The Hope of Christmas
We rejoice that we can hold fast to the promises in God’s Word. This rings especially true as we quickly approach the Christmas season, when we celebrate the ultimate promise: Jesus Christ, the Messiah. We were separated from God, and our consequence was clear. BUT GOD intervened and sent His Son for us. The promise of Isaiah 9:6 has come to fruition!
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
This is the reason we celebrate Christmas. This is the reason we have hope. This is the HOPE we can share with the people of Haiti!
Give the Gift of Hope This Christmas
This Christmas, we’re raising funds to equip our new property to become a trade school. Animal husbandry, welding, carpentry, and sewing are a few of the skills that set young adults up for success in Haitian society, and we want to do everything we can to prepare our kids well for the next stage of life. As the training center develops, we envision some of our older students taking on direct responsibility both in the classroom and in business management behind the scenes.
Here are some ways you can partner with us.

introductory training in animal husbandry. - Goat ($150)—Goat milk offers a sustainable source of dietary fat and healthy

Honor a Loved One
This Christmas season, you can brighten someone’s day by dedicating your gift in memory or honor of a loved one.
The Christmas season can be a difficult time of year for those who have lost loved ones. When you dedicate your gift in memory of a loved one, Connect 2 Ministries will mail a certificate to the person of your choice. We’ll let them know you made this gift possible and share a glimpse of the impact it will have in the life of a person in Haiti.
Christmas time is also a great opportunity to honor those you love. We’ll also send a certificate to the person of your choice when you dedicate your gift in honor of a loved one.
