There will be Haitian food, music and handmade items from Haiti with 100% of donations going directly to Haiti, and no overhead costs.

Hosting the event will be Jeff Davis and Lynn Bain.

In 1982, Pastor Francois and Madam Romelus, a Haitian couple, started the church with four biological children in Pignon, Haiti, located 90 miles north of Port-au-Prince. The Romelus’ starting taking in orphans and eventually an entire separate house had to be built for all the kids to sleep in.
Along the way, they developed a school, sewing center, orphanage and church, located on a 2-acre property. With almost 50 children in the orphanage, 15 women at the sewing center, and 250-300 children are provided with free or extremely discounted tuition.

Pastor Francois and Madam do not know what income they will have from month to month.

Due to lack of ongoing financial support, they do not know if they will have enough money to buy adequate amounts of clean water, food, school/sewing center supplies, medical help, and wages for workers and teachers for the school and orphanage.

Denny and Abby Bain traveled to Haiti in 2011, and now want to bring awareness and financial support to the outstanding work being done by Pastor Romelus and Madam.

The mission of Denny and Abby Bain is to Provide Pastor Francois and Madam with sufficient financial support to cover the costs of basic needs for the orphans, sewing center, school, and church.

Their overall vision is to help provide the people of Pignon with clean drinking water, sufficient food, sustainable income through micro-financing, student loans to pursue education, and libraries to expand knowledge and grow.
