The Tim Tebow Foundation has been blessed to come alongside the Hands and Feet Project in caring for Haiti’s orphaned children. Being on the ground in Haiti and witnessing the way they operate, it’s evident Hands and Feet is committed to bringing Faith, Hope and Love to some amazing kids and families in need.

“In the early hours of Monday, the president said the mandates of lower house deputies and most senators formally expired because no successors were elected in October after the troubled country failed to hold elections.” The expiration of senators means that President, Jovenel Moïse, now rules by decree. This motion stirs up plenty of opinions and unknowns for the Haitian people.

Join us in praying for our Haitian community at this time.

Rebekah Foshee has been a vital part of the Hands and Feet Project team since 2011. Most recently she has served as our IKONDO Director. She has played an integral role in the decisions made around IKONDO through a difficult year and she has done an amazing job. As we hit pause on IKONDO for 2020, Rebekah will be shifting her role to be the main contact for all of you who are wanting to share the story of Hands and Feet Project with YOUR communities. From speakers to community ambassadors, and everything in between, Rebekah will be your go-to for all you need as you go out! We are excited to see how our story is shared this year and we are grateful for Rebekah and her versatility within this team!

Last week our Grand Goave kids got to go back to school! Megan Hickey serves as Missionary Support Staff in Haiti, and she said it best: ⁠
⁠
“Yesterday was a good day. We’ve been praying for yesterday for months. Since September to be exact. Yesterday, a lot of schools in Haiti opened back up… Everybody was SO excited on Sunday to get their uniforms ready and backpacks put back together. These are the faces of an answered prayer. A prayer that we knew would be answered because He always answers, even if it’s with a “not now”. A prayer that seemed impossible at times, but we patiently waited. A prayer that we never gave up on. God is SO good y’all!”

Meet Patti and Marty Bearden, Hands and Feet Project’s Social Workers!

As Social Workers, Marty and Patti realized a system of “one size fits all” just doesn’t work. They carry a vision to see that every child’s plan will look and feel different, based on his/her strengths/needs/desires. The Beardens are excited to follow and assist with each child’s Individual Service Plan (ISP) process providing guidance and support along the way. Additionally, they look forward to continuing to work with HAFP staff to enhance the standards of care and provide each child the opportunity to reach his/her God given potential.
We’re excited to go into 2020 with this passionate duo. If you’d like to support them, visit the Our Team section on our website!

“Therefore we do not lose heart, but though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” ⁠
2 Corinthians 4:16-18

The current conditions in Haiti remain difficult; her people are suffering. Many view current conditions as the largest humanitarian crisis that we’ve seen since the 2010 earthquake. Resources are more scarce and now come at a high cost. However, Hands and Feet Project continues to serve over 500 meals a day, provides full and part-time employment for over 100 Haitians, and pursues deep and nurturing care for the children God puts before us. The Hands and Feet Project has been blessed with safety and protection from most of the violence that has occurred throughout the country, but everyday our financial resources become a little more depleted. I would personally like to ask you to consider making a year-end gift to Hands and Feet Project, beyond your already generous giving, to help us get through this time of crisis in Haiti. There are a couple of ways you can give. First, you can make a one-time tax deductible contribution to Hands and Feet Project that will directly go into our general fund for food and other provisions for our childcare. Second, you can sponsor a child. A great Christmas gift for a family is an annual sponsorship; involve your family in international missions and support a child in our Circle of Care. We are thankful for you and your continued support of Hands and Feet Project. Merry Christmas and may God continue to bless you and your family in 2020. Shannon D. Keeran Chairman of the Board Hands and Feet Project” \\ Today is the last day for Year-End Giving! Head to our website to donate.$
