Matthew 25 House is beaten but not broken.
The facility in Port au Prince is often the first stop for Americans heading into the country on mission trips.
"It is used by all faiths as a staging point and retreat center when they come to Haiti," said Steve Beers, a deacon at Newnan's St. George Catholic Church who has stayed there.

Haiti House in need of help per Sister Mary Finnick
Sister Mary Finnick who is 76 years old was in the Mission home in Haiti when the recent earthquakes hit. We have seen her and several of the doctors from the local area on the Today show. They have advised us that there are over 1300 people in extreme need living in the soccer field and singing out to God asking for blessings. Please give as much as you can to help them run the Mission home.
