Third Annual Fèt Bondye Bò Lamnè K Wolf and Immersion Trip
June 30 - July 10

Epiphany youth will return to Haiti this summer to again host Fèt Bondye Bò Lamnè K Wolf (God’s Party by the Sea at K Wolf) for ultra-poor children in and around Jacmel. After the camp ends, the team will hold a day camp for children at Wings of Hope in Fermathe, and then travel to the Central Plateau to visit with families who are part of the Chemen Lavì Miyò project. Pastor Rick will lead the group, joined by two adult asset-builders.

A deposit of $750 is due by Sunday, January 15, to reserve your spot on the trip.  First-time participants need to have a brief interview with Pastor Rick prior to making the commitment. Youth who have completed 9th grade by Summer 2012 are eligible for the trip. There are great benefits for everyone who participates -- yet there also are great challenges. 

Epiphany's group this year will partner with youth from Abiding Hope Lutheran Church, under the leadership of Pastor Chad Johnson. Together, the team will make this summer's camp the best ever! 

The next gathering for the mission team is Saturday, March 3, at 2 p.m. at Epiphany. The team will meet with HTF partners for a planning session.  

Read below for a recap of last year's trip.

Team Haiti Mission Trip, July 2-12

Team Haiti is back from the 10-day trip to Haiti, where the group again led a "party " for the children of Haiti through our summer camp in Jacmel, Haiti. Fèt Bondye Bò Lamnè - K Wolf -- God’s Party by the Sea at K-Wolf – was held uly 4-7 in Jacmel. The camp served some 250 children from Jacmel and the surrounding area -- some of the poorest children in the Western Hemisphere. Some children walked two hours one way just to be a part of the camp. Through the 2011 camp, Epiphany and our partners shared God’s never-ending love and faithfulness. The children participated in typical camp games, arts and crafts, and biblical stories through song and dance. Hands-on science sessions included lessons in personal hygiene, and hygiene kits collected during Epiphany's VBS were distributed -- critical life skill lessons and supplies in an area that recently faced a cholera outbreak.  Each day opened with rousing camp songs, and two meals were provided every day -- for most of the children a great luxury. The four days ended with a great celebration, to which the children's families were invited to share food and the communion meal. 

Twelve high school and college youth led the camp, serving alongside staff of our HTF partners in Haiti; three adult guides served with the youth.

When the four-day camp closed, the group traveled to Fermathe, near Port-au-Prince, where they held a daylong camp for the children of Wings of Hope. This HTF partner is the premier residential facility serving physically and mentally challenged children in Haiti. After worshipping with the children at Wings of Hope on Sunday, Epiphany youth journeyed to the Central Plateau region and visited with families in the life-changing CLM program. Epiphany, through our partnership with the Haitian Timoun Foundation, walks alongside the families as they use resources to get on a path to a better life.

On July 17, the Sunday following their return, the team shared their stories of what your support of the children of Haiti means – to the people of Haiti and to Epiphany.  Click here to listen to their sermon message.
