Why Haiti?

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Spiritual darkness, lack of education, 85% unemployment, and relentless natural disasters and disease, all contributing to a general spirit of hopelessness, dominate this island country of 10 million.

In partnership with El Shaddai Ministries International (ESMI) a door for us to bring hope and health to this beleaguered land. ESMI is an indigenous Christian ministry founded and led by Dony and Louis St. Germain. ESMI pursues a four-fold focus of Evangelism (especially through pastor training and church planting), Education, Empathy (mercy ministry), and Economic Development. They have:

Planted over 140 churches with over 35,000 in weekly attendance,
Started 26 schools with over 7,000 students,
Supported 10 orphanages with over 1,000 children
Established 6 medical clinics,
Spearheaded job training and the start of new businesses.
All this has led to the formation of the new Reformed Church of Haiti that currently has 5 presbyteries.
