Reichard Family To Serve in Haiti

          Freedom Global Outreach is thrilled to announce that the Reichard family will be moving to Jacmel, Haiti in the summer of 2015 to work as our first full-time missionaries! The Reichard’s are co-founders of FGO, along with the Lock’s from Canada, and will be great representatives of our values and mission in Haiti. They have been with us from the beginning and have deep connections to Haiti and to the kids and communities that we support.
          Julie is a Registered Nurse and will be overseeing our exciting new project, Heaven’s Angels Pediatric Clinic, which is currently being built in Jacmel. Julie and her staff will oversee the medical care for over 1,300 students of Vie De France Primary School and several hundred other kids in the community. She will also be responsible for overseeing visiting nurses, physicians and lay people who come to assist in the clinic.
          Matt has an extensive ministry background and education and will be the director of all of our on the ground ministry. He will work with Julie on the administrative aspects of the clinic, including connecting children and their families with other community resources when needed. He will oversee all visitors to FGO in Haiti, ministry budgets in Haiti and work hand in hand with our Haitian leaders on the mission of our orphanages, which is to develop individualized goals and plans for the kid’s long-term education and careers.
          Logan, Austin and Madison will also have a role to play in ministry. While they navigate the huge change from living in Pennsylvania to living in Jacmel, and the change to home/cyber school, they will work alongside of their parents in sharing love and life with the children in our ministry and the surrounding communities.
          Please join us in welcoming the Reichard’s into this amazing new journey of their life. Pray for them as they begin the process of closing down their lives at home and preparing for their move to Haiti. Keep an eye out on this space and others for information on how you can help be a part of their journey and our mission.
