BUNKBEDS for HAITI

I am often asked how a small congregation can be part of the Haiti Ministry without making a monthly commitment of support.
Well here it is.....................


Immanuel Lutheran Church Richton Park along with the Richton Park Community bought a used school bus which we will use as a shipping container to send large items to pastor Isaac in Haiti.


This is a rare opportunity for us to have such a large space to ship needed items to Haiti so we decided to take advantage of it by shipping the much needed BUNKBEDS that the children will use when the addition on Pastor's house is finished next year.

We found white pine bunkbeds at IKEA for $159.00 each. The mattresses are extra and they have 20 available right now if we want them. We do not have to pay tax and we will pick them up ourselves.

So if we can get 20 congregations to donate $300.00 we will have enough beds for the 30 Orphans and the guest room where mission teams will stay in the future.



We would like to thank Immanuel Lutheran Church and the Richton Park Community for the FEST they sponsored last Saturday.

All proceeds went to pay for the cost of shipping the bus to Haiti.

Please consider a donation for this cause.

These children sleep on a concrete floor in Pastor's home right now. These children have never had a bed to sleep in! Can you imagine the excitement when they get to sleep in their very own bed for the first time?

Please help make this happen NOW. If the bus leaves before we can raise the money for the beds it will be too costly for us to ship them.
