‘Mountain of Hope’ makes a difference

mountain“Mountain of Hope is a faith based non-profit 501.c.3 corporation that was established in 2009 by several members of Liberty Baptist Church in Gun Barrel City for the express purpose of providing humanitarian aid to the people of Creve, Haiti. Other churches and individuals have united with Mountain of Hope by having fund-raising events, making one-time gifts and/or giving monthly donations toward this exciting and worthwhile cause. The Mountain of Hope team members have been to Creve multiple times over the past 13 years and have witnessed first-hand the great need for accessible water to the people of Creve for drinking, cooking and bathing.

Mountain of Hope, with the help of many, has been able to raise funds for drilling 2 deep bore water wells in Creve. There is a need for 4 more strategically placed water wells throughout Creve to furnish clean dependable water to the community. The cost of drilling these wells is at least $16,000.00 per well (must have funds for two wells before any company will travel there to drill.)

Mountain of Hope would like to ask that churches or civic groups interested in helping to invite us to come and share the need and plans with you.
