The 2024 Youngs Camp was a tremendous success, bringing many young Haitians closer to God. This achievement was made possible through the collaboration between Haiti Endowment Fund and Maranatha Church. We extend our heartfelt thanks for the prayers and support from everyone involved.

SUMMER UPDATE-
We recently hosted 240 youth on the campus for our annual Youngs Camp. Thank you to the leadership and those involved in running the 4-day camp! This is a huge undertaking!!
This summer we also hosted multiple VBS day-camps in remote villages, as well as several VBS in churches for the children.
Our women’s conference was a huge success and all Glory to God for allowing us to host over 250 women on our campus.

These summer camps have been an integral part of HEF and the Maranatha Churches for over 25 years! Children, women, men, and youth look forward to attending these camps every summer and the opportunity to draw closer to God, spiritual growth, and fellowship with friends!
Every year we love hearing the testimonies of those lives impacted and forever changed. We say this often and it’s from our hearts –
ALL GLORY TO GOD!

In May HEF sponsored a Teacher’s Appreciation Day for the Maranatha Schools. Over two hundred teachers participated in the special luncheon banquet that was hosted on our compound. Each teacher was blessed with a special gift.

HEF also sponsored the Maranatha School annual Science Expo in Hinche. Students K-12 participated in this awesome event!
We want to thank Marie for working so hard to make these events a success!
July is going to be a busy month. We will be hosting our annual HEF/Maranatha village-VBS day camps plus our annual 4-day kid’s camp on the compound. Please keep Iliobert, Marie and their team in your prayers. We have a busy summer planned with camps &
Conferences!
We trust God is moving in Haiti in spite of its many challenges and recent sorrowful events that have taken place. Please pray God’s covering over Haiti and for a resolution for peace and stability.
THANK YOU for your prayers and financial support.
Kevin and Cindy

SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAM-
Even with the current unrest in Haiti, God’s work continues. Over 3,000 students benefit daily from this HEF-sponsored program!

We recently received this praise report: “The students come to school every day. They receive a hot meal every day despite everything that is happening in the country. Maranatha schools are privileged to remain open. We are grateful to God”.

Thank you for your continued prayers for peace in Haiti and your support of HEF!

“Give ear, our God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name.
We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy.
Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act! For your sake, my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.” –Daniel 9:18,19

We hit a gusher! A new well sponsored by HEF was drilled at Maranatha Church in Beganabe. There was a big need for a clean water source in this village of about 1000 people. Thank you for your continued prayers and support.

Eleven years ago we were asked to host the first Mardi Grai camp on the HEF Compound for Maranatha Church youth as an alternative to the traditional celebration. It has been so wonderful to see how God has used this camp over the years as youth from all over the Central Plateau come together for worship, teaching, spiritual growth and fun. Our prayer is they will be impacted again this year with a life changing encounter with God.

Please join us in prayer for the Maranatha leadership, Rodberry, and those assisting in various leadership roles, as the youth come together for the 4-day conference.

Harold and Natalie Bither started this ministry in Haiti (Haiti Endowment Fund) over 35 years ago. T

To all of our Friends of Haiti~
As we close out the end of 2023, we would like to say THANK YOU for your support and for being a part of God’s work in Haiti through HEF-Maranatha ministries. The Lord has been so good!

Christmas was a wonderful celebration for the students in the Maranatha Schools! Through many helping hands, HEF was able to ship 3,300 backpacks to Haiti!
All of our schools celebrated the birth of Jesus with a special party with music, skits, dance, Bible study, and all kinds of fun activities! At the end of each party, the students and teachers shared a special meal together.

Pastor Iliobert shared the following message–
“We want to wish you all a Happy New Year. God was so good to us during 2023. He watched over us and gave us protection. We want to praise Him all the time. We are blessed even though we are facing difficulties. We thank Him for what He has done and will continue to do during 2024.
The Maranatha churches wanted to thank all of you for your prayers and support. Despite the difficulties, we made much progress. God is moving, and He continues to do extraordinary things among us! Thank you so much.”

ELDERLY & WIDOW PROGRAM-
Every month this program continues to support more than 200 elderly and widows in several remote villages. This program also helps orphans in need.
HEF provides food, assistance with daily needs, and medical care.

WELL DRILLING-
The drilling has begun in the village of Beganabe. We are hoping to find water soon. It has always been difficult for the people of this area to find potable water. This well project will be a tremendous blessing for the church, the new school, and for the whole Beganabe community.

The Maranatha HEF-sponsored schools are back in session, along with our deaf school and feeding program. We have also opened a new village school.
Our costs have increased substantially due to growth and inflation. Thank you for your prayers and financial support.

Over 3,000 students are benefiting daily from our school feeding program. We thank the Lord for His continued blessings on HEF-Maranatha ministries despite the unrest in the country. Please continue to PRAY FOR HAITI. 🇭🇹
