|
The Haiti Connection 2008 will be held in Haiti in November 2008 marking 10 years since the first conference was held in Delray Beach, Florida. It will also be the first Haiti Connection Conference to be held in Haiti since 2003. Haiti Connection Conferences were held in Miami in 2005 and 2007.
The Rt. Rev. Jean Zache Duracin, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Haiti, will attend as will the diocesan clergy and lay leaders of the diocese. Main themes of the conference will be what’s new in health care, development and education. While the primary focus will be on the mission and ministry of Episcopal and Presbyterian outreach efforts, any persons and all ministries engaged in ministry in Haiti are welcome to attend.
Pre-conference trips are also being planned to take small groups to mission projects throughout the country. These trips are especially helpful to newcomers to Haiti.
It will be a great time of learning, sharing, partnering, and mutual support.
Details of the conference schedule and registration will be posted soon. Please spread the word and come back to register.
