Dear Friend in Christ,

Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Have you ever felt hungry and couldn't decide what you wanted to eat? But, you at least knew that you had a choice? Have you ever heard anyone complain that there is nothing to eat? But, more than likely they do have some food in the kitchen; it's just not what they want or have a taste for.

Imagine being hungry and there really wasn't anything to eat at all. This is how it is for many in Haiti. When we think about the children who are our future generation we become saddened by the fact that their lives are interrupted by hunger. Without proper nourishment these precious children find it difficult to function normally in their daily lives. For those who attend school it is hard for them to concentrate. It's also hard for children help out with chores at home and even enjoy playing.

Here in Haiti it is common to see children on the streets begging. They are begging because they are hungry. It is very heartbreaking. Let us do what is right in the sight of God and do what we can for these disadvantaged children. It is not their fault that they are in this situation.

We all have the ability to help whether it be big or small. Some of you are blessed enough to help generously and some of you can help at a smaller level. Never look down upon a small donation because every dollar sent brings us one step closer to feeding a child in need. If we all pull together and give at the level that we are able then it creates a powerful force that advances the Kingdom of God.

Wouldn't it be nice to know that when you eat, a child in Haiti is eating with you? Imagine eating together at the dinner table because that is exactly what you are doing when you give to this serious cause. Imagine the smile you have placed on a child's face because his/her stomach is satisfied. But, we don't want it to be just a one-time deal. Our goal is to provide food on a daily basis with no interruptions. We would like your help in making this possible.

Pastor's, you can help by having your church send a monthly gift in whatever amount the Lord lay's upon your hearts to help feed these children. For couples, families, and individuals, you can help by adding another plate or more to your dinner table for a child/children in Haiti with a monthly donation in any amount that the Lord lay's upon your hearts.

We at, Caribbean Fellowship Ministries, thank you for all that you do for the glory of God! May each and every one of you be blessed above and beyond for your generous giving and unselfish ability to share with those less fortunate. Proverbs 22: 9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed: for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
