Supporting Missions—The Aust Family

The Aust family has supported Connect 2 Ministries for years, and they make a point of including their children, Eisley and Avison, in family ministry. We asked Kevin and Tina to share today about their experience getting their whole family involved in missions. One year, my daughter, Eisley, asked our family to give Bibles on her behalf to the children in Haiti instead of buying her gifts for Christmas. I’m not sure why she did this. She was 10 or 11 at the time, and we had recently been talking about Connect 2 Ministries and the Regency Home. I [...]

VBS 2022 Recap

During the last week of 2022, Pastor Poyis organized multiple VBS programs for the communities around Onaville. He asked all of our Mercy Network pastors to participate, and we were so excited to hear that each of the ten VBS programs was successful. The churches were full! The older children in our Homes are once again serving children in their surrounding communities. While it’s encouraging to watch these kids grow from a distance, it’s a special blessing to see them serving meals, leading worship and acting out Bible stories for 250 children who need the light [...]

Ministry Under Pressure

This last year has been one of adjustments. Haiti’s continued social and political turmoil has made us think outside the box about ways to support our ministry partners in Haiti, and we have seen some encouraging fruit. In the midst of dark times, God is still at work. We have been able to give food recently (in a very limited capacity), but we’ve still been able to offer some resources through our clinic and serve as support for our Mercy Network pastors. Pastor Poyis and Jimmy are in communication with these men consistently, and they are faithful to let [...]

Staff Testimony—Greg Barshaw

“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.” —Isaiah 12:2 I came to Christ very young. I was always taught to react to my sin in a negative way and to realize the only way I could experience freedom from guilt was to turn to Christ for salvation. It was a very simple gospel, and it really got hold of my heart. I was five when I walked the aisle, and I can't measure my life a whole [...]

Mercy Network

We talk often about our Mercy Network, but have you ever wondered how this branch of our ministry began? The work our pastors do in their communities is a major extension of the heart of Connect 2 in Haiti—from distributing food to offering spiritual help, these men consistently and wholeheartedly invest in the people around them. And we invest in them because of it. The Mercy Network got its start when we began our partnership with Children's Hunger Fund. CHF's model is church-centric, so when they give food or supplies, they don't simply give to an organization and trust [...]

Stories of Rescue

It’s a new year, and we couldn’t be more encouraged! As we look forward to what God has in store for 2023, we also want to pause and remember the amazing work He’s done already. Below are stories from two former restavek kids—child slaves—who have found safety, peace, and hope through the ministry of God’s church in Haiti. Fabian We teach in our Mercy Network churches that abuse, in whatever form it takes, is unacceptable—to the degree that if you have a neighbor who's abusing a child, you need to be involved in putting an end to it. Well, [...]
