Caring4Haiti is a
mission project of HillSong Church. Its purpose is to find ways to help meet the
basic needs of the Haitian medical team who stayed behind in the earthquake’s
rubble to care for their fellow citizens.
Caring4Haiti was inspired by Cathi Sander, a physician who is
part of the HillSong family. She traveled to Haiti on a medical mission in late
January 2010 with the NC Baptist Men to care for earthquake victims.
Cathi also witnessed the daily challenges her new Haitian
friends faced in treating the endless number of patients seeking care.
Caring4Haiti was created to respond to those needs. Donated funds will be used
to purchase tents, cots, bedding, canopies, food and medical supplies for the
native Haitians who are working around the clock under very difficult
circumstances to care for the sick and wounded.
First Shipment to Haiti
On Friday, February 19, 2010, Cathi and
HillSong pastor Rob Tennant went to RDU at 5:30 am to meet a plane taking
another medical team to Haiti. Caring4Haiti sent its first shipment of supplies
back to Haiti on that plane, including: tents, cots, a canopy, dried fruits,
nonperishable foods and cash to purchase fresh food in Haiti.
A special thanks goes to
Great Outdoor Provision Company
for partnering with HillSong to provide the
outdoor supplies at a generous discount and even donating additional items.

A
vivid description of her time in Haiti and unfolding opportunities
“After a week of treating patients in Haiti and seeing
incredible suffering yet amazing gratitude from those we cared for, I
returned home and asked God what else I could do to make a difference. He
answered: HELP THOSE WHO SERVE. To me, that meant finding practical ways to
deliver basic supplies to the Haitian medical team who no longer had homes
or even paying jobs themselves but chose to stay behind and care for their
countrymen.“
Tony Roche Goes to
Haiti
Tony Roche, a HillSong
member and a physician at Duke University Medical
Center, leaves for Haiti on Thursday, February 25 for a
10-day medical mission trip as part of Duke’s Global
Health Initiative and alliance with Partners in Health.
An anesthesiologist, he will be part of a surgical team
working in the town of Cange. Tony has not been to Haiti
before but went on a medical mission to Uganda twice in
2009. Prayers are welcomed for his family here—wife
Riana and children Michael, Lisa, and Liam.
