As reported in the January, 2010 Collinwood Observer the Aspinwall Church of God Mountain Assembly provided ”Christmas in October - 2009” for their churches, 13 schools, and 3 children’s homes in Haiti. The church sent a 40 foot container to Duval Riche which is 10 miles away from Port au Prince. It was filled with 36,000 pounds of food, medicine, clothing, household articles, toys, and a large tent with chairs to be used for revivals.

On January 12, 2010, the island was devastated by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake! The container miraculously survived the destruction of the surrounding church, and school. Both the container and the revival tent have now become a shelters and homes for the pastor and the children residing in the school.

The ‘Rainy Season’ will soon begin. The people of Haiti now face the dangers of flooding, mudslides, and hurricanes. It is vital that substantial structures be constructed.  As of this writing – Aspinwall Church has donated $12,800 to be sent as aid to the Mountain Assembly Church community. Surely, the mercy and generosity of Collinwood’s Aspinwall Church of God Mountain Assembly continues.
