One of the most practical ways we serve the church in Haiti is through short-term ministry trips. Teams from our US partner churches come to serve and encourage the church in Haiti in a variety of ways, and it’s always a refreshing time for those involved. Today, we asked Kevin, one of the volunteers from our April team, to share some reflections from the trip. Our focus on this trip was installing the electrical wiring, and we got a lot of stuff done. We were able to run a lot of wiring before we realized we were short on some [...]

One of the most practical ways we serve the church in Haiti is through short-term ministry trips. Teams from our US partner churches come to serve and encourage the church in Haiti in a variety of ways, and it's always a refreshing time for those involved. Today, we asked Bill, our April team leader, to share some reflections from the trip. One of our primary goals was to completely rewire the electrical system throughout the ministry compound. We had an unexpected shipping error that meant the electrical boxes we received were the wrong ones, but the team still managed to [...]

Teams from our US partner churches come to serve and encourage the church in Haiti in a variety of ways, and it's always a refreshing time for those involved. Today, we asked John, one of the volunteers from our February team, to share some reflections from the trip. The trip was great. The new property has so much potential, and I really enjoyed getting some construction projects done. I also loved seeing how much the kids have grown physically and spiritually since a [...]

The local church is God's primary means for reaching a world in need. As believers obey the gospel call to go and make disciples, they reach out with the love of Christ to the lost, the broken, and the hurting around them. Spiritual compassion is at the forefront, but compassion for temporal suffering is a strong component as well. That reality is the basis for our outreach efforts around food instability in Haiti. Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) provides specialized meal-replacement resources called MannaPacks—a form of Mother Administered Nutritive Aid. Each MannaPack is designed to deliver the precise nutrition a [...]

Teams from our US partner churches come to serve and encourage the church in Haiti in a variety of ways, and it'as always a refreshing time for those involved. Today, we asked Mark, one of the volunteers from our February team, to share some reflections from the trip. The biggest thing that stood out to me during this trip was the change in the kids from November 2020, when I was last there, to now. I noticed it during the Sunday church service—where [...]

Celebration can look dramatically different depending on where you live. We've been thinking about this recently as Mission Église Chrétienne Rédemptrice, our church in Haiti, just celebrated Haitian Mother's Day. In the US, we celebrate moms with flowers, cards, or a nice meal—something special to mark the day. In Haiti, many mothers spend Mother's Day carrying heavy bags of food supplies home, sometimes walking miles so they can provide a meal for their children. While cultures may differ, one thing remains the same: a mother's God-given desire to care for her family. When our church was founded twelve years ago, [...]
