, lead by Pastor Larry Baker (who
serves on our RHI board), also arrived,
providing Bible studies, pastoral
leadership training, and enjoying
worship with our Haitian brothers and
sisters. Thanks to both of these teams
for demonstrating the love of Christ to
His Haitian children!

Thanks to
Dios Protection Center of Jamestown, Michigan!
Reformation Hope and our partners in Haiti give
thanks to God and to our new friends from the
Dios Protection Center. While Dios primarily
works with disadvantaged children in Mexico, an
opportunity arose for them to assist our mission
to children in Haiti with a $20,000 gift. God
provides for our orphans in such amazing and
abundant ways through so many of His kingdom
servants!
