'Hands on Haiti'   February 13, 2025

Micah 6:8. “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.  And what does the Lord require of you. To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

From its inception, EI has encouraged young people to choose a career in missions, offering short and long-term service opportunities in cross-cultural ministry.  One program was 'Hands on Haiti.'  This was a unique summer missions experience that allowed young people to be on the ground, serving in communities and experiencing work in another culture.  Teaching sessions in Canada before they left for Haiti provided foundational knowledge for integrating well, for understanding culture differences.  This insight provided a basis for being able to accept and appreciate other people's
cultural norms.  Following the training,
the team would head off to Haiti for a summer of service. 

Mike Pritchard was a part of the 'Hands on Haiti' team in 1997.  Mike shared, "The most important thing was learning to trust God.  I learned what it was like to be a missionary. 
Looking back at this trip - the beautiful country, the warm climate, the people I befriended and, most importantly, the positive changes in my personal spiritual walk - I'm exceedingly grateful for the opportunity I had to go."

Where it all started

September 12, 2024

The Letters of Patent declaring Emmanuel Relief and Rehabilitation International to be a recognized charitable organization is dated September 11, 1975.  September 12, 2024 begins our 50th year, our Jubilee year!  In the Bible, every 50th year was a reset year, a year of rest. The Jubilee was a year of acknowledging Sovereign God, His grace, His provision, His heart for His people.  

With Samuel of old, on the 12th of September 2024, join us in raising our Ebenezer; for truly, ‘hitherto has the LORD helped us.” 

 I Samuel 7:12:  “Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far has the LORD helped us.”
