The Mission of Hope Bercy campus has been full of activity this summer. Hundreds of students have been attending school at the campus, many coming from the surrounding communities where some schools remain closed in the current tension and unrest. One of the programs that has shifted from the Titanyen campus to the Bercy campus is our Sports Ministry. A soccer tournament was recently hosted at the Bercy campus and there were 12 teams of 22 players—a total of 264 players participated that week! In total, 820 people were present for this tournament, and the audience was full of students cheering for their friends and classmates.
This week was a reminder of the joy that comes through sports. Our Haitian staff continues to lead and press on in the hardest of circumstances, pointing their peers to have hope that God is working things together for good.
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: HOPE FOR HER

We had the very first Hope for Her at our new Jarabacoa campus in the Dominican Republic! It was truly an incredible week, as 35 women traveled to the DR to serve. The Women’s Empowerment team hosted two Women’s Day gatherings for both Haitian and Dominican women, and served 363 women and 134 children! The group also spent time in the communities building relationships and distributing water filtration systems, hosted an event for local women ministry leaders, completed a painting project, explored a local waterfall, and spent purposeful time in worship and devotions each day.
Ladies, if you’re interested in attending the next Hope for Her—we’d love to have you with us! You can find out more here. Men, feel free to forward this email to the women in your life who may be interested in joining a Hope for Her trip.
