A Thank You Letter from Pastor Abdon

 

$15,500.00 Raised in Support of our Friends at

Auberge des Vieillards in Pignon, Haiti!!!

We cannot say it loud enough, or big enough, or enough enough.

But even better if the Thank You comes straight from 

Pastor Abdon and the Church in Pignon.

From: The Ministerial Committee helping the elderly and disabled.

To: Highview Community Church which supports the Home for the elderly and disabled.

Greetings and Thanks.

Dear Sisters and Brothers in the Lord,

The Ministry Committee to help the elderly and disabled in Pignon greets you in the name of Jesus. The Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your dedication, hard work, and prayer to support the program that has been helping the elderly and disabled in Haiti for 4 years. Thank you very much.

The purpose of this letter is for the Haitian committee to send greetings and congratulations to all teams, EMCC, Brother Brian, Pastor Ruth Anne, Highview Church leaders and members, on a special day that Highview Church is raising money to support programs for the elderly and disabled. We thank God for the good deeds and these funds that help in taking care of the beneficiaries and continue to do some construction work that is not yet completed.

The AEM Haiti Mission, the Pignon Church, the elderly and all the disabled, the employees and the committee members thank you very much and hope that we will always remain steadfast in our efforts.

Please accept these thanks in Christ.

Pr. Abdon, Madame Lumide, Pr. St. Fleur, Deacon Cadil Joseph

What an amazing event all around, made possible by so many contributors and volunteers, 

all working together towards caring for vulnerable seniors in Haiti. 

 

And here they are.

Special thanks to our energetic and classy meal serve crew, pictured above.  Also to Lillian and the entire kitchen staff for the turkey dinner.  As well as Brian and all who contributed to the good selection of auction items.  Colin was once again our boots on the ground gathering donations for the meal.

Everyone who donated an item, made and/or served a dessert, cooked a turkey, set up a table, served a meal, purchased a ticket, set up a video, brought a table cloth, washed the dishes, peeled potatoes and carrots, vacuumed afterwards, decorated a bulletin board, lugged stuff up and down the stairs, purchased an auction item, made stuffing, or in any other way helped make it happen -- You rock!

Let's not forget to keep on praying for our brothers and sisters in Haiti, who serve God and live life in the midst of chaotic circumstances that continue to plague the country. 

Thank God for how His light pushes back the darkness in so many ways all around the world.

Remembering Sister Ariana

 

We are sad to announce the passing of one of our Residents at Auberge des Vieillards.

We have known her as Sister Ariana.

Our prayers are with those closest to her, her family, friends and caregivers, as they grieve her loss.

We are grateful for her presence with us, her life and influence, and that she was able to be cared for with dignity up until her final hours.

Introducing....

Mimose

We are delighted to introduce to you a brand new friend at Auberge des Vieillards.

Sister Mimose is 55 years old, a widow who suffered a stroke this year while coping with the loss of her husband and the chaos of gang violence in Port au Prince.  It appears that in the confusion of that time, her grown children escaped, but left her behind.  She was brought to Pignon by her sister and her nephew, to be cared for at A des V.

Such circumstances are hard to fathom, and we do not pretend to understand all the factors that contribute to this difficult story.  But we are glad to know that Mimose has been welcomed into a safe place where her physical, emotional and spiritual needs will be tended to.

Also, you may remember the young man named Jean-Richard who suffered a spinal cord injury at the age of 16 and had come under the care of A des V at age 25.  He has been able to find housing and separate support more suitable to his needs, and has moved on to what we hope will be a stronger future for him.  Another resident named Maprina has now returned to the care of her family.

These comings and goings are part of living a dynamic life of serving God in the care of the most vulnerable of His beloveds.  We continue to pray for the senior residents themselves, and all those who care for them.

Plans are underway for Highview's Annual Haiti Dinner and Silent Auction, coming up early in the New Year.  Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 21, 2025 and stay tuned for more details!!!
