As many may know, Florida’s First Assembly of God will be
hosting their 9thannual Kidz Musik Kamp this month. It has been a
blessing to them to be able to pour into the lives of the children and to be
able to teach music, Bible, and the different ways to worship our God. This
year Florida’s First Assembly is excited to be sending a team to Haiti where
they will be hosting their first international Kidz Musik Kamp.
In 2010, Florida’s First Assembly was preparing to send a
team to Port-au-Prince, Haiti where they would have held their
very first Kidz Musik Kamp, but we all know the tragedy that occurred on
January 2010 when Haiti was hit with a devastating earthquake.
Instead, they sent a team in to help with the aftermath of the earthquake.
They partnered with missionaries Bill and Dorothy Smith and sent
in three teams over the next two years to help rebuild one of the churches that
had been destroyed by the earthquake. In 2012, they completed the church and
attended the dedication of the newly rebuilt Meilleur Church which is now a
flourishing church with 600 members.
After 4 years, God has opened the door to complete what He had
started. Florida's First Assembly will be sending a team of 12-15 including
their worship pastor, Pastor Lyndsay Naranjo, back to Haiti July 7-14 to work
alongside missionaries Bill and Dorothy Smith once more. They will be working
in Cite Soleil, one of the largest slums in the northern hemisphere where
things can go from good to bad within seconds. There have been two other teams
from Florida's First Assembly that have worked in Cite Soleil as well, and they
have seen the desire the people have for God and the desire for change in all
areas of their life. How wonderful would it be to offer the children a week
full of joy in teaching them the importance of God and the importance of
worshiping God?
Daniel 12:3 says “Those who are wise will shine as bright as
the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars
forever.”
The people and children live in the poorest conditions with no
running water, any electricity, mosquito infested pools from the running
rainwater and many times with one meal or no meal for that day. But as we all
know, with God there is hope not just here on earth but an eternal hope in
heaven with Christ Jesus.
Would you consider partnering with us in taking the gospel to Haiti?
We will be hosting 100 children and 50 youth in a morning and afternoon
session. If you would like to partner with us here are a few ways you can do
so. Financial donations can be made to Florida's
First Assembly of God designated Haiti trip and mailed to Po Box 1658 Wauchula, FL 33873. We also
have a list of items that can be donated or a donation can be given towards the
purchase of these items. Some items are not listed-must be ordered or purchased
in Haiti. Please pray for the safety of our team, but most importantly that we
will be able to share the good news with the children and people of Haiti and
to equip them to have a life filled with hope.
