Our church has resolved to participate in this program due to the rapidly deteriorating conditions in Haiti where our mission work is located. Several of our church members have elected to sponsor various ones and the Church is willing and able to act as a co-sponsor. The Church will assist in providing safe and appropriate housing for these people. We will also assist in providing basic living needs such as food, clothing, and medical care for the duration of their humanitarian parole period. The Church will also provide for continuing education and/or assistance in finding employment once they have received work authorization through the government.
