“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatsoever you ask the Father in my name, He will give it to you.”
John 15:16

Often referred to as “Little Africa”, Haiti occupies one third of the island of Hispaniola in the West Indies. Haiti is roughly the size of Maryland with a population of eight million souls. Eighty percent of the people are unemployed, and it is believed seventy percent are illiterate. The average family subsists on one meal a day, usually rice and beans or boiled cornmeal cooked outside in a pot over a charcoal fire. Kwashiorkor, caused by in inadequate diet, is the greatest crippler and killer of children, with tuberculosis a close second.

The fabric of Haitian culture is heavily woven with voodoo and superstition. With six Coup d’Etats since 1987, their repressive system of government makes Haiti a political land mine. Haitians continue to see more hunger, more pain, and more suffering.

Many Christians pray that Jesus will continue to change lives, governments, and conditions.
