On January 28, fourteen members of Atlantic Avenue United Brethren Church (Franklin, Pa.) traveled to Titinyen, Haiti, to minister with Mission of Hope Haiti.
During their 7-day trip, they were involved in building new homes for people displaced by the January 2010 earthquake. Mission of Hope has been given 100 acres by the government on which they plan to erect 500 single-family homes.
The group also ministered at several orphanages. Jeff Corbett, an electrician, stayed an extra 2 weeks and made multiple repairs and upgrades at the Mission of Hope campus.
Atlantic Avenue plans to continue the work in Haiti through future trips.
