Bethel Ministry Makes it 3rd trip to Haiti




We are a Humanitarian relief fellowship that grew from our on the ground efforts with those who were displaced from hurricane Katrina. 
Several members of our fellowship went down after the earthquake to perform a needs assessment. We decided to help sponsor a school and to help garner medical supplies and staff to run a clinic once a year in Francios. There is not a universal public education system for the most part in Haiti, you have to pay for schooling, the problem is the average Haitian makes less than $500 dollars a year so they can not send their children to school the so you have over 80% of your country illiterate and starving. 
We have for the last five years sponsored a financial freedom workshop for the residents of Chester and Chester Township, participated in gun buy backs, sponsored two Chester elementary schools with movie Family Fun packs for their High achieving students, and we currently help feed, clothe, and provide job leads and D & A counseling with Door of Hope Ministries every Saturday morning at Connect in Upper Darby.
We have made a five year commitment to help out by training teachers and trying to organize a clinic. We always welcome people to assist either financially or with manpower ,they can go down with us our our partner organization to see what they are investing in. 
Our website is BethelMinistryonline.org  you can get a feel for who we are and what we do, if you have any other questions you can call me
