Although ministry could have been halted in 2020, we’re so grateful that God had other plans. We also want to express our gratitude to all our supporters, volunteers and prayer warriors. Here are 6 big projects that were accomplished in 2020:

In March 2020, a small team of volunteers led by Mark Upson travelled to Haiti to install solar power at the ministry compound and both Children’s Homes.The entire project was funded by faithful supporters of the ministry, and we received donated electrical supplies through our friends at AllSale Electric. 

This is a significant accomplishment because it allows the ministry to be more independent and to substantially reduce overhead costs.

The ministry compound is now figuratively and literally a light to its surrounding communities. 

In September 2020, a small team of volunteers led by Chuck Miller travelled to Haiti to lay the foundation of the Secondary School, which resides on the Mercy Home property. 

The secondary school allows for our children, once restaveks, to advance their education. These children will now be able to pursue a career that will allow them to provide for their future families. They won’t have to lose heir children to slavery, as they once were indebted to themselves. One by one, they will help break the backbone of slavery in Haiti. 

The first 20 secondary school students began classes in November 2020.

Once the Mercy Home was completed and as the effects of Covid-19 died down in Haiti, Pastor Poyis was able to work with the Brigade for the Protection of Minors (BPM) to provide a home for children rescued from slavery. 

Over the course of just a few weeks, the Regency and Mercy Children’s Homes welcomed 45 new faces. Lord-willing, we will soon fill both Homes to capacity.

With the installation of solar power, the ministry was open the Medical Clinic Lab. Now powered 24/7, the technician is able to perform many needed tests, as well as refrigerate samples and medications.

The Lab is providing critical services for the surrounding communities, providing more options for better medical care. Overall, this provides more opportunities to share the Gospel and invite visiting patients to join the church.

After several years of patiently waiting and a few delayed attempts to have a U.S. volunteer team upgrade Pastor Charles Michelet’s church building, it finally happened in November 2020. A small team generously gave their time to help construct a new church building. 

Pastor Michelet is now able to better serve his church and community. With the expanded building size, Lord-willing, more families will be joining the church. 

We consider this a significant accomplishment since our philosophy of ministry is to connect the U.S. church to the Haitian church.

During the onset of Covid-19 in Haiti, borders were closed and our typical process of providing food for ministry in Haiti was halted. In continued partnership with Children’s Hunger Fund and our network of pastors, we were able to develop a Haitian-based food pack distribution system. 

This enables pastors in our network to continue meeting both physical and spiritual needs in their communities.
