HEALING HAITI

The mission is to be God’s hands and feet, God’s work and God’s love to those in Haiti. The focus is on helping Haitians help themselves so they can keep their families together. Nativity Lutheran Church sent an intergenerational group on service and learning trips in 2015, 2017 and is planning a trip for January 2020 to serve the people of Haiti. We partner with Healing Haiti when we travel there. If you would like to know what a trip like this looks like, Click here for an introduction video provided by Healing Haiti. Trips are open to all adults and youth who have completed 10th  grade.
