It’s all for the kids…

Left to right: Bobby, Moses, and Lakey

It began in 2013 when Bobby Curlee, Lifeline’s Plant Manager, integrated his love for the Haitian children and his Harley motorcycle. Bobby knew first-hand how a child’s life is impacted by Lifeline’s Children’s Home: he and his wife Lakey sponsored Moses, a Haitian boy who called Lifeline’s Children’s Home in Mahotiere his home. Due to the influence of the Home, Bobby and Lakey watched Moses and the children grow and mature into young adults.

Bobby wanted to help provide for the needs of these children while ensuring that more children could call this home. So, to bring awareness to the needs of the Haitian children and to raise donations for Lifeline’s new Children’s Home in Grand Goave, Haiti, Bobby and 3 others set off across the U.S. They rode 9000 miles and shared the children’s stories along the way with churches, gas stations, groups, and more.

Thus, “Hogs for Haiti” was born and, since then, numerous riders have come together and have driven 14,000 miles across the U.S. and Canada with over $45,000 dollars donated for the Children’s Home!

The 3rd annual “Hogs for Haiti” ride sets out Friday, August 14, 2015.

The bikers will travel 5500 miles through the Midwest U.S., Central Canada, and the Rocky Mountains, all the while sharing Lifeline’s ministry with churches, groups, and fellow travelers. Please keep the riders in your prayers and follow the ride online.

child sponsorship ministry

Transform lives: host a sponsorship drive!

We are looking for churches and organizations to partner with Lifeline to host Child Sponsorship Drives this fall. Are you interested?

Sponsorship Drives offer us the opportunity to show families, classes and individuals how they can invest in the physical and spiritual lives of a child in need. Hosting a drive can be as small or large as you prefer. We send you all the materials needed, along with photos of the children available for sponsorship. A host can be trained to coordinate the drive or a Lifeline representative can come give a presentation to your church/organization.

All of our sponsored and not-yet-sponsored children are involved in Lifeline’s schools, Children’s Homes or Nutrition Programs. Sponsors help support the ministries that directly serve the children, such as education, health care and nutrition. Through child sponsorship, sponsors can build a personal relationship with their child and their family through email correspondence, sending gifts and possible visits to the mission field where they live through work teams. These experiences can be life-changing, for both the child and sponsor!

For more information:

Simply contact Audra@Lifeline.org and she will help you with all of the details in arranging your event and experience the blessing of getting children sponsored!
