The Haitian Lutheran Mission Project has merged with Mission Haiti in Davie
FL in order to continue serving the Jeremie District of Haiti. Over the past 16 plus years, your
donations provided food, clean drinking water, new/clean clothing, eyeglasses, medical
attention, medications, school supplies, school buildings, desks, vehicles and friendship to the
Jeremie District. Please keep in mind that your entire donation to the Haitian Lutheran Mission
Project (now Mission Haiti) is spent to meet the needs of the very poorest people in Haiti. The
funds are not sent through a third-party organization and there are NO administrative costs.
The teams pay their own travel expenses and all of the board members are volunteers. We
pray for your continued support. Please address all donations to: Mission Haiti, 3850 S.
University Dr. #290171, Davie, FL 33329. Thank you. ~Sue Gross

Praise the Lord and thank you for the overwhelming celebration of retirement last Sunday. Our
family was moved and impressed by your great show of love and appreciation. Comments that
you shared about worship services, visits, baptisms, weddings, funerals, etc., stirred our hearts.
Thank you to the committee, musicians, staff, Pr. Chuck and all the volunteers who made our
worship of the Lord so special and celebration so meaningful. And thanks so much for the many
cards and gifts. The monetary gifts have exceeded $19,000 and will go towards our “camper
and truck traveling grandparent and family show.” Thank you for your generosity, and for your
faithful stewardship over the years. You are truly graced and gracious in the LORD.
While the days ahead will mean stepping back into retirement and part-time ministry in NID
congregations, you will be in our prayers. When you send devotional prayer requests to Pastor
Chuck and the office, please feel free to copy us at rohlfsrj@icloud.com and they will be part of
our devotional prayer.
And…Lord God, grant your grace and direction, we pray, to Christ Lutheran and Pastor
Johnson that the Gospel of Christ might go forth in new and effective ways for the life of many,
in Jesus’ name; and as Pr. Walt always added, In the name of the Father and of the † Son and
of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Pr. Ray and Jo Ann, June 29

Below is an excerpt from a letter that we received from Trinity
Hope our partner in Haiti. The entire letter is posted on the bulletin board.
God provided a way to expand the feeding programs in Haiti during 2021. By his grace and
blessings, we are now providing a noon meal to over 50,000 children, teachers and cooks in over
240 Christian schools throughout Haiti. As a dedicated supporter of the work we do, you are truly
making a difference in the lives of these children. Thank you for helping us feed these children in
both body and soul.
