Even before the 2010 earthquake, Haiti was the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
Now, the rubble of crushed homes still lies everywhere. Unable to rebuild their homes, many Haitians live in tent cities that sprawl across the country, even in the medians of roads.
The Haitian economy lies in ruins as well. Eighty percent of the population falls under the poverty line, and many rely on foreign aid for food because they do not have enough money. People live in fear of diseases that are unimaginable to most Americans.
Corruption, crime, and the black market prevent Haiti’s people from working to rebuild the country on their own. False gods and dark religions lure people deeper into darkness.
Haiti needs help. Haiti needs hope.
Ministry:
You will partner with one of three churches near Carrefour and ministry will look like:
- Kids Ministry: There are kids everywhere and the opportunities for ministry are endless! From street ministry to VBS and sports ministry, much of your time will be spent with children. From organized VBS programs to kicking a soccer ball, every child you see will be an opportunity to change a life.
- Orphan Care: Your team will also serve with an orphanage, where you will also play with the kids, but in addition, you’ll have an opportunity for service projects.
- Community Outreach: Your team will also go door-to-door to meet and share Christ with the sick and the unchurched.
- Church Ministry: You will also get to host a church service for the community!
By serving in this beautiful yet devastated nation you will begin to understand God’s unfailing love as you show the Haitian people they are not forgotten.
Will you bring the promise of a better future to Haiti?
