In case anyone is just joining in at this point in the story....
Auberge des Vieillards is a residence in Pignon, Haiti that cares for the elderly and disabled. It was originally the vision of a man named Pastor Abdon, who with his wife Lumide, serve in many roles with the Evangelical Missionary Church of Haiti. Not only do they lead and love a congregation in Pignon, but they carry the leadership mantle of supporting all the EMC pastors in Haiti.
The expanse of their hearts has included a desire and a drive to extend care to vulnerable people who would otherwise be homeless and begging. This is possible because they have cast their vision to their local church community, have assembled an organized Executive Team, and arranged for the care staff and other volunteers who now tend to the daily needs of currently ten residents.
Where Highview comes in is that we were able to help build the facility that is no Auberge des Vieillards, a years-long project that has come into this beautiful manifestation of God's goodness and grace played out in real time.
As we prepare for our annual Haiti Dinner and Silent Auction on February 22 (see details below), we are delighted to share some of the faces of the A des V resident.
In Pastor Abdon's own words.....
He suffers from kidney disease, despite many medications, the problem still persists."
We invite you to join us in partnering with Pastor Abdon and Madame Lumide in this astonishing manifestation of God's goodness.
