Volunteers build relationships in Haiti

   PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (UMNS) -- Since the Jan. 12, 2010, 
earthquake, some 80
   United Methodist Volunteers in Mission teams have traveled to 
Haiti to work
   on infrastructure projects prioritized by the Methodist Church of 
Haiti and
   nearly 180 are scheduled for 2011. Many have returned home 
inspired by
   Haitian faith and eager to do more mission work in the Caribbean 
nation.

of blood,
   sweat and tears.

Rubble cubes illustrate Haiti need

   SAN  ANTONIO  (UMNS) -- To commemorate the one-year anniversary of 
the
   earthquake in Haiti, The United Methodist Church is filling 
containers in
   four cities â San Antonio; Atlanta; Kansas City, Mo.; and 
Charlotte, N.C. â
   with an estimated five tons of rubble to illustrate the magnitude 
of the
   destruction as well as the countryâs ongoing need. The amount of 
rubble in
   one container represents only 0.00015 percent of what is still in 
Haiti.
