Team Dream / Dream Team

Meet Brett, Jay, Julianne, Wildy, Luciano, Claudine, Max, Johnny, Milton, Rodney, Anthonio, Keson, Rochenel, Junel, Renand and Mackenson. 



These guys are my DREAM TEAM!

Last year, when I was planning, praying, preparing, training, communicating, fundraising for Resounding Hope by raising funds doing my first half-marathon, this was my thinking: this year, I'm doing this alone; next year, I'm praying for a team. Thank the Lord for these guys!

First, it was me. Then Jay (from OMS HQ) and his wife Julianne, both runners, said "We want to be a part of this!" 

Then Brett (OMS Haiti field director, also a runner) said "I'll do it here in Haiti!" 

Then our co-workers at 4VEH - Wildy, Luciano, Claudine, Max, Johnny, Milton, and Rodney - said "We're not ready to run a half-marathon, but we'll form a relay team and run alongside with Director Brett."

Then members of a local youth choir, Flamme Spirituelle (with strong connections to 4VEH - they recorded their first album here, and our Operations director Witny Telfort is their choir director) said: "We want to help. Count us in, we're running too!"

Here's the deal: we're running to raise funds for Resounding Hope solar radios tuned to Radio 4VEH to bless families in Haiti every day. On May 7, 2016, Jay, Julianne & Kate will be running a half-marathon, the Indy500 Mini in Indianapolis; Brett will be running a half-marathon around the One Mission Society compound in Cap-Haitien, Haiti; and Wildy, Luciano, Claudine, Max, Johnny, Milton, Rodney, Anthonio, Keson, Rochenel, Junel, Renand and Mackenson will be running as a relay team alongside Brett. 

Why? Because we know these radios are making a huge difference in people's lives in Haiti - reaching people with the Gospel, helping believers grow in their faith, building up the church and serving the people of Haiti in Jesus' name. 
Our goal is to raise $12,000 to sponsor 200 solar radios - and bless 200 households in Haiti. That's $60 to sponsor one radio and reach a whole family with hope every day.
