BON REPOS LINKING WORD WITH DEED By Bill Evans Missionary and Homes for Haiti Director Men for Missions The people of southern Haiti were rocked by the January 12, 2010, earthquake as many of our brothers and sisters in OMS-related churches lost homes to the devastation on that terrible day. When OMS asked our partners how we could best help them, they replied, “We need homes.” Since the summer of 2010, we’ve been building homes side-by-side with Haitian workers to help our church members have a restored sense of hope and dignity. To date, we’ve built more than 80 homes for people in those churches. Each of these houses is built by Haitians and non-Haitian volunteers who work together to bless the people in need. 28
