More International Mission Opportunities

“True devotion, the kind that is pure and faultless before God the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their difficulties…” James 1:27

Mauldin First Baptist’s primary commitment to International Missions is with Hope Vision Orphanage in Port-de-Paix, Haiti.  We support the orphans in a variety of ways at their present location. We are also financially and physically assisting in the construction of a new orphanage outside the city. We typically send 2 mission groups per year – one in the spring and one in the fall.

Past facility construction/improvement –Activities have included digging footings, installing solar panels, setting up a computer lab, installing wiring for a new dorm for girls.

Past activities with the orphans include:

  • Games (jump rope, pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey)
  • Arts (coloring, making paper decorations)
  • Friday Feast
  • Leading large group devotions with all ages
  • Leading small group devotions with older boys and girls
  • Providing career-building skills to older boys (carpentry, electrical)

Past Gospel outreach activities in the community include:

  • Conducting VBS activities at nearby church
  • Traveling to the island of Tortuga to make home visits, invite to church
  • Delivering Bibles written in Creole
