Our Church has been the vision and energy behind our Conference's mission outreach to Haiti since 2002. In 2004,Wethersfield UMC, along with several other New York Annual Conference (NYAC) churches, was asked to build a Medical Clinic in Furcy, a rural, mountainous village southeast of Port-au-Prince. Subsequently, Furcy became a mission focus and priority for the Connecticut District and the NYAC. Out of this effort, "Mountains of Hope for Haiti" (MHH) was created and has coordinated more than 35 Volunteer in Mission Teams to Furcy and other locations in Haiti, with many team members from WUMC.
Since the earthquake of 2010, MHH is now partnered with UMCOR Initiatives through Agriculture, Education, Medical Care, Clean Water, and School Hot Lunch Programs.
For further information on MHH Initiatives, participating on a Volunteer in Mission Team, or ways to Donate to MHH, please visit the MHH Website at www.mountainsofhopeforhaiti.org or the New York Annual Conference Website at www.nyac.com.
