Spiritual Growth
Our goal for The Mission Church of Haiti is to establish a church that will be self-propagating, self-governing, and self-supporting. This is especially important in communities where hopelessness, powerlessness, and inadequate resources are common. We are committed to providing Christ-centered training to the people of Jeremie, Haiti and surrounding regions with the following:
• Pastoral and Leadership Training
• Wise Stewardship of Resources/Funds
• Family Life Training
• Community Outreach
• Children’s Ministry
• Church Planting
• Evangelism and Discipleship
Relief Aid for Immediate Physical Needs
Clean drinking water is a critical need among the people of Haiti. Approximately 80% of all illnesses in Haiti are caused by contaminated drinking water. We dug the first solar well in the Grande Anse region. The solar well is a game changer in this area. The community was constantly sick from bad water coming from the river everyone uses. We now see smiling faces coming to our campus daily to get safe drinking water.
We have also established a Children's Feeding Program where we are currently providing nearly 300 children with one warm micronutrient-enriched meal each day.
Microeconomics Development
Microeconomics Programs are market-based programs that provide impoverished people with resources to start and maintain their own businesses. Once immediate physical needs are met, long-term solutions to poverty are needed. This is the embodiment of the old saying, “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.”
Our Microeconomics Training Programs offers training in: how to write a business plan, ethical business practices, and financial feasibility of a business proposal. We are providing small business loans on approved projects.
Partnerships with Christian Churches and Charitable Organizations
We are actively engaged in, and pursuing partnerships with, Christian churches and charitable organizations to provide the people of Jeremie with the following:
• Clean Sanitation/Waste Systems
• Ecologically Sound Power Sources
• Structurally Sound Buildings
• Maintenance Training for Buildings
