While the news cycle has been mostly quiet on the crisis in Haiti, the reality is that the people of Haiti are still living in chaos. While many do their best to carry on with the normalcy of daily life, there is a constant fear of what may be around the corner.
Just last week, a gang raided a community north of our Titanyen campus, where over 70 men, women, and children were massacred and 6,000 people fled their homes.
According to the latest UN Refugee Agency Report, “Gang violence and political instability have resulted in a record 702,973 people internally displaced (IDPs)
, making Haiti the country with the largest number of displacements globally due to crime-related violence.”
While many have chosen to look away, we will not! We are resolved and remain committed to those who are suffering and in need; we are not afraid of the turmoil.
God has a plan for his people. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Though most days it might be hard to have hope, we have seen firsthand that God is working, and better days are to come.
Standing with the people of Haiti is more important than ever. Lives are on the line, and every plate of food, every child educated, every farmer resourced, every pastor equipped, and every teacher employed makes a life-changing difference.
We are not limited by opportunity or the means to deliver aid, we are limited by the resources to address these needs. His favor is evident, and the responsibility of stewardship weighs heavily on us.
We are asking that you prayerfully consider partnering with us and standing in the gap for the displaced, hungry, and hurting people in Haiti who are desperate for relief.
Please continue to pray for our staff in Haiti, who sacrificially risk their lives every day to reach every man, woman, and child with the hope of Jesus Christ.
