Hitting the Ground Running

We’ve been in Haiti for 1 month and already we see the seed God planted in our hearts nearly 2 years ago growing and bearing fruit as we live out the Gospel in Haiti together as a family!

Ministry Updates:

 We are spending weekday mornings engaged in elementary education at The Agape Academy. Our kids have joined the children from the Agape House for school and we are helping as teachers.
  • We are engaged in pastoral counseling and discipleship on a weekly basis with kids at God’s Children Orphanage. Many of these kids have significant developmental and physical delays and disabilities, and most come from traumatic backgrounds. We are each taking specific children to counsel one on one and doing Bible classes.
  • Our family has begun a relationship with the children at a local Haitian-run orphanage. We fed them breakfast one day this week and we are praying about future ministry with the kids in this very poor orphanage.
  • On Sundays our family has been worshiping in a beautiful upstairs room at God’s Children Orphanage along with other missionary families and the children of the orphanage. Chris is preaching there in English again this Sunday.
  • This Sunday will be the first worship service in our Haitian church plant on the hill in Bo Lyce. This is where our journey in Haiti began with Christina’s first mission trip here nearly 2 years ago. We have strong relationships on that hill and they have asked for us to plant a church there. Chris will be preaching through our good friend and translator Pastor Daniel. We will discuss a name for the worship gathering this week.
  • Our current Matthew 25 project – rebuilding Denise’s house – is almost complete. Michelle Brady has done a fantastic job raising funds and coordinating this project through Minadia (DaDa). We are planning several similar projects in Bo Lyce.
  • February 23rd we will be doing an administrative seminar with the pastors of Legliz Ansamn (Churches Together). We will make a schedule for our family to attend worship services several Sundays this year at these Haitian churches for Chris to preach a message of church unity and Gospel vision in each of the churches. We will also be planning upcoming seminars. Through mentoring these pastors and investing into discipleship among Haitian children we can plant seeds for a lasting impact in Haiti.
  • We are always reaching out in small ways every day to spread the Gospel and be witnesses the to light of Christ. Contact us for more information.
