Far Away Mission Projects

HAITI MISSION

Opened by St. Andrew UMC in 2005, Andrew Christian School sponsors just under 70 children in kindergarten - 2nd Grade. The school is located just outside Port au Prince, Haiti and is the pride of the community. The children are given the opportunity to go to school where they learn a Christian world and life view and how if affects decisions in their home, their community and their country. St. Andrew through the school assists in providing the students their school uniforms, books, tuition, one meal a day and special Edu-Pack backpacks filled with school supplies. St Andrew sends a team at least once a year to Haiti to help with the school. The team also joins up with other local UMC churches in area.
