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 [...]

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 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 [...]

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'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, [...]

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 Greg, our February team leader, to share some reflections from the trip. The team we took in February was on the larger side in terms of numbers. When it comes to logistics on a building trip, it’s always helpful to have more hands on deck. Construction work goes faster when more [...]

Doing church in the US or any western country involves some bureaucracy. As Christians, we are subject to the governing authorities. We are responsible to order our finances, documents, and records so that we are able to give an account. But is it ever possible to go too far in the name of stewardship and responsibility? One downside of the bureaucratized church model is that it creates a tighter margin for ministry. When government took over meeting the needs of the poor, it took something away from the church. Historically, the church has been the organization that built hospitals, food [...]

June 12 is World Day Against Child Labor, and every year, this day gives us reason to seek the Lord in prayer while thanking Him for the work He has already done in Haiti. Dozens of children rescued from slavery now call our C2M family home, living in an environment where they are loved, educated, and given a hope-filled future. All of this is from the Lord. 34.4% of children ages 5–14 are working1 This means nearly 816,000 Haitian children are child laborers. 741,000 children are displaced2 12% of the total population are displaced, representing a 36% increase since December [...]
