A final thought...
When discussing what Turning Point Missions does with a close friend, who just happens to be a part-time poet, Tom asked him if he could capture what we are trying to do in a poem. The result of that request was “Waters of Life” printed below. We hope it blesses you as much as it has us.
Turning Point Missions, Inc. was formed in Grand Rapids, Michigan and the West Michigan area continues to be the center point of our home renovation work. We began purchasing houses, renovating them and then selling them with the profit from the sale funding our mission trips. This source of revenue remains the baseline means of funding our mission outreach.
Turning Point Missions, Inc. is a faith based organization committed to bringing the “Good News of the Living Water of Jesus Christ” to the people of Haiti, and areas of Central and South America. We strive to reflect our love for Christ by providing employment for individuals who are unemployed and/or under-employed and by providing desperately needed clean water to those who do not have it.
Our initial mission trips were to the Dominican Republic working with Worldwide Christian Schools, followed by trips to the Cap-Haitien area of Haiti where Tom had volunteered previously with Living Water International. Haiti remains the primary focus of our current outreach work. It is hoped that with the completion of this website we can begin to develop outside contribution sources who will take an interest in what we are trying to accomplish in Haiti and join us in our work there and elsewhere.
