Baby Leveque…

This week, we are catching up on the activities of Kyle Reschke, 410 staffer extraordinaire in Haiti…

New mom!

Earlier this week we welcomed a new baby into the Village of Leveque and I was honored to have the opportunity to not only hold him on his first day in Leveque, but also to help name him. Please keep baby Daniel and mother Margot in your prayers as they go about their new lives in Leveque. (see photo of the glowing mother!!)

With each new arrival to the community, I reflect on all of the new opportunities in front of this next generation – instead of a future in one of the most dangerous slums in the world, baby Daniel can enjoy the peace and quiet of Leveque – where his mother pursues a new small business, his two older brothers and older sister enter into the Mission of Hope school, when he is able to walk he will play soccer in a safe space on a full soccer field – and even better . . . baby Daniel is now part of the generation that will change the course of history in Haiti – starting with his life in a community that is redefining holistic development, community unity, foreign missions, small scale agriculture, and the pursuit of a life free from dependence and entitlement.

  A Note from Our Founder

In 2021, Chris reached out just to have a conversation. Over a few breakfasts, Chris and I discussed our shared passion for changing the way the West church engages the poor. At the time, Chris was working for another non-profit organization, but it quickly became clear that we both sought to create a lasting, meaningful impact on the lives of the poor.
