Through God's word we learn that Jesus Christ brings us living water and grace upon grace. As disciples working together through Jesus Christ, Waters of Grace can (may) bring gifts of grace and love to make a difference in peoples' lives. Waters of Grace provides community to global outreach and discipleship which assists individuals or groups, whose needs may be, but are not limited to physical, financial, spiritual or educational, as well as support other organizations whose mission reflect the same. Outreach to Dina's Orphanage in Haiti began in 2015. Dina currently has 15 orphans plus 4 helpers, but has been as high as 31. Our monthly outreach includes money for food, helpers for the orphanage, school expenses, propane and transportation costs. A mission team traveled to Haiti in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 to help the orphanage with special project needs including a well, stove, and bunk beds for the kids. Our outreach has also included medical expenses and funeral expenses when needed. In 2020 the orphanage moved to a new safer and more sanitary location with access to water. Waters of Grace helped with moving costs, a water holding tank, a motorcycle for transportation, and new mattresses for the children. In 2021 the orphanage had to move again. 15350 X 0 Outreach to God's Lambs Orphanage in Haiti began in 2018. 18 kids ages 3-11 were found living on the streets, homeless, starving and some of them sick. One young girl was found in the river looking for something to eat. Many were abandoned so young that they didn't even know their names. Our mission connection, Stanley Lambert, had a friend who had a building to house them, and Waters of Grace stepped in to help them find ladies to take care of them and create God's Lambs Orphanage. Our mission team in Haiti (who came 2 weeks after the children were found) were able to bring clothes and flip flops for them plus sleeping mats made out of plastic bags for them to sleep on, help them with baths, played music and games with them, and showed them love. One girl who had not spoken since she was found, came to life when we played music and she started dancing, singing and talking. Since then, 2 children have been reunited with an aunt. In 2020, the 16 remaining orphans were moved to a new safer location due to the political unrest in the country, and were joined by 6 other orphans being supported by a local church. Bunk beds have also been provided for the orphans, as well as goats and chickens. All of the children attend a local school which is in walking distance of their new location, and receive medical care when needed. 6 additional orphans were added in 2021, making the total 28 kids. In 2023, due to political unrest and gang violence, the children were moved to safer locations either with extended family members or to a local church supported orphanage. 10400 X 0 Outreach to children and families in Haiti began in 2016. Several children/families have been sponsored, helping them with essential items such as food, clothing, shelter and school costs. In 2020, Waters of Grace also helped with funeral costs for a Pastor and his wife related to one of our sponsor families who were tragically robbed and killed. In 2021, Waters of Grace provided aid to earthquake victims also. 5550 X 0 0 Rosemary Rundlett President 3 0 0 0 Dianne Withers Secretary 1 0 0 0 Barbara White Vice President 3 0 0 0 Lori Lyon Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Deb Cairer Director 2 0 0 0 Mark Hatfield Director 0.5 0 0 0 Gay Lynn Korff Director 0.5 0 0 0 Gary Smith Director 0.5 0 0 0 Karen Kain Director 0.5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lori Lyon 1816 Fair Street Chillicothe MO 64601 6607526207 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 46251 60905 45146 40683 39883 232868 46251 60905 45146 40683 39883 232868 117173 115695 1410 0 0 0 1410 234278 0.49384 0.49677 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other Income includes fundraising events and raffle income.
