Hope Amidst Crisis in Haiti
Following the assassination of Haiti’s president in 2021, violent gangs forcibly took control.
In 2023, 8,400 people were killed, injured, or kidnapped. Today, the number of innocent lives taken continues to rise.
In August, we grieved the tragic murder of a beloved team member and friend—a man completely dedicated to the mission of bringing joy and purpose to orphaned and vulnerable children in Haiti. Then, in October, our campus was attacked and looted by gangs.
To mitigate risks, our team prepared a crisis management plan in advance, and by the grace of God and the diligence of our caring staff, the plan was successfully implemented. Praise God every child we serve and our staff members were successfully evacuated.
Our team in Haiti continues to stand against the darkness.
Haiti Deaf Academy students were among the 150 children on our campus we evacuated. A ministry leader shares—
“Everyone is doing well. The kids have really settled in and are getting into a good schedule.”
This summer, our team also held a graduation ceremony for 27 high school students. Dressed in caps and gowns, the graduates accepted their diplomas on stage, surrounded by mentors who love and support them. Our team is also celebrating 35 baptisms, a wedding, and a church anniversary.
God is sovereign over the gangs in Haiti.
Let’s keep praying and trusting in the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords. Even through the darkest of times, let’s rest in the fact that our good, good Father is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine, according to His power at work within us.
Pray for Haiti
- Pray for God to provide food, lodging, and necessary supplies for a group of 150 children and staff, some with disabilities.
