On January 12, 2010, in the blink of an eye, over one million Haitians became homeless. Conduit Mission was one of the first-responders to bring in food, water and supplies to the suffering in Jacmel, a coastal community badly damaged by the earthquake. Thousands of residents still live in tents, over a year later. Last fall, Conduit Mission began rebuilding homes would like to raise the funds to re-build 17 or more homes this year.

One of Conduit Mission’s ministry partners, David Whetstone, of Mentor Leaders, has witnessed firsthand the effects of HIV/AIDS and poverty in Africa. While in Togo, he identified a remote village that had no clean water source, no schools, and over 300 orphans. Small children fetch water from a hole that smells like a sewage dump.

“When they actually drink this foul water they use the sleeves of their shirts as a makeshift filter doing their best to eliminate the slime, worms, and dirt,” he observed. Conduit Mission has sent the first half of the funding needed to complete the water well, and start building a school and orphanage for this community.

Since 2007, Conduit Mission has been sharing resources with the poor and marginalized on several continents. What was once a Bible Study has now turned into a full-blown mission with operations in Togo, Africa, Jacmel, Haiti, and Franklin, Tennessee.
