This past Wednesday marked the 1-year anniversary of the devastating earthquake in Port Au Prince, Haiti. Though it hasn’t received as much media attention recently, the work in Haiti continues–much of the infrastructure remains battered and broken, and the nation of Haiti still has a long way to go before it reaches stability.
We were given the amazing opportunity of partnering with Churches Helping Churches, an organization which provides support and development aid to churches and pastors who are often the de facto leaders in the heart of affected communities. CHC worked with local church leaders to organize a memorial service in the heart of Port Au Prince, just across from the collapsed Presidential Palace.
As part of the media team, we were asked to create a recap video of the memorial service which was shown at the church services of CHC founders, Mark Driscoll, from Mars Hill Church in Seattle, and James McDonald, from Harvest Bible Chapel in Rolling Meadows.
We are so thankful to have played a small part in capturing the day and blessed to have been among those present at the memorial service. God is doing amazing things in Haiti and within the hearts of the Haitian people. We are especially grateful to CHC for having us come on board for this amazing celebration.
Cheers,
Chris
