Homebound Missions has added two new ministries that we will begin to provide resources for. Today, I would like to introduce you to The Apparent Project.
The Apparent Project
Corrigan and Shelley Clay are the Founder/Directors of The Apparent Project which they established in 2008. They are also the parents of 5 children, three of whom they adopted from Haiti. It was their first adoption that took them to Haiti and eventaully caused them to move there.
The Apparent Project has a huge vision to address the needs of orphans and employment.
To address the needs of orphans they will have an orphanage, adoption program and guest house for visiting adopting parents.
To address the employment issue they are using the arts. By teaching jewelry making, knitting, crocheting, crafts, drawing, painting, sculpture, sewing, music, dance, video making, and photography they hope to help Haitains, "rise out of extreme poverty".
This is where we (you and Homebound Missions), come in. The Apparent Project needs the supplies to teach these skills to local Haitians. These supplies are the opportunity to rescue the Haitian family and to grow families into a future of earning a living. The Clays say, "We encourage people to give with the mind-set that teaching a person to fish is better than giving them a fish."
Here are the current needs at The Apparent Project:
Jewelry Making Supplies Beads(glass, wooden, seed)
Crimp Beads Spacer Beads
Jewelry Wire Clasps
Mukisa Blue Earing Posts
Jewelry Making Tools Beading Magazines
Paper (all kinds) Glue
Jewelry Displays Used Cards
Yarn Knitting Needles
Crochet Hooks Craft Magazines

Scripture of the Day
But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your hand.
The helpless commits himself to You;
You are the helper of the fatherless.
Psalm 10:14
