Please continue to pray for our Haitian friends as the country continues this downward spiral!

The city we called home for almost 8 years, is preparing for the worst. A few days ago, rumors of the gangs heading to Gonaïves began circulating.

People are being told to prepare their guns and sharpen their machetes because a battle is coming.

Fear for those we love is overwhelming today. The humanity of those doing the killing is gone as they are killing women, children, babies, and Catholic nuns.

We believe in the almighty power of our Heavenly Father and we believe He is in control. Lord hear the cries of your people.

Our friends in Gonaives, Haiti are in danger of the gangs that have taken over Port Au Prince. They have been branching out into other towns and villages in Haiti. Yesterday I read that over 500 gang members were heading to Gonaives. Please pray for the people of Haiti! It breaks my heart to read and hear of all the atrocities people have suffered at the hands of these gangs. When will it stop? Yesterday they raided a town called Mirebalais where another organization that we have come to know has a school and people that they care for deeply. They executed people for no reason whatsoever...when will it stop? And then I read the hope and resilience in this post from 2nd Story Goods and I know that God is there. Please lift Haiti up in prayer with us!

Two days ago, rumors started spreading that gangs were coming our way. I’ve talked to several friends and family—people in Gonaïves are more afraid for their lives than ever.

There’s a saying in Haitian Creole: “Lè ou wè li pi fè nwa, se lè sa l pral jou.”
It means that the darkest moments come right before a new dawn.

We’re scared. I’m scared. But even in the fear, hope still whispers in my heart:

There will be a second story.
A new story is being written right now.
A revolution is stirring inside of us.

We, the Haitian people, will figure it out.
We’ve done it before. We’ve done it before.

Oh Lord, help us!

We’ll keep you updated. Thank you for standing with us, for fighting with us. Your support means more than words can say.

Let's all join in prayer for Haiti! Despite the gangs, there are many wonderful Christian people that need our prayers. Let us pray Psalm 10

Haiti’s main airport shuts down as gang violence surges, and a new prime minister is sworn in

The country has seen weeks of political chaos, which observers warned could result in even more violence in a place where bloodshed has become the new normal. The country’s slate of gangs has long capitalized on political turmoil to make power grabs, shutting down airports shipping ports and stirring chaos.

The United Nations estimates that gangs control 85% of the capital of Port-au-Prince, while a U.N.-backed mission led by Kenyan police to quell gang violence struggles with a lack of funding and personnel, prompting calls for a U.N. peacekeeping mission.

Took this from a friend but it rings so true for our ministry as well!

As part of our Haitian ministry, we are sometimes asked for help with people trying to flee the very REAL violence taking place in that country, and to apply for The Humanitarian Parole Program which might possibly allow them to be hosted by some family in The U.S. Notice the steps that are required, and especially the reasons given WHY these steps are required:

"Step 1: After determining that you may be eligible for Humanitarian Parole, you should next complete Form I-131, Application for Travel Document. Be sure to note that this application has a required filing fee which is to be submitted with this application.

Step 2: One should complete Form I-134, Affidavit of Support for the applicant. This Affidavit of Support indicates that the applicant will be financially supported by someone and thus NOT BECOME A PUBLIC CHARGE.

Step 3: A written statement/explanation detailing the humanitarian reason or emergency in which the application is based. Once the application is filed, a receipt notice is issued by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). A response from USCIS should be received 120 days from the date USCIS received the application."

Draw your own conclusions about which of these steps have, or have NOT been followed over the past several years in the case of so many who have simply shown up at and then been allowed to cross our sovereign border...not to mention the consequences for our current American Citizens and tax payers.

FYI - The data shows that from January 1, 2020 to April 6, 2022, of the 288 Haitians who applied under this program, only 9 were "Conditionally Approved", 80 cases were either "Denied" or "Closed", while 199 were left in limbo and were still "Pending". Those are the results when very desperate would-be immigrants try to do things "The Right Way".

Please keep our partners at Redeem United in your prayers as they continue to deal with obstacles in Haiti. Right now they have taken precautions to remain safe as troops move into Haiti from Kenya. Pray that the troops be able to control and disband the gangs. Pray that Haiti may be able to overcome the injustices that have plagued her for years.

Thank you for your continued support. Despite all that has been going on in Haiti the scholarship program has continued and schools have remained in session. We can't do what we do without you and your prayers are coveted.

Check out the amazing work our partners at Redeem United are doing in Haiti!!! If you feel led to help let us know!!!

A 29 year old momma of 4 is suffering with a death sentence of an illness when you have it in a developing country. On her first visit her blood sugar was 494 in the morning. The next few days her blood sugar was so high, the glucometer couldn’t read it. We knew she couldn’t survive long with numbers like that. After explaining the life long reality of this illness, we decided to partner together to get her well and prolong her life so she can continue caring for her children. I’m so happy to say that we have gone from an unreadable blood sugar to the 150s. We are overjoyed that she is learning to manage her illness. Will you partner with us financially to help provide for her medical care?

Happy Independence day to all of our friends in Haiti! May God bless you in this coming year!

"The Realities of Haiti" - What are the repercussions of a country that is nearing collapse? The violence in 2023 has resulted in 1,700 schools closing in Port-au-Prince, with 31% of those schools having been attacked by gangs.

Let's join our friends at the ApParent Project in praying for Haiti as unrest continues.

It just seems like Haiti can't get a break! If it's not an earthquake or tropical storm, it's gangs or political unrest or poverty or.... If we didn't know better, we could become depressed and think that God doesn't care about the precious people of Haiti. And honestly, sometimes it is easy to question God's love when we see what happens there. But we know that God works ALL THINGS for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. And we know that there are many in Haiti who love Him.

This week, please join us in praying that God will use all of the tragedy and heartache in Haiti for His glory and for the good of those who love Him. Please pray for peace and perseverance and faith in those in Haiti who are struggling in so many ways right now.
