Why Haiti? Why should we help?
“If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.” James 2:15-17
God has opened the door for us to do mission work in Haiti where 80% of the population lives below the level of absolute poverty. Less than half of the population has access to health care. Despite having a viable tourist industry, Haiti is one of the world’s poorest countries and the poorest in the Americas region, with poverty, corruption, poor infrastructure, lack of health care and lack of education cited as the main sources.
JFM – Haiti Mission
1. Feed the poor Children
2. Support the poor Pastors
3. Distributing Bible in Creole Language
Feed the poor Children:
Haiti is a dangerous place for children with more than 500,000 children living in camps and many others living in slums. One out of 8 children will not live to see their 5th birthday. Malnutrition strikes 3 out of 4 children and most of them don’t have proper food.
Initially we are planning to support as many children as possible to survive their life by providing them food once in a week and help them by giving them the gift of education, and introducing them to a Savior who loves them.
The monthly expenses for each kid to provide basic support will be around 10 USD.
Support the poor Pastors:
Our goal is to support and encourage the work of our brothers and sisters in Christ in the country of Haiti and to support the ministries of their churches. We strive to demonstrate the love of Christ through works of service to these churches as well as to other Christian missions and missionaries in the country of Haiti as we have opportunity.
Currently all the Pastors in Haiti Churches are living in very poor condition and they work throughout the day for their livelihood.
If we can support these Pastors, they can minister full time and Gospel will be spread to more people sooner. The expense to support a Pastor will be around 100 USD per month.
Since most of the Pastors don’t have a proper home to live, we can help them to rent better place and that will be around 20 USD per month.
Distributing Bible in Creole Language:
Though we can look around us at His creation to see His power and limitless creativity, we need something more to discern His will for us, His plan for our present and eternal lives. God has given us His Holy Word, The Bible, so that we can better know Him and His will, his ways, the extent of His love and mercy, and also the extent of His wrath and judgment.
Many Haitians who want a Bible do not have one. A high rate of illiteracy here makes effective Bible distribution more challenging. Still, there are many people who can benefit from having their own personal Bible.
As mentioned by Pastor, 60% of the believers can’t afford to have a bible and that makes their lifes hard to strengthen in Christ.
Our initial plan is to distribute Bibles for the needy who cannot afford a Bible with a long term view to strengthen the Churches, Deliverance and strengthening of spiritual life. The cost of each Creole language bible is around 10 USD.
If anyone is willing to support any of these mission, Please let Pastor or mission team know @
