Olivet Baptist Nov 2011
This year a 12 member Olivet Baptist Church
Mission Team traveled to Pignon, Haiti November 10-17, 2011.
We had 6 first time to Haiti people and it was a great
experience for all.
Our primary work project was building 40 school
desks and delivering them to a school at the poor
rural village of Santiak. It was a great thrill to
watch the school kids interact and help with the
final assembly of the desks. They loved the power
drill--that was a new experience for them.
Our other work project was finishing the tile
floor on the rooms below the hospital dorm. With
much hard work from our guys and the help of
Haitian labor we finished the entire area
including the stairway to the dorm.
Last--but not least--we did several teaching,
reading, singing and activity projects at the
library. It would be wonderful if each mission
team visiting Pignon would plan some library
sessions throughout the week. As you know most
of the kids do not have their own textbooks at
school and the library is a whole new concept
for them. However, as they get acquainted with
the library resources, it is our prayer this might
be a learning tool that will have a positive impact
on their lives and the lives of the next generation.
The week in Pignon and surrounding areas
was a great experience for our first time to
Haiti friends and an equally great experience
for those who had been there many times. We are
so glad God allowed us to spend this time with
His people in Haiti. Our conclusion--as a result
of this trip some area of our life will be changed
forever.

Reverend Janice Brown-Corbett led at team to Pignon.
This is an account of their trip that was submitted in her words.
On October 7-14, a mission team left for Haiti, to do ministry
in the northern mountains fo Pignon, Haiti. The fifteen member
team of the "Hearts 4 Haiti Missions Ministry", were from
Washington, DC, Virginia and North Carolina.
While in Pignon, the team sponsored a two day conference
for women and children. For the two days there were 350
women and 700 children in attendance. Activities for the week
included preaching, teaching Bible Study, praise dancing, English
and French singing, and recreation for the children. Each day at
the convening of the conference, all attendees were fed a hot, h
ealthy meal. The team also ministered at Hoptial de Bienfaisance,
gave out Creole Bibles, clothes, and shoes, and served each patient
a hot meal. Among the volunteers was a medical doctor and two
registered nurses who worked daily in the hospital. We provided
100 toothbrushes and toothpaste to the Dentist in Pignon. We also
had the opportunity to minister to a prison inmate and served him a
hot meal and a Bible.
Each morning at 6:00 a.m., the team walked through the streets
of Pignon, evangelizing to the people, gave out Bibles and tracks
printed in Creole. Four nights of revival were held in different
churches, where members of the team were the guest preachers.
School supplies were given out to schools and 250 flip flops to an
orphanage. It was truly a mission trip that ministered to the needs
of the people, physically, emotionally and spiritually. "Inasmuch as
you did it to one of the least of these My brethren,you did it to Me."
Matthew 25:40

LARRY MADOLE
Promise For Haiti, Inc. is so fortunate to have Larry Madole serve as
a diligent volunteer! Larry has been volunteering his time and services
for over 15 years. He is the owner of Madole Construction Company
in Johnston, IA. Using his knowledge from the construction business,
Larry is able to provide guidance and service to the many projects in Pignon, Haiti.
His first time to travel to Haiti was in 1985 when he went with
"Witness Crusade". In later years, a friend named Steve Ross told Larry
about Promise For Haiti. Larry said, "The Lord touched my heart the first time
I was there. I liked what I heard the hospital was doing and I liked what Promise
For Haiti was doing." Two years after going to Pignon, the Board asked Larry to
help them choose the projects they wanted to do, supervise and check on the work.
Larry says that he loves working with the teams. He checks on their skill level and the
urgent needs in Pignon whether it is with the hospital, schools, projects with other
different churches in town, or with the farm to make it beneficial to the town.
Some of the current projects that Larry is working with are:
a septic system for the hospital and developing a laundry facility in a building
with machines so the workers do not have to wash outside.
a new school building (Sauvenette) which is close to being completed.
many maintenance repairs that include electrical, plumbing, and painting.
a renovation of an old dorm that would include a pharmacy and clinic area to
determine if a person needs to go to the hospital for further evaluation.
When asked what Larry's projections are for future development and projects
in Pignon, this was his reply. "I would like for them to learn to capture and use
rain water for agricultural needs, washing clothes, and for other things but not f
or drinking water. We need to get off of generators and hook up to the electricity in
town. This would keep us from using diesel fuel which will then lower the
costs. I would like to train someone at the hospital to help run the physical
plant and be able to tell what needs to be done."
Larry is traveling to Pignon this month along with a group of volunteers
who work for Meals From the Heartland. They will deliver meals to help with
the hospital feeding program and investigate adding on 2 more days to the
school meals feeding program as well. Larry says, "This organization packages
and delivers over 4 million meals a year. Many churches, schools and
organizations help with this throughout the year. They help with different
disasters in the U.S., Africa, refugee camps, and many places in need."
In closing, Larry says that he would recommend to anyone to get involved
with Promise For Haiti and help the hospital to be self sufficient. "We have
a few things planned down the road. It still needs a lot of things and changes
but I feel that God wants the work to go on. I would like for the hospital to stay i
n operation for a very long time!"
