Haiti: Jessica Howle ’12

I recently traveled to Haiti on a mission trip with But God Ministries. While I was there I worked in a medical clinic and helped with their agriculture missions. But God has come up with a way for the villagers to pay for their everyday needs. EGGS!!! That’s right eggs. Each family in the village gets six chickens and then they can use the eggs that they lay to pay for what the family needs. It is a win-win situation for bot the villagers and the Hope Center. The Hope Center now doesn’t need to buy eggs for the missionaries and the villagers can get what they need without worrying how they are going to pay.
