HAITI CARE MISSION: APRIL 2010

A lot of exciting things have been

happening since last month. First of all,

our shipment of literally tons of Rice,

Dehydrated Potatoes, Peanut Butter,

and other miscellaneous items made it

to Haiti. This shipment was sent out

before the earthquake, and your

generosity helped to cover the cost of

that shipment. Sherrie at Christian Light

Ministries was overjoyed to receive the

food, as it was a much needed blessing,

and as always in Gods perfect timing.

Missionaries, Ron and Deb Wray were

also able to distribute goods through

our connection in IN. They had this to

say about the donation, They were so

well done....much appreciated.

Please pass along a very special

thank-you to thepeople who made

them.Wow.....the peoplein the

slums at Renaultwere very thankful.

They were encouraged and impressed

whentheyrealized that someone

made them. See page 2

We also received pictures just this past

month from a group that received our

items when we made the trip inDecember of 2009. The pictures came

with this lovely email from our dear

friend Jean Bellefleur,

Dearest Obermeyer,

We apologized for not being able

to send the pictures of our

distribution made last December

26, 2009 to a local organization

to which we gave some clothes

and other stuffs to the kids.Bunch of my kids at Batjda were

there. Please, receivethose

pictures in recognition of what

Princess Project had given to us.

It was a pleasure, in time of crisis

now we are waiting for more

clothes for boys and other stuffs

for thekids and families. Thank

you beforehand! May God

continue to bless richly your

Projects! Have a nice day in the

Lord! See you soon! Keep

posted!

We are always so impressed with our

donors and volunteers, and the quality

of not only their work, but also their

loyalty to our cause. The number of Threads of Love projects that we

have been able to turn out in the past

three months has been nothing short of

miraculous! As of April 1st we have

received nearly 9,000 dresses, quilts,

diapers, and sleeping pads! To date we

have been able to send out and

distribute all 9,000 items!

We are very thankful for your

wonderful support of the Haiti Care

Mission. Without you we would not be

able to provide medical supplies,personal care items, towels and

washcloths, dresses, diapers, comfort

quilts and boys pull up pants to those

living in Haiti. We are only three and a

half months into 2010 and we will soon

reach a point where we have already

shipped more items to Haiti than we

did all of last year! This is because of

you.

Our three greatest needs remain the

same:

Prayer- We need your continued

prayers to go forward. We often talk

of sensing when we know you have

been praying. We feel those prayers

and we are blessed to benefit from

them. In two weeks I will travel to

Haiti with three friends. This will be

our first trip there since the

earthquake. Please pray for us as we

experience first-hand the sadness ofwhat our friends and co-workers in

Haiti have been going through.

Partners- Now more than ever we

need people to sew for our projects.

Do you know someone who may be

interested? If you do, please share

our mission with them. Direct them

to contact us and we will provide

them with everything they need to

begin partnering with HCM.

Provision- This is our long-term

need. Three shipments have been

driven to Florida, three shipments

have gone to Indiana, and items were

transported to Grand Rapids, MI. We

have provided several vacuum packs

to missionaries who took our items

in their suitcases. We will begin to

receive regular shipments of items

from Gold Beach, Oregon, where

Jamie Sutter, is coordinating the

collection of items from the West

Coast. We need to beginreimbursement for these shipments.

Thank you, in advance, for helping us.

Tawas Area High SchoolPresents Donation

On Thursday April 1, 2010 Jon and Anne

Obermeyer graciously accepted a check

from Tawas Area High School in the

amount of $1,232. The presentation was

made during an assembly which consisted

of a video presentation about Haiti both

before and after the earthquake, a musical

presentation by Corie delRio, and some

words of praise and encouragements from

both Principal Kiblingler and JonObermeyer. The overall theme of the

assembly was heroes We wanted to be

sure to say thank you to the many Heroes

For Haiti at TAHS that made this donation

possible, The funds will be used to cover

shipping costs for our threads of love

projects. We thank you on behalf of

Haitis littlest ones!

SHIPMENT ENROUTE FOR IN.

Jons wife Anne and Annes mother, Arlene

Salsibury are currently en route for

Indiana with items to be delivered to a

missions warehouse for shipment to Haiti.

Please remember to say a prayer for their

safe travels, as they make this special trip

to deliver items.

It is always our goal here at HCM to give

100% back to our mission, and to ensure

our donors and volunteers that 100% of

their efforts are being returned to Haiti

with no strings attached We have found

that hand delivering our donations either

by us ourselves or by other trusted

mission groups is the best way to ensure

this policy. So again thank you to all of

our shipping and delivering volunteers, like
