You can send your support through the organization CODEP COmprehensive DEvelopment Project www.haitifundinc.org/ CODEP is the agency that the Carlins work with in Haiti

•Cleansing Stream
Cleansing Stream is a ministry that comes alongside believers to give them tools and resources to deal with struggles in their lives, including personal barriers and sins that get in the way of the fullness of their relationship with God. The primary focus is on sanctification, so it is a ministry for those who are already believers, who are looking to go deeper into their faith and to experience greater freedom. When we get together, we'll have food, music, and it will be a time just for you, to learn and grow and just focus on yourself. It's almost a selfish time, because it is meant for you to step back into your own faith and look at just you and the Lord. It is not meant to be ministry to anyone else; your only responsibility is to you. For more information visit www.cleansingstream.org or contact the church office. Twelve weekly Friday night meetings start on March 5th. The retreat is May 7th and 8th. There is a cost for materials and the retreat.
