One Year Later: Update from Haiti
Living with the Threat of Cholera
By Mark Ottenweller, M.D.
Dr. Mark Ottenweller in Port-au-Prince, Haiti reported the following to Hww's CEO:
Singing with the church in Port-au-Prince, Haiti at exactly the time and date of the earthquake one year ago. We just read Matthew 11:28-29 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. It is moving, inspiring and encouraging to be with all the members of the church. God is amazing and he has done amazing things to “bind up the broken-hearted.”

Dear Friend of HOPE worldwide,
As we enter 2011, I want to express my deep appreciation for the multitude of friends and partners who have responded to the needs of the poor during the past year. I am also pleased to report that your generosity enabled us to meet and exceed our year-end matching gift goal of $50,000. I am humbled by the degree of trust that so many continue to display by their sacrificial gifts of time and finances to help others – both here at home and across the globe in HOPE worldwide. Trust like this can only be built by a truly compassionate team of volunteers, supporters and partners. I am thankful for the important role they have played in our work.

Summer of Service 2010
$1.4 Million Donated for Disaster Relief Since September
In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty. Psalm 37:19
Disastrous typhoons flooded the Phillipines last September and the most destructive earthquake ever devastated Haiti last January. Out of their abundance and out of their poverty, disciples and churches around the world gave over $1.4 million to serve the Christians and the community.
Thank you to the tens of thousands of you who have given sacrificially over the years to plant churches and to support HOPE worldwide. Because of your sacrifice, these churches and HOPE projects were already in place and able to respond immediately to serve.
Reflections on the 2010 Global Summit

“…had an incredible time at the HOPE [worldwide] Global Summit...I don't use the phrase life changing often - but this sure was.
