RESTORE Haiti is a collaborative work between Restore Communities, Austin New Church, The River Conference and HELP. Our vision is to "restore the orphan, prevent human slavery, and end cycles of poverty." We are are focusing on ONE main projects - Building Homes: According to the Traffikcing in Persons Report, the cause for vulnerability in the lives of Haitians is lack of housing. So, we figured, we should build houses to remove that layer of vulnerability. If you would like to know more about RESTORE Haiti or how you can be involved, please click HERE.

I co-founded Restore Communities with Brandon Hatmaker as a result of a common desire to see the church begin to live beyond its own walls for the individual, collective, and social renewal of Austin and beyond. The mission of Restore Communities is to create partnerships locally and abroad for individual, collective, and social renewal.

We hope to see this accomplished as we seek to help educate the faith communities on issues of poverty, injustice, and local humanitarian needs; mobilize faith communities to partner with non-profit organizations who are already furthering the mission of mercy, compassion, and justice to humanity; and to become a voice for those who have lost their.
