From the Ruins

You may recall that back in 2010 a massive earthquake struck the nation of Haiti. Already the most impoverished country in the world, the earthquake devastated the nation and left it in shambles. However the largest casualties in this event were the millions of children left without parents, families, or anywhere that they could call home. Left on the streets to fend for themselves, to beg for what food they could get their hands on, many of these children faced a bleak future in which death was imminent.

From the ruins, from the devastation, arose a glimmer of hope. Started by a pastor in the United States and local Haitians, Alex's House began as a place that offered the hope of a home to the children living on the streets. While food, clothing, shelter, and education is freely given, it is also a place where children are taught how to be disciples of Christ in the hopes that they will one day rise up to be the future leaders of Haiti. Working with other churches in Haiti they are creating a network of orphanages across the country that strive to create a safe place for the kids to live, to give them a family that loves them, and to give them opportunities few in this country could dream of having.

 Hub City Church proudly partners with Alex's House to assist them in this mission. This is our orphanage and these are our children and it is an honor for us to be used by God to give these kids a bright future.
