What is FOHO?

FOHO is a non-profit organization working under the guidelines of VISA and the Department of World Missions of the Free Methodist Church.

FOHO was organized in 1974 by Pastor Earl McDonald and Virginia McDonald-Myers after going to Haiti and seeing the great need there.

What does FOHO do?

The primary function of FOHO is to go to Haiti and build churches. However, FOHO has also built parsonages, canteens, a self-help store, a quest house, retainer walls, schools, and more.

In support of these construction projects FOHO has purchased trucks, cement mixers, generators, scaffolding, and many other necessary tools.

Also, FOHO has assisted with well drilling projects, dental and medical projects, educational and pastorla projects, disaster relief, and solar ovens.

How does FOHO operate?

Haiti Mission Supt. Gregg Ennis along with his committee of pastors and mission personnel determine a project list each year and submit this list to the Dept. of Wold Missions, then in turn to FOHO.

FOHO has a Board of Directors that serves in decisions and the general business of the group. FOHO has an annual meeting every spring for the giving of reports, raising funds, and giving out projects to churchs, groups, or individuals.

FOHO is unique in that there is no overhead charge in the operation. Offices and trustees serve without pay. They do not get reimbursed for expenses or mileage. FOHO is one of the few organizations where 100% of the income goes directly into the field.

Annual dues for all FOHO members are $40 per individual or $50 per family a year. Membership is not required to participate in FOHO work projects.

Who is FOHO?

FOHO is mostly Free Methodist laypeople and clergy, however this are members and supports of other denominations.

Work teams come together a variety of ways. Some are compiled from a single church, others from an entire conference, and occasionally from churches across the United States.

What if I can't lay block, or hammer nails, or even go to Haiti?

Groups have gone and contributed in many ways such as painting churches and shcools, assisting with electrical and plumbing work, make and install cabinets, repair service vehicles and equipment, etc. Some people have purchased land that others went and built a church on. Some have helped other go by assisting financially. Others have sent money with teams to hire needy Haiti workers to take their place.
