RED DEER- It has been 8 years since a group from Crossroad Church in Red Deer lead a team down to Haiti following the devastating magnitude 7.0 earthquake on January 12, 2010.

The quake killed 220,000 thousand people and injured over 300,000. 

On Thursday, Marc and Lisa Honorat, co-founders of Haiti Arise, will be in Red Deer to share their story of how Haiti continues to be transformed since that fateful day in 2010.

Many Red Deer residents have pulled together over the last 8 years to help Haiti recover against insurmountable odds and work to transform a community that was down on its knees.

Marc Honorat, a native Haitian with his wife and six children, work to bringing hope and positive change to his home country of Haiti.
