We admit, we take our T-shirts pretty seriously at Northwest Haiti Christian Mission. A lot of lives have been changed while wearing them.
Anyone who travels on a short-term mission trip with NWHCM receives one of our shirts. This year, we have two different shirt designs — different fronts (see top), identical backs. We distribute the various designs at random, and if you’re traveleing with a group, your group’s shirts will be an assortment of both.
We have a limited supply of each, so unfortunately we cannot entertain requests for one design or another. Thanks for your understanding. If the design you received is not the one you prefer, maybe you can trade with a friend!
This year, the backs of our shirts feature a large map of Haiti. The areas marked with red crosses are key places where Northwest Haiti Christian Mission is working, though we have a presence in dozens of other communities throughout Northwest Haiti.
As always, please wear your T-shirt at all times while traveling in and out of Haiti with us. Of course, there’s no rule saying you can’t wear it at home, too!
What is “Rescue, Restore, Redeem?”
We’re glad you asked.
These three words, written on the fronts of all our 2010 T-shirts, are our humble attempt to encapsulate everything we do here at Northwest Haiti Christian Mission. They are our mission statement, if you will (though we have a more formal mission statement you can find here).
As a mission, we seek to:
- Rescue the oppressed by providing medical care to the poor, food to the hungry, and orphan care to the abandoned.
- Restore hope by running schools and organizing sustainable community development programs in needy areas.
- Redeem God’s people by planting churches, developing indigenous church leaders, and training effective Haitian ministers.
We do all this in partnership with people like you, which is why we thought you’d like to know what this “rescue, restore, redeem” stuff is all about.
