The Chicks Have Arrived!!!

As of today, 10 families in Piton, Haiti, have a new chicken business.  They have 200 chicks to raise for 6 weeks.  After that, they will need to sell them in order to be ready for the next 200 chicks.

 

 

 320 bags of chicken feed arrives.

 All 10 families were involved in storing the food.

 We opened each box of 100 chicks.

For $3,000 your family can provide a chicken business for a Haitian family.  It is the opportunity of a lifetime for the Haitian family and your family.  They will earn money to feed their family, and you can teach your family that it is more blessed to give than to receive.

                                                   The first completed chicken coop!!!

As of today, August 15, 2012, four chicken coops have been completed!  The families are so excited to see progress for their new capital venture taking shape.  The first baby chicks, just one day old, are set to arrive on August 25.  The other six chicken coops will need to be completed before then. 

The second chicken coop.  Dad is off helping build another chicken coop.

Exciting news!!  The week after August 25, we will begin the process all over with 14 new families.  Thank you to our loving Heavenly Father, GVCM, Kore Foundation, Fish Ministries, and the Kellogg Foundation for partnering with our family in helping bring jobs to these Haitian families.  Providing food lasts for one meal, but self-sustainability lasts a lifetime!

The third chicken coop.

Thank you to all of our prayer and financial supporters!! This was not part of our original plan, but God knew that you would not only be bringing the joy of God's Word to this area through the radio and library, but also be helping these Christian families provide food for their families.

Do you want to learn about sponsoring a chicken coop family?

A $3,000 donation will provide a chicken coop for one family, which will then be reinvested in another family once that loan is paid off.
