Medical Clinic Compound Wall Nearly Complete

Much progress is being made in moving forward with the medical clinic. As these pictures clearly reveal, the new compound wall is nearly complete and should be ready for paint and the addition of a new metal gate soon. Our primary partner in this project, the Invisible Hand Foundation, has provided the funds necessary to begin digging the foundation and preparing the site for construction of the medical clinic building. This is exciting news! And to start the medical clinic off in style, the president of Invisible Hand, along with staff from RHI, and Haitian dignitaries will gather at the site in March for an official cornerstone laying and prayer dedication ceremony. We give thanks to God for moving this important community ministry one step closer to reality. Thanks also to Pacific Crossroads Church for their team's work with our block-making start-up microfinance. PCC has provided funding and negotiated training for this new business venture, which is vital to the success and cost-savings of our medical clinic construction project.

Final Stewardship Results for 2012
Now that the books are closed on fiscal year 2012 for Reformation Hope, we want to provide you with some details as to how your partner investments were utilized. With all the negative publicity and news accounts concerning large organizations doing work in Haiti and how donors' money is spent, we think it is vital for you to know how RHI handles funds entrusted to us for the mission in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The chart below provides the essential details, including project category expenditures. We are thankful to report to you that 2012 was a year of abundant partner giving and we sincerely appreciate you for your generosity. You should know that of the $510,599 made available to RHI last year, only 4.7% was used to fund our office and administrative expenses, while just over 95 cents of every dollar received was invested into Haiti and the D.R. (90.05%) or carried-over for necessary projects in 2013 (4.8%).

Good News About Jean and Our Children!
Grace and peace to all of you from our Lord Jesus Christ! Pastor Paul made a very brief visit to the United States about a week ago in order to have some medical tests run. We are pleased to report to you that the tests showed that Jean does not need any medical treatment at this time. Pastor Paul also reports that the three young ladies from the orphanage, who had been in the hospital, are now back at the compound and recovering well. Please continue to pray for Shirley, who continues to improve little by little but still has a very long way to go for a full recovery. Jean shared that this is the first time since he moved to Haiti that he has experienced severe illnesses with multiple children. He is so very relieved and encouraged that the Lord has brought healing!
