Earthquakes, hurricanes and an unsafe security situation. These are the challenges that the people of Haiti face, and Hope Force continues to respond.
Hope Force and our Haiti directors are actively working to provide food, build another latrine, and help manage our child sponsorship program from the U.S. But, it is heartbreaking to only visit sporadically, and for those visits to pose incredible personal danger.
Thankfully, Hope Force’s presence in Haiti for the past several years has given our ministry a pathway to serve families and children who are struggling with the chronic need crisis. We have been able to erect shelters, latrines for sanitation, distribute school supplies, and more.
Prayer Requests for Haiti
- Please pray for the overall security situation for the HFI team and the people we serve. Gangs have been trying to move into some of the rural communities close to the Hope Force base. The police are trying to combat the bandits and thankfully, our immediate area is relatively calm at the moment.
- Pray for the many Haitians, including many children, who are displaced from their homes and facing famine and hunger.
- Pray for the upcoming school year! There’s a huge challenge to obtain school supplies for the 200+ children in the Child Sponsorship Program (CSP). As the roads to the city are closed, extra finances are needed to get the supplies to our area.
- Pray that the HFI Haiti team would have wisdom to see if we can help displaced people. A recent alarm was sent out by local organizations and local media that people are hungry and have no other place to go, and at the moment, they are in a school facility.
