Hope & Salvation in Haiti

We continue to send short-term teams to Haiti. Steve Hammonds currently serves as Ministry Coordinator for Haiti; World Race alumnus Mark Newland is leading teams this summer in Haiti. Here are some of their highlights from and reflections of ministry there so far. Steve’s been in Haiti since the end of May and here’s how God’s been moving: Twenty-six people, as of July 13, 2011, have been baptized! One team led a family of four to salvation. This family stopped Steve and the team in the street: …They wanted to give their lives to God and asked...

Church-Church

Josh Lawson and several others from Journey Community Church of La Mesa, CA have been partnering with Church of God Mission by Faith in Carrefour (just outside of Port-au-Prince), Haiti. Nearly a year and half since the earthquake first struck, there’s still much to be done. Haiti may have faded out of the news cycle awhile ago, but not from Journey Church’s heart and mind (and certainly, God hasn’t forgotten at all). Josh has been to Carrefour three times and on Friday will be heading back to Haiti to lead a trip through our Church-to-Church ministry. He’ll...

Status of Haiti

I just read an excellent blog post by Adam McLane, remembering the one-year anniversary of the earthquake. As you may remember, Adam was one of our first Haiti mission trip team members as part of the Youth Ministry Advance Team. He makes a compelling argument for why the solution to Haiti’s continued struggles is you (and me). Here is an excerpt: A year ago the earth shook and the world changed. Billions were given. Tens of thousands have gone to help. Yet not much has changed. The poor suffered. The rich got richer. More people died needlessly. The UN has...

Ministry Stories

It’s been a year since the earthquake hit Haiti; Patti Gibbons shares her love for this nation, which has grown over half a decade and her experience of ministry last month in Port-au-Prince. In a sweltering summer music festival exhibit tent, I talked with the missionary to Haiti in the neighboring booth; it was the first time I felt that tug on my heart. She spoke lovingly about Haiti’s people, clearly about the spiritual challenges there, and passionately about reasons she saw for the pervasive generational poverty which kept the people there oppressed. That...

200 Hours of Prayer for 200 Years of Reclamation

Youth With A Mission (YWAM) has had a presence in Haiti, in St. Marc, since 1991. In 2008, there was a vision to establish a YWAM base in Port-au-Prince, which was realized days after the earthquake struck in January of this year. Fire and Fragrance is a ministry YWAM that pairs prayer and missions together. Several YWAM missionaries based in Kona, Hawaii with Fire and Fragrance, have been ministering not only with their worship and intercession but also by bringing hands-on relief. These missionaries have been spearheading a prayer initiative that will begin...
