With this year and season of giving coming to a close, we want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude for your support on GivingTuesday and our annual year-end campaign. Your gifts, along with the $14,000 matching funds from generous anonymous donors, helped us to raise $42,669!

There is still time to make that number grow. Any additional year-end gifts will be added to that total and help us get closer to our goal of raising $50,000.

But your gifts are more than just numbers and totals. Your gifts provide more than 1,800 children in Haiti with daily meals, a safe environment to learn and grow, and a sense of stability in a place where each day is full of challenge and hardship. Most importantly, your gifts provide these children with a Christian education and the opportunity to grow in their faith every day. We consistently receive words of thanks from our directors to all of you for your prayers, support, and continued love for the children in Haiti.

We are grateful for your partnership in this mission. We thank you for the love you have for these precious children. We pray that the Lord blesses you richly in the year ahead, just as He has blessed us through you.

 “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” - Colossians 3:17 

Branch Lutheran Schools of Haiti would like to introduce our newest addition to the the U.S. development team, Mandy Moll. Mandy is working part-time as a development coordinator and will be working to assist in our outreach efforts. Welcome Mandy! 

Mandy Moll is currently a Texan who was once an Oregonian who was raised a Michigander. After graduating from Wisconsin Lutheran College with a Bachelor of Arts in English, Mandy spent the next many years raising her three sons with her husband Dan, a WELS pastor who is currently serving God’s people at Abiding Faith Lutheran Church in Fort Worth, Texas. 

Prior to moving to Texas, Mandy and family spent fourteen years in Portland, Oregon. During this time home with her boys, she did a variety of writing and editing projects. Once the family moved to Texas, Mandy began substitute teaching in the local school district, an opportunity that allowed her to make connections in the community and let her light shine.

She and her husband both attended WELS grade schools and high schools. Their boys were also able to spend their early years at a WELS school. She is so grateful for the blessings that Christian education has brought to her life and is excited to use the gifts God has given to her to aid in bringing that same education to the children of Haiti.

Mandy leads the youth ministry team at her church, helps to run their Mornings with Mommy program, and is a regular volunteer at Camp Shiloh Lutheran Retreat. She loves to get outside to walk or bike, taking in God’s creation and looking for critters. In recent years, she’s been writing and illustrating, sending weekly stories to her niece’s preschool class and working on a children’s book that she hopes to see published someday. She especially loves any time spent with her now-grown boys as they settle into their lives.

We are excited to have you as part of the team, Mandy!
