An Evening with Kim O'Dwyer

  • Connors Hill 9419 95 Street Edmonton, AB, T6C 4K2 Canada (map)

On behalf of our Missions team, we would like to invite you to an evening to hear about the work of Kim O’Dwyer and Mission of Grace in Haiti.

Kim went to Haiti right after the earthquake in 2010 as a volunteer, then joined Mission of Grace full time and has been serving as the Mission director since January 2011.​ During that time, Mission of Grace has grown from an orphanage of 9 kids to an orphanage of over 175 children and has added an elderly home with 25 residents, a medical clinic, a church with 120 people in attendance each Sunday, a soup kitchen where they serve 400 people per day, and a Christian school with 530 students enrolled this past year. Mission of Grace seeks to daily meet the needs of Haitians through love and compassion.

Mission of Grace has had some big changes over the past year due to the violence and unrest around them. They felt it the best decision to remove the children from danger and provide them a safe place to grow and thrive, and so in November of 2023 they moved the orphanage from the city of Carries to the countryside in the south of Haiti but continue to have the school, church, elderly home and medical clinic in Carries.

We invite you to come hear from Kim about Mission of Grace, God’s faithfulness in the past, and their hopes and needs for the future. We will meet on Monday, September 30th from 7pm-9pm in the foyer at our Connors Hill site.

Please RSVP below. Kim says, “I am looking forward to coming and sharing with you first hand all that is going on in Haiti and at Mission of Grace and I look forward to meeting each of you.”
