‘mission of hope’ update
Jan 27, 2010
I couldn’t be happier that MOH is where we have decided to direct our support. They are doing a GREAT job. Here’s an update:
Mission of Hope has distributed 1.5 million meals to the Haitian people since the earthquake hit. Last Thursday they distributed 391,056 meals almost doubling the efforts of the UN. They do all of this through indigenous church leaders and Christian ministries that make up over 1000 distribution points in a network MOH initiated called Haiti One. Haiti One represents 40 Christians NGOs, and hundreds of smaller missions and Haitian churches with more than 5000 full-time staff represented in it. They are rallied around the vision to reach the nation with the Gospel and during this difficult time have been extremely effective at bringing relief where it is most needed, distributing food, water, and temporary shelter. They were already in place and operating this network prior to the disaster and that is why they have been so successful. It is primarily driven by Hatians which is also the reason for their success. It is their own people meeting the needs. They know their culture, context, and the need.
