This is our new logo.  It was decided that we needed a logo that reflected our ministry.  The meaning of this logo is, The waves of compassion washing over Haiti.  Check out our website to see how we have incorporated our new logo with parts from our old website logo.

As 2012 is behind us, I thought I would reflect & share on this past year. We became incorporated at the end of August. Immediately we started working with missionary Julienne, who is our eyes & ears in Haiti, directly overseeing all of our projects. We have unofficially adopted the poor farming village of D'Ourvey Haiti to be our starting village. Since August, We have started 2 different feeding programs. The Saturday program was the first project we started. This fed the school children a weekend meal as we found out that many kids were not eating on the weekend. Later in the year, We started a Sunday program that anyone was welcome to attend. This was done at the church, feeding the villagers both spiritually & physically. Through these 2 feeding programs, We have been able to provide approximately 750 individual meals since we started.

In November, we were able to start a medical clinic using Dr Reginald Kreolle, who travels to Haiti once a month for 2 separate medical clinics. Through this clinic, 65 people have been seen & treated for various ailments. Many of these people had never seen a medical doctor in their life. Many of the patients are being treated with medicine that we were able to purchase from a catholic medical agency in the Dominican Republic at deep discounted prices. The clinic & the medicine is provided free of charge to these people.

In December, We were blessed by a anonymous sponsor who agreed to a matching contribution for each pig that someone sponsored in our pig program. We had a great response to that with 15 pigs donated by sponsors & the additional matching pigs. What a great blessing this is for this very poor village.

We have sought God's Guidance with our ministry & let him open and close the doors. At times, some things do not seem to make sense, but we have learned to trust him. I can bring myself to tears thinking how he has blessed our ministry. I do not know what direction 2013 will lead us, But I am sure it will continue to be a blessing as much for us as it is to those that we serve.

In closing, I would like to thank everyone for your support this past year. Your financial support, prayers, thoughts, ideas, conversation & friendship is what made this all happen. From all of us at You Have A Choice Ministries, Thank you & We wish you a Blessed New Year!!

Haiti Flooding

Just received word from our friend Deb.  As many of you know, Julienne is the missionary in Haiti we work with.  Dr Kerolle came to run our first time medical clinic.  Please keep them in prayer as this plays out.  I will pass on more news when I hear it.  The following is the email I received from our friend Deb.  www.youhaveachoiceministries.org

EMERGENCY REPORT: 
Just got word from Julienne, she is stranded in Haiti in the massive new flooding that started on Thursday, she has been assisting many flood victims with funds she had for other projects and we are PRAYING that our suppo

rters will help replace these funds.
She and Dr. Kerolle did have the two clinics, but other programs had to be put on hold. The mission house was flooded somewhat on the first floor. She did help in Paulette, but could not make it out to Phaeton, the condition of D'Ouvre is not known at this time. Phaeton was hit very hard. Cap Haitien is also flooded massively, many have drowned. No report yet from our orphanage, but I am sure she would have said something if it was in danger The orphanage has a flat rooftop with two staircases.

Will keep you updated as I get news. Julienne will try to come back to the D.R. today. Keep her in prayer. Thank you.
