Haiti Book Drive
September 8, 2018
Our October Haiti team will be building a library at Good Rest Mission. Buying books in Haiti can be difficult, so we would like to hold a book drive prior to our trip and bring the books down with us. We are collecting books for all ages (1 year – 18+) in French or Creole.
Barnes and Noble is partnering with us to help gather the books we need! On Saturday, September 8th, the Mira Mesa Barnes and Noble will host a “Haiti Book Fair” for our Haiti Library. Anyone that comes in and purchases books or other items (not including electronics), using our Haiti Book Drive Voucher, Barnes and Noble will give us 10% of the sales to use to purchase the books we need. Barnes and Noble employees have personally done research for us and will have books in French at the store on the day of our book drive to be purchased and donated to the library.

Please Join Us in Prayer
We ask for your prayers that our team would be able to show and share the love of Jesus to our friends in Haiti. Pray that teens would understand the value they have in Christ Jesus. Pray that as challenges are given to receive Christ, hearts would respond. Pray that we would be able to bring books down to help fill in the gaps that are in these children’s education and basic knowledge of the world.
Thank you for your ongoing generosity and helping us to bring extra smiles on the faces of the children at Good Rest Mission.
