The Schmidt's Ministry in Haiti

Barbara has this message about the ministry of Tom and Ginger Schmidt in Haiti. Please help out in any way that you can.



Dear Friends and Family,

As you know, Tom and Ginger Schmidt and their children have sold
their home in Florida and moved to Haiti to serve God by building
Shiloh Children's Home, a permanent loving Christian home and
rehabilitative school for orphans who have lost limbs in
the devastation of the recent earthquake. Their needs are many and we
are hoping to be able to collect some much needed items to ship to
Harvest International Inc. in Florida, the Schmidt's sponsor
organization. From there, the goods will be shipped to Haiti.
The needs for right now are school supplies, twin sheet sets and
light-weight quilts. The sheets and quilts should be cotton. I know
there are some good sales on these items if we shop around. Items
should be washed first to soften them.

School supplies needed: Updated world globe and map, pens,
pencils, notebooks, scissors, glue, etc.

If you can help, please bring the item to church on Sunday or drop
off at my house so that we can get a box off by UPS within the next
week.

God bless you as you bless these children,
Barbara
