Looking Back on 2023

This year has been a whirlwind, to say the least. We have faced many new challenges as a result of the ongoing unrest in Haiti, but God has done some amazing things through it all. The Lord has enabled us to continue providing for our children’s safety and well-being, despite us recently rehoming all our children and staff due to increased gang presence in Onaville. We have strengthened and cultivated relationships with our current and new US partners, and we have found innovative ways to circumvent gang control by sending food and supplies to Haiti without using the ports. We [...]

Christmas This Year

On the outskirts of Port-au-Prince in Onaville this year, gangs took control. Many people were forced to leave their homes, and the kids from our Children’s Homes were among them. The last few months have brought uncertainty and challenges as a result. Because of the social and political instability in the country, this Christmas will look a little different than it has in the past for our friends in Haiti. Yet despite troubling circumstances, our children, staff, and pastors are looking ahead to December 25 with a renewed sense of unity and hope. This Christmas, the Children’s Homes and compound [...]

Giving Tuesday 2023

Mac and Anne McGaha have served with Connect 2 Ministries for more than ten years, and they have served alongside us on many of our trips to Haiti. As we recognize Giving Tuesday, we asked the McGahas to share their thoughts on living life for others. We went to Haiti for the first time on a trip with Wheels for the World, and that's how we first met Greg. We were really impressed with how Connect 2 Ministries was working in Haiti. Everything was organized, and they knew what they were doing. That trip was the beginning of an enduring [...]

Missions in the Bible, Part 2

Because of the peace and hope we’ve received in our own salvation, we seek to make Jesus known wherever we go. Whether in our local communities or in a foreign country, our heart is to see the lost come to Christ. To that end, we’re looking today at five more aspects of missions in the Bible. Missions is God working through us. God calls His church to live as messengers for Christ in this world. We share the good news, and God works through us, His children. “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. [...]

Missions in the Bible, Part 1

We talk a lot about missions. As Christians, we all have a mission from God to make disciples in the world. But what does that look like practically, and how is it modeled in the Bible? Today we’re taking a look at God’s word on missions from the pages of Scripture. Missions has a purpose. God designed for His people to play a role in the salvation of others; our job is to share the good news of forgiveness in Christ. “For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that [...]

2023 World Day Against Child Labor

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” —Romans 12:2 As Christians, it’s easy to do things that aren’t wrong in themselves, for no reason other than that they’re familiar to us. It’s easy to get caught up in the culture. But if we take Romans 12:2 literally, the patterns of this world are at odds with biblical truth. If that is true, then the question for us becomes what are [...]

A Letter to the Church

Whenever the culture goes through a metamorphosis, we know there will be changes for the church to deal with as well. In our Judeo-Christian society, it used to be that people would come to the church when they were hurting. People looked to pastors and even Christians in general as a source of peace and comfort. But that doesn’t happen as often anymore. As believers, we have a fresh opportunity—to stop waiting for people to come in, and instead go out, find them, and extend hope to them through the gospel. Faith and works go hand in hand (James 2:26). [...]

Supporting Missions with Your Family

At Connect 2 Ministries, we believe that ministry is a community effort. The Great Commission is a call to all God’s people, and making disciples is not something we do in isolation. That’s why we try to encourage families to make missions a regular part of life. Here are some practical things you can do to get started. Pray Together. Prayer is the most powerful thing we can do as Christians, and the best thing you can do to get your family involved in ministry is to pray together.

Supporting Missions—The Dell Family

The Dell family has supported Connect 2 Ministries for years, and like many of our faithful supporters, they make a point of including their children in family ministry. We asked Jon and Melissa to share today about their experience getting their whole family involved in missions. When my wife and I got married, neither of us were pursuing God or anything involving ministry. Although I was raised in a Christian church and had been involved in Christian community in the past, it wasn’t until our first daughter was born twelve years ago that we realized our need for a [...]

Supporting Missions—The Susdorf Family

The Susdorf family has supported Connect 2 Ministries for years, and like many of our faithful supporters, they make a point of including their children in family ministry. We asked Kelsey and Stephen to share today about their experience getting their whole family involved in missions. We first had an opportunity to go to Haiti in 2011. Stephen and I had been married for about a year and felt a pull to go on a short-term international trip that we could share together. Our small group leaders, Jeff and Denise Tritt, encouraged us to look at Connect 2 Ministries. [...]
