Help Haiti churches rebuild through Alabaster offerings
Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Nazarene churches were damaged and some collapsed during the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that rocked Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Fortunately for the Tabarre Church of the Nazarene, its building sustained only about 5 percent damage and has used the structure for continued ministry to its community in the wake of the disaster.

The Tabarre church almost didn't have a building at all. The congregation, which had been raising money for their own building, decided in 2008 to take the money they'd raised and use it for others instead of themselves. They stopped focusing on having their own building and planned a mission trip to the island of Sint Maarten.

After they diverted their funds to missions, they received an unexpected $10,000 (USD) from global Alabaster offerings to finish constructing their church.
