Haiti Trip Update
A Five Oaks team just returned from another successful trip to All God’s Children Orphanage in Haiti. Time was spent mentoring the children on godly traits and helping them learn their spiritual gifts. The team also worked on small projects at the orphanage and handed out rice and beans while preaching the Gospel to remote areas of the country. A videographer followed the team to capture all the activities. For more info about this trip, or to join a future one, please contact haiti@fiveoakschurch.org.
