Caring to Love Ministries

​

Every year we put out bottles on Mother's Day and ask that you fill it with change and return it by Father's Day. We will be doing that again this year, but our WMU are adding a promo they're calling "Save a Life" to help us to save as many at risk unborn babies as possible in partnership with Caring to Love Ministries in Baton Rouge. We will have large envelopes in your LifeGroup folders.

Respire Haiti was founded by 24 year old Megan Boudreaux. After previously visiting Gressier only one time, God began working in her heart. Later, when she returned to the US, He began to pull her heart back towards Gressier and its children. In December of 2010, God gave Megan a vision for this community and their children. With so many children not attending school and so many families struggling to provide for their kids, she moved to Gressier permanently in January of 2011 and began helping the children and people of Gressier.
