Our WORLD
MAEDH - ARCHER's orphanage in Haiti
Against all odds of the declining environment in Haiti, we are raising
awareness of the physical and financial needs of Haitian children.
Bringing them God's light and hope. Being God's hand extended to them.
Support MAEDH's Summer Camp for Orphans in Haiti:
Help the children at MAEDH attend summer camp this year.
The cost is $150 per child, and you can choose to support either half or the full summer.
Donations can be made in two ways:
* through the collection plate during the service
* or via an online donation on the Archer website.
You can find the link here: https://www.archerchurch.org/about-5.
UPDATE: Growing crisis in Haiti
The territory ruled by gangs continues to spread. MAEDH was blessed with luck and foresight to move to a more rural location and has avoided the gangs thus far. However, we left part of our management team in Carrefour and now they need to leave, and join us out in Leoganne.
Any help you can provide for their relocation and rent will be appreciated.
Please donate to Archer and note Haiti on your check or online submission.

ISLAND IMPACT - Island Impact Ministries
We believe that "faith without works is dead" so we share our faith by helping others in need by providing them with much-needed medical, food and housing assistance to the Haitian people of the Dominican Republic. These goals are accomplished through our local medical clinics, and hosting visiting teams and the generous donations of ordinary people.
Archer members have made over a dozen team trips to support the
destitute Haitian villages in the Western Dominican Republic.
The latest is 20 health care professional seeing over 1200 patients in March 2024

from the University of Northern Alabama.
