Haiti is hurting, and weโre holding its people in prayer. ๐ญ๐น
At ImpactHope, we believe prayer is an important part of how we stand alongside the communities and partners we serve. Today, weโre praying for those grieving, those displaced by violence, and those living with fear and uncertainty.
We pray for protection, peace, strength, and hope for Haiti, and for the local partners continuing to serve their communities in the midst of difficult circumstances.
Please join us in praying for Haiti. ๐
Haiti is hurting. And we don't want to look away.
Many of you have probably seen the news coming out of Kenscoff, a community in the hills above Port-au-Prince.
On August 23, armed gangs attacked the community, killing at least 47 people and kidnapping more than 50 others. Homes were burned, families were forced to flee, and more than 2,600 people were displaced.
These aren't just numbers.
They are mothers and fathers. Children. Brothers and sisters. Neighbors. People with families, dreams, work, homes, and lives they were trying to live.
And Kenscoff is not an isolated story. Violence in Haiti continues to spread beyond the capital into communities that once felt safer. Kidnappings, killings, displacement, and fear are affecting people across the country.
So today, we pray.
We pray for those who were killed and for the families who are grieving.
We pray for those who were kidnapped and for their families who are waiting and hoping for their safe return.
We pray for those who have been forced from their homes.
We pray for the people of Kenscoff and communities throughout Haiti who are living with fear and uncertainty.
And we pray for those who are working for peace, safety, justice, and a better future for Haiti.
But we also want to remember something important: Haiti is more than the violence we see in the news.
Children are still learning.
Teachers are still showing up.
Parents are still loving their children.
People are still working, creating, serving, worshiping, helping their neighbors, and building something better.
At the Apparent Project, we see that every day.
There is still goodness in Haiti.
There is still courage.
There is still faith.
There is still hope.
We will not look away from the suffering. And we will not lose sight of the people and the hope that remain.
Please join us in praying for Haiti today.
