Pray with Us, Part 2

Prayer is more than a formula or prescription—it is rooted in relationship and may look different at different times and in different seasons. Yet there are a few constants in our ongoing prayer requests, and those requests reflect our constant need of the Lord. Here are a few examples. 1. Leadership. One of the key areas where we ask for prayer is for our leadership team. We pray for wisdom, discernment, and strength in navigating challenges and making decisions.

Pray with Us, Part 1

We’ve seen God work powerfully in our ministry over the years, and one of the ways this has been most obvious is through answered prayer. Bringing requests before the Lord is our privilege as His children, and He delights to hear us when we come to Him. Whether praying individually or collectively, God’s plan has always been for His church to carry out kingdom work in the context of relationship with Him. Here are some reasons why. 1. Spiritual Foundation. Ministering to others starts with a strong foundation in relationship with God, and prayer lays the groundwork. When we pray, [...]

Continuing Our Onaville Legacy

Moving to the central plateau has brought some transitions for our ministry, one of which is learning how to navigate life in a new area while also looking to develop ministry in a second region—Onaville.

Watch this video interview as Greg Barshaw shares his heart for our Onaville campus. To learn more about building hope with [...]

2025 World Day of Social Justice

Haiti is a nation in crisis. Gang rule has created widespread injustice that consistently affects the weakest and most vulnerable members of society—the poor, women, and children. Haiti has faced political instability, natural disasters, and socioeconomic challenges that have contributed to ongoing violence, exploitation, and neglect. Lack of access to education and healthcare, along with sexual violence and human trafficking are challenges that many face on a daily basis. As Christians, we have an opportunity to come before the Lord in prayer, seeking God’s intervention for the sake of the gospel. As part of the global church, we also have [...]

Ministry Expansion, Part 1
