Helping to bring hope back to the people of Haiti through music...

After much prayer and consideration, Sam has decided to take a year off between high school and college and return to Haiti to start a music program at an orphanage school run by Child Hope International. Sam was touched profoundly by the children at Child Hope when the family traveled to Haiti in February, and began to pray for God's direction in his life as he pondered the decisions regarding college and life direction.  His heart kept coming back to Haiti.  As the May 1 deadline loomed and he had to give an answer to the colleges that had accepted him, he became confident that this was the right decision. 

In June, he received confirmation from Child Hope that they had accepted him into their internship program.  He spent the summer preparing for his adventure.  He collected materials for teaching general music and took lessons from some master teachers on how to train beginning violin and cello students. 

He left September 6 and immediately went to work. He is teaching music theory, cello, violin and choir.  He is also leading worship regularly at the church in Port au Prince.  

Please keep him in your prayers.  Want to send Sam a message?  Feel free to send him an email.  He would love to hear from you.  If you are interested in supporting Sam in his work, please click here to make a donation using the ChildHope website.
