Many years ago, when Vaugelas Pierre passed by LaCroix, he wondered about the existence of the people of that community—how they lived, what they ate, what they drank, and how they survived. God challenged him with this verse:
The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the Harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field. Matthew 9:37-38
It has been the vision and dream of Pastor Pierre to make a better life for the people of Haiti. Since being called to serve in the Lord's harvest field at LaCroix near the end of 1975, God had made it clear to Pierre that He wanted a school for children whose parents couldn't afford to send them. Since that time, he has seen the schools grow from less than 200 children to over 1800 by Miraculous Provision!
Through a new program established to assist the children and their families, you may have Pastor Pierre purchase a 100 lb. bag of rice for $35.00 and/or a 100 lb. bag of beans for $50.00 and distribute the food to your child. This amount of food will feed a family for several months. To participate, you may send a check to Westminster Presbyterian Church and indicate in the memo part of the check that it is for the Rice & Bean Project with your child's name and sponsorship number.
