Their goal is to set up national missionary sending bases in each Southeast Asian country with significant numbers of unreached people groups.
Miriam Center in Haiti
The Miriam Center is a special needs orphanage in St. Louis du Nord, Haiti. Children born in Haiti with severe disabilities and special needs are often outcasts at an early age.
