The Haiti Education Alliance (THEA) provides education opportunities in Haiti to empower impoverished communities. THEA's objectives are to provide primary, secondary, vocational, and college education, support careers in medical fields, and promote self-sufficient communities. Current programs include a medical education program, agricultural training, sewing education, supporting 42 children in school, and partnership with a rehabilitation training program and hospital. THEA is run by a board and coordinates several initiatives through its field director Diony Etienne and local church in LaVictoire. Western Hills Church could partner with THEA through supporting its educational programs, orphan care, the church, and providing resources like water filters, school sponsorships, and medical insurance

Where Jesus appointed, we take volunteers. Where Jesus sent pairs, we send herds. Where Jesus admonished for danger and quiet humility along the road, we opt for vacation destinations and loud self-congratulations. Where Jesus asks to be bringers of peace, we often bring chaos. Where Jesus designed an opportunity for a disciple to lean into a new family, learn a new culture, and serve under the head of a household (who best knows his own need), we march in with a plan and the resources to git'er'done completely missing out on the gift of being a worker worth his wages. What if the original picture of short-term teams was meant to show us this valuable step in the process of discipleship, where we can learn dependence on God, love for others, and how to serve well? And what if we've taken that picture and turned it into a billion dollar industry, creating dependence among the poor - not on God - but on the ourselves, damaging Christ's image in the world, and missing the point entirely?

Editor's Notes

  1. Taken from www.theveryworstmissionary.comHow Short Term Missions Are Often Done:Invite anybody (who feels like it/can afford it) on a trip to a (safe but adventurous) place. Raise funds, collect loads of supplies, buy matching t-shirts printed with a catchy logo and/or leading question to use as a traveling evangelism tool. Create a detailed packing list. Travel to destination in matching shirts, being sure to strike up at least one conversation at every stop to indicate that you are serving the Lord, Jesus Christ. Stay as a group in a dorm, church, hostel, or hotel. Help poor people, or the disaster afflicted, by offering unskilled labor, unwanted prayer, and cartoon Bible tracts. Give away some junk. On the last night of the trip, order Pizza because everybody is sick to death of local food. Arrive home, slightly conflicted, burdened for those less fortunate, unsure if any actual help occurred, but grateful for all your Blessings. Share none of your doubts, but tell family, friends, and especially financial supporters that it was an awesome trip and that you totally saw God at work.
