Please be praying for Haiti. The gangs are moving into the mountains and trying to take over communities. People are fighting back and innocent people are getting caught in the middle.there are several people hiding in the hills . We need your prayers

It's been a very long time since our last post. Many of you know the situation in Haiti. I am so glad we can report that we were able to have a VBS this year. April worked with several people in the mission while we lived there and the work is continuing. The last day of VBS we had over 200 kids. That's a lot of souls hearing about Jesus in the midst of the chaos. Please pray for Haiti. Thank you to all of you who are continuing to give financially. The work is continuing. God is working.

Found this on Jeremy's Facebook account. This is still true today. Only now they are helping their people to survive. It is getting g harder and harder to get money to the right people. But April gets it through. Please remember Joel, April, Emma and Michael as they watch the country they love just implode. Pray for them ,support them. Thank you, Jeremy's mom Toni.

We would really appreciate your prayers for our Mission Church, school, and clinic in Despinos. As of this point, the gangs are surrounding our home base there, but have not really tried to come into the town. It has been reported that there are possibly 2 gangs wanting to come together and try to take over the town. We dont know what this means for Despinos, but we know that Prayer works. We would like everyone to be praying for a hedge of protection around Despinos and its local villages. This is a very urgent need.

We appreciate your prayers for our church in Response. With teens, woman's, men's group and our children's program going, we want to see our church members are safe. We pray for God's hand of protection around all the churches and church leaders and members. May God be glorified through all of the chaos. Thank you all for you continued prayers and support. We need it now more than ever

Haiti is now facing a gas shortage. This effects everything Haiti and it's making a fragile state become more so. The gangs are testing their limits. The Haitian Gov has offered to pay the ransom for the missionaries, but the gang refuses waiting on America's response. Please pray for Haiti. The people are hurting.

So far, Haitian officials are saying little about how they’ll resolve this crisis.

Ministry continues in adversity. God is in control even when things feel out of control. Please pray for Haiti. People still need Jesus, and Jesus still seeks to change people's lives. Pray for us, support the ministry, and let's see what God does with our faithfulness

The HGM clinic and mission house are running on solar power. This is beneficial to keep Diesel costs down. We have 6 on the clinic but we have been told we need 12 to run efficiently. At the mission house, there are 2 panels, and we thank all of you who gave towards those , the generator, and batteries. We need 4 more to make the most of the sunshine and protect the batteries more effectively. At this point, one solar panel costs around $180.
Would you like to help us purchase the panels we need? Please let us know by message or you can contact us directly

He is Risen! What a great Easter Sunday in Haiti. Every year we have the privilege of baptizing new believers and people who are taking that next step in their Christian walk. At sunrise we gather around the cold water of the baptism and rejoice as our brothers and sister make that important decision to declare publicly, the work God is doing in their life. Such a precious moment. God is so Good!!!
