Facing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, Haiti is on the brink of state failure.

The security situation in Haiti has reached a crisis level. Fundamental human safety and security are evaporating as armed gangs increasingly control the country. People are hungry, roads are unsafe, supplies are scarce, and many international organizations have shut their doors and left the country. The spiral only continues further downward each day.

But countless churches and Christian organizations in Haiti – including our partners in Leogane, Hospital Saint-Croix, the FSIL Nursing College, and the Women’s and Children’s Primary Care Center at Darbonne – have remained open and continue to serve the needy. In fact, they are caring for even more people than before since other facilities have closed their doors. But their situation grows more desperate with each passing month of instability.

Thankfully, we serve the God who is the anchor in any storm and whose children are on every shore.

Churches in Haiti are ministering, meeting and praying. On April 2nd they will pray with the knowledge that other children of God in the USA are praying intentionally with them. The churches in Haiti are excited and thankful for prayer support.

On April 2nd, can the people of Haiti count on you to do one or more of the following?

  • Pray with Haiti in your Sunday School or small group.
  • Share the petitions of the Church in Haiti in your congregation and pause for a moment of prayer.
  • Declare a period of prayer soon in which you will pray the prayers of the Haitian Church.
  • Include Haiti’s prayers in an existing prayer already planned for Sunday, April 2nd.
  • Share the call to prayer with other churches and Christians in your community.
