May 5,2012 -

12 runners from across the midwest run in the largest mini-marathon in the United States… the OneAmerica Indianapolis Mini… 13.1 miles… to Help Heal Haiti. The 12 joined together to raise money for the hospital and birthing center of NWHCM – located in St. Louis du Nord Haiti – through a website called RACE2HELPHEALHAITI.COM … giving simple people an opportunity to do something extra-ordinary…

Their efforts raised over $40,000 to bring immediate medical care to the hurting of St. Louis du Nord… giving mothers a safe place to deliver their babies… families a place to take their ailing elderly… a place of hope…

Introducing our newest shirt to the HHH family – which %100 of the proceeds support the life saving work on the ground in NW Haiti.
“Broken Pieces” – a reminder that out of brokenness comes hope…healing… an opportunity to restore and bind up…
We’ve heard Haiti described as a “beautiful mess” – resting in the center of the Caribbean – bruised by injustice… it’s a beautiful place with beautiful / resilient / joy-filled people… that endure the mess of hunger / corruption / hardship…

Wear the shirt – proud – and share the story of the Haitian people…

Introducing RACE 2 HELP HEAL HAITI -

simple people that believe when we offer what we have – we can change the world.
We are from different walks of life – different experiences… we are young – we are old – we are men and women united for a powerful cause: we RACE to save lives in the poorest zone of Haiti.

On May 5, 2012 we will each run 13.1 miles in Indianapolis, IN as a part of the OneAmerica Mini Marathon.

Our goal is simple – RACE 2 HELP HEAL HAITI
We race to raise $2,500 individually – $50,000 collectively – providing life saving medical attention to undernourished children, to tumor stricken adolescents, to burn victims, to at-risk pregnant mothers, to real people – with real stories living in real poverty…

Together – we can make a difference – join us and give life… JOIN US

Take a student to a Coldplay concert – big lights – heavy production – lots of energy – they are in awe.
Take a student to the poorest place in the western hemisphere – no electricity – lots of heat and discomfort – thick with poverty –
they are transformed.

Help Heal Haiti and NWHCM give you the Restore Retreat – an in-Haiti retreat to awaken, equip and empower a generation to change their world.

You see… take a student away from  their phone – away from facebook -  away from youtube – from air conditioning and paved roads – away from “life-as-we-know-it” American culture… and step into the real world of Northwest Haiti… something incredible happens.  It’ something that you cannot create – something that can’t be manipulated… their eyes are opened – they begin to listen to clear voice of the Living God who has created them for more than existence and passing trends… He’s created them to live – to be alive – to step into their potential…

The experience of Haiti joined with teaching, worship and reflection brings forth a response beyond what a formal trip or camp experience can provide. It equips and empowers a movement of awakened Christ-followers to live the gospel throughout their everyday lives. This is an opportunity for two worlds to collide and bring to the surface a beautiful new perspective. A perspective that recognizes a suffering world and begins to see it through the eyes of Jesus. Most importantly, this is the opportunity to become the change this world so desperately needs, the very change Jesus calls us to be.

Cost: $2100
