Advance Signs: Hands and Feet of Christ Taking Hope to Haiti

Friends,

A while back at Life Under the Blue Sky, I did a short post on a worthy project headed up by the band Audio Adrenaline. Sadly, my post didn’t seem to generate much response. Well, I’m going to try again here at Advance Signs.  Here’s a video clip from the band concerning the Hands and Feet Project in Haiti.

You can access the Hands and Feet Project online here. Here’s what they say about the project:

The Hands and Feet Project , a 501c3 non-profit organization, is a children’s village in Jacmel, Haiti that was started by the band Audio Adrenaline in 2004. Our mission is to care for orphans and to use pop culture to introduce the 1st world to the orphans of the world. The land was purchased in late 2004, and construction began in early 2005. Our first little girl arrived in the spring of 2005, and we now care for 34 children ranging in age from 2 months – 9 years old.

We are currently building more houses in order to be able to help more children who have been abandoned and will probably have 40 children by the end of this year. We are hoping to replicate the model that brings artists/bands and orphans together, with our next project starting soon in Nicaragua with T-Bone.

This mission will be accomplished under the leadership of Drex and Jo Stuart, parents of co-founder Mark Stuart, and lifetime missionaries who have previously served in Haiti. The outworking of the children’s village will be to provide for the family nurturing of a loving home, a viable Christian witness, attention to the medical needs of the children, and the proper education of each child. Children accepted in the home will all be orphans.

You can also check out the Hands and Feet Projecton Myspace.

This is a group of people who are living the resurrection driven life to bring hope and salvation to the children of Haiti. What I see is that they are raising a generation of children who will some day be the movers and shakers of that land. As Mark Stuart says on his myspace page, the goal is that someday the orphanages will not need to exist.

God Bless this work!
