 The Fellowship of Christian Farmers, International is coordinating the shipment of rice, edible beans, soy protein & cooking oil, and medical supplies to Cap Haitian, Haiti to support the relief effort of the Haitian Christian Ministries. Members of the Fellowship of Christian Farmers have helped build the Pillatre Center in Cap Haitian since 1985. Food and medical supplies are needed to assist the ministry to expand their feeding program and to stock needed medical supplies in their medical clinic.
40 foot containers will be loaded in Bloomington, Illinois for transport to Haiti Shipping Line in Miami. It is estimated that one container per month will be needed by the Mission. The containers are being purchased so they can remain at the Pillatre Center for needed storage during the earthquake relief effort.
Your prayer and financial support is needed so food and medical supplies can be bulk purchased. Bulk shipped quantities are easier for our Haitian partners to receive and immediately utilize. Gifts can be sent to the FCFI Haiti Fund, P.O. Box 15, Lexington, IL 71653 or by using the “Donate Button” to contribute online.
Please pray for the Haitian Christian Ministries (www.hcmin.org) as they work with 30 churches in northern Haiti to meet the physical and spiritual needs of displaced Haitians. Pray also for the Lord’s direction and timing to begin sending teams of farmers to rebuild destroyed housing.
Haiti Earthquake Relief shipment information will be in the FCFI exhibit and morning seminar at the Louisville Farm Show, February 10-13th. Plan on arriving early for each day of the Louisville Farm Show, Room B-107, 8:00 am, to see a briefing for the Haiti Earthquake shipment campaign. Check the FCFI calendar to learn where FCFI will have an exhibit at a farm show in your area.

The Fellowship of Christian Farmers, International continues to building perimeter fences destroyed by Hurricane Ike. 258 farmers from 19 states have built over 300 miles of fences since January 2009. The month of April volunteer sign-up was catapulted by Texas Ag Commissioner, Todd Staples, press conference March 5th at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Commissioner Staples, announced “Operation: New Fences” ----a call to action to donate wire, posts, cash and fence building skills in the five Gulf Coast counties hit the hardest by Hurricane Ike storm surge. April 25th was a special day of fence building where Commissioner Staples participated in two projects in Chambers. To join the volunteer crew, complete a mission trip application on the website and note you want to work on a Hurricane Ike project.
The Fellowship of Christian Farmers, International is continuing throughout the spring and summer, its Hurricane Ike Rapid Response disaster relief campaign in Chambers & Jefferson Counties. Lodging and meals have been established in rural Winnie, Texas for volunteer farmers and ranchers to donate time to re-build fences destroyed by Hurricane Ike’s storm surge. Hurricane Ike made landfall September 12th in Galveston Bay and had a coastal storm surge that reached 275 mile east of the hurricane’s eye. Plan on organizing a crew and help rebuild fences in the Gulf. FFA Chapters from Wisconsin, Indiana, and Iowa have had a big impact in Chambers County this winter .
The Fellowship of Christian Farmers’ assessment team has directly contacted Southeast Texas ranchers to learn what is needed. Drought conditions existed in Southeast Texas with wildfires breaking out in the region each week in February. Thank the Lord for the rain that has fallen in March! Over 25 inches of rain has fallen in the last two weeks of April. Cash donations are needed for barbed wire and posts to keep volunteers building fence until the heat of summer occurs.
Please pray for the Lord’s protection and strength for the farm families impacted by hurricane damage. For many families in the bayou, they have been wiped out twice in three years. The Lord Jesus commanded us to, “Love the Lord thy God with all your heart & strength; and love your neighbor as yourself .” The Fellowship of Christian Farmers is striving to puts wheels under this prayer.
For more information regarding how you can join the Hurricane Ike Recovery Team, call 309-365-8710 or e-mail All cash gifts are tax deductible. Thank you for praying and partnering with the ministry.

More about Hurricane Ike’s Impact on Rural Southeast Texas
Prior to Hurricane Ike’s landfall on Sept. 12, 2008, approximately 30,000 cattle roamed in Chambers, Galveston, Jefferson, Liberty and Orange counties. Today, only about 7,000 are able to graze the land because of the lack of fences and the high salinity content of the soil.
