Information about my travels
On Tuesday, March 19th, Missionary Flights International carried 4 passengers, including myself from the United States to Haiti. As there is so much turmoil in Haiti at this time, the flight experienced turbulence for the entire 4 and half hour trip giving us a preview of what was to come. We landed safely in Cap Haitien to clear through customs and then continued our journey to our final destination in Pignon, Haiti. Unfortunately, people here are starving. I am grateful to MFI because I had an opportunity to bring in some ramen noodles, dry milk, peanut butter and medical supplies for 100 people but it's just not enough. The people all over Haiti are struggling because of the violence in Port au Prince. It has blocked aid and everyday necessities from getting to small villages because there is no gas to travel. Staple products such as rice, beans and oil are too expensive to buy when they are available so families are going without.
Habitat For Children Ministries is about 3 and half hours from the capital of Port au Prince but we are feeling the effects through the widespread hunger. We know that we can't feed everyone but the more help that we can get, the better the people of Haiti will be. I have been talking with people in the United States for future food shipments but the Haitian families need help now. We at Habitat want to continue our efforts in helping as much as we can for as long as needed because we know of the political hardships that continuously affect this country.

Great news report on what is happening in Haiti
Great article about What we are doing in Haiti
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. —
As so many people scrambled to leave Haiti, a Port St. Lucie man fought to get himself back in.
Meschac St Amour is a native Haitian who now lives on the Treasure Coast.
He is the president of a Port St. Lucie organization called Habitat for Children Ministries, which serves children in Haiti.
Port St Lucie nonprofit struggling to get supplies to children in Haiti
St Amour was able to get a missionary flight to Haiti on Tuesday, expecting the worst when he landed.
He said he still wasn’t prepared for what he found.
“It’s much worse than what I was thinking,” he said.
St Amour brought with him supplies for the country, including 1,500 pounds of food.
He is carefully giving it away where it’s most needed, though he had planned to share it with everyone.
“It can’t work like that. That’s what we were hoping,” St Amour said. “But it can’t work like that. Because right now, you’re going to start something you can’t finish.”
St Amour said his village is far away from the Haitian capital of Port au Prince.
That’s where the majority of the violence has been over the last several weeks.
St Amour said there’s no violence where he is, but they are still suffering.
“A shortage of food, gas,” he said. “Anything you can think of to feed a family.”
St Amour said most people are unable to find medicine or medical care.
These shortages are why he left the Treasure Coast to return to Haiti.
He said he wants to help however he can until Haiti can once again recover.
“Haiti is not going to die,” he said. “There’s some that are going to believe in it, and some that are not going to believe. But I believe one day, Haiti is going to come back.”
St Amour is asking those who want to help to do so through his organization’s website.

Food and Music from 6-8PM
We are serving Pancakes with all the toppings and bacon!
Seating will be outside under string lights with live music.
Our hope is that we would sit with good company and make new friends while growing closer together.
Here is the History of the Fat Tuesday
Mardi Gras refers to events of the Carnival celebration, beginning on or after the Christian feasts of the Epiphany (Three Kings Day) and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday, which is known as Shrove Tuesday. Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday", reflecting the practice of the last night of eating rich, fatty foods before the ritual Lenten sacrifices and fasting of the Lenten season.
Related popular practices are associated with Shrovetide celebrations before the fasting and religious obligations associated with the penitential season of Lent. In countries such as the United Kingdom, Mardi Gras is more usually known as Pancake Day or (traditionally) Shrove Tuesday, derived from the word shrive, meaning "to administer the sacrament of confession to; to absolve".[3]

Family Meals, Inc. was launched to help Treasure Coast families understand the importance and value of sharing family meals. We do this by providing meal ingredients, and table-talk materials to help the working poor prepare and enjoy family celebrations for three special occasions throughout the year. Uncooked meals are delivered to the doors of those families so they may prepare the meals themselves, in the privacy of their homes, allowing them dignity and respect they deserve.
As we continue to grow, it is important that we have adequate funding to underwrite our programs.
To help us offset expenses as the community needs grow please help us by attending this gala.
