  âThe church there wasnât sure weâd stick around. I think weâve proven we
    really are there to work with them.â â Melissa Crutchfield, UMCORâs
          international response coordinator, on efforts in Haiti.


Methodists cooperate in Haitiâs recovery

   NEW YORK (UMNS) â For Methodists, the recovery process since the Jan. 12,
   2010, Haiti earthquake can easily be measured by dollars raised, churches
   and schools repaired, volunteer teams sent. What is less measurable â but
   ultimately more important â are the new or renewed relationships forged
   among Haitian Methodists, Haitian communities, The United Methodist Church
   and other global partners, both large and small.

Breadfruit flour effort aims to enrich Haiti

   believe this miracle product can help countries like Haiti produce
   much-needed food and jobs.
