Haiti Hope Fund

A Note from Ken Heneise

I recently came across an interesting editorial in our local newspaper, The Florida Times-Union – Jacksonville, 7/6/2007 by respected author Jonah Goldberg, titled “Wealth of civilization found in our minds, not in our buildings”. He stated in this article that “Building roads, dams and factories in the Third World is a fool’s errand until those nations have the intangible capital required to maintain such things.” I was struck by the truth in these words, and how this truth applies to Haiti and to the efforts of everyone involved with Haiti Hope Fund and North Haiti Christian University. We are truly investing in the human capital that Haiti needs to have hope for the future, and our work is NOT a fool’s errand. We are responding directly to Jesus’ command ”...go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19-20
