The Parkwood Gardens Church is happy to join with other congregations of the United Brethren Church in Canada in impacting the country of Haiti for Jesus! The denomination's Global Outreach Leadership Team sponsors missions trips to Haiti to work with the pastors and people of our 30 United Brethen Churches there.

We also partner with CH Global (HQ in Kitchener, ON) to provide support for children, families and communities in Haiti, particularly to those at risk and those with disabilities. A child sponsorship program is an effective vehicle for this support for these precious little ones.

After last year's earthquake that devastated the country, our own Jeff Gordon joined a small group of leaders on a fact-finding mission to see what could be done to rebuild the ministries of our partner churches. As a result, mission teams have worked on construction projects in Port au Prince. Future teams will help rebuild two U.B. churches in Cite Soleil that were demolished, plus build schools and churches around the country.

Canadian teams travel to Haiti every year to do medical ministry and construction work along side the Haitian people. Contact the church office if you're interested in joining this team.

Parkwood Gardens' own Kara-Lynn Ferguson is now in Haiti for a least a year, working at the Mission of Hope orphanage near Port au Prince.
