In 2013 the Delauriers free school had about 35 students. These were children who could not attend school for a number of reasons including; not having a birth certificate, unable to afford the cost of uniforms, books and other expenses, had to work or stay at home, etc. Many would end up being a burden to the community with no hope of a better future. At first the children were very skeptical about Rev. Fred’s offer for them to not only attend school but also receive a hot meal. It just seemed too good to be real. Fred’s father’s church served as the school and Fred paid the teachers and provided the food with the help of his family and by teaching English lessons to people in the community. In 2013 Fred was serving as a guide for an organization that supported the hospital in Mombin Crochu. Dennis Bradt was a member of that mission group and was invited to visit Fred’s school. Here is Dennis’ story.—“As Pastor Fred and I approached the orphanage and school I heard the happy sound of children singing. The sound was coming from a small dilapidated building whose walls were being braced up with poles to keep them from collapsing. I entered the building to find about 30 smiling faced children of various ages, packed together on benches and singing their hearts out. Fred told me that this was his father's church which was also serving as a school for disadvantaged children. He said that the orphanage was next-door in his parent's home. I did not go into the home but it was not much larger than the church. Crowded in that small home was Fred, his parents, four sisters, three brothers a grandmother and 12 orphans. My heart went our for Fred and his mission upon seeing the happy children, meeting some of Fred’s family and hearing Fred’s story about how he got involved with the mission. I told him I would help in any way I could to move his mission forward. “ At this point Rev. Fred began reaching out via the internet to churches and people in the U.S, in an effort to build his mission. Now, almost ten years later, I have had the pleasure of visiting and taking groups to the mission site several times. The church and most of the home were destroyed in separate storms. However, thanks to generous gifts, the mission now has a beautiful, new church also serving as a school for about 200 students and a much larger orphanage home.
