Stories of Hope | January 2024

WE WILL NEVER FORGET
It’s been just over 14 years since the tragic earthquake struck Port Au Prince, Haiti, marking the country forever. Since that devastating day, we have seen the strength of the people of Haiti as they have pressed on amidst unimaginable circumstances. We believe God is not finished with Haiti, and we know He is committed to working through His church to reach the hurting and vulnerable.

HAITI: CAP-HAITIEN CAMPUS

The Mission of Hope campus on the Northern Coast of Haiti in Cap-Haitien has provided us with the opportunity to reach about 40% of the nutrition partners in our program who had previously been cut off due to gang activity and roadblocks.

As a key piece of the nutrition program, we are also actively pursuing ways to continue to grow the in-country agriculture program and increase food production in Haiti to pour back into the economy. Our initiatives, including the Farm Field School, the Farmer Training Program, and the school gardens, are all integral contributors to agricultural growth in Haiti.

The meals that are shipped to Haiti are a necessary component given the severity of the hunger crisis. From partners including Convoy of Hope, one of our longtime nutrition partners, to each and every individual who packs meals at a Mission of Hope meal-packing event —everyone plays a part in getting a healthy meal in front of a hungry child.

Please pray for blessing and provision for our partners who send these critical meals to Haiti.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: AGGIES HOPEGO TRIP

aggies trip 2024

The year ended with an energetic HopeGo team who served in the Dominican Republic to wrap up 2023—the first full year of ministry in and around Jarabacoa, where our Dominican Republic campus is located. This group of student-athletes hosted kid’s clubs and sports camps in new communities, did strategic ministry time (SMT), and celebrated the personal transformation of the gospel by ending their week with baptisms. Every day of the week, the team worked hand-in-hand, alongside the local pastor in the community to work with and through the local church.

What a blessing it was to be able to serve a beautiful community of loving people with an awesome group of fellow athletes. I’ll remember this week in the DR forever because of how much happiness I felt seeing God work through people I love. Seeing the change we were able to help make there was truly amazing, and seeing how much change in turn the week had on our group is something I'll never forget.

Francenia’s Story: A Story of Resilience and Faith Imagine fleeing your home country—not because you wanted to, but because you felt that you had no choice. This was Francenia’s* reality three years ago. A mother from Cabaret, Haiti, Francenia made the heartbreaking decision to leave everything she knew behind. Her home. Her community. Her roots. Gang violence had made staying impossible. She crossed into the Dominican Republic, uncertain of what the future held, but determined to protect her family. Francenia’s story is one of resilience and faith. She recalls the days when her children attended school at the Mission of Hope campus in Titanyen, Haiti, and the times she found care and compassion at our clinic there, too. Those moments brought hope and stability during difficult times. Yet,

Neika's Story of Hope - Mission of Hope

Neika's Story of Hope Neika, a student in one of the schools in our nutrition program, recently shared her story. "When my mom was pregnant with me, my dad left. My mom was always the one who took care of me. And then, in 2021, my mom died. I can still remember the day so clearly. I felt so hopeless when I lost my mom. I didn't know what would happen to me. My mom's cousin is a teacher, and she and her husband took me in to care for me. They put me in school. I thank God for them every day. Today, I am in the 6th grade! And I love school. Math is my favorite subject—it makes me feel smart when I can solve a problem. I also love getting to be with friends at school and eating lunch together. The food helps us focus, which is important—especially during exam time. One day, I dream of becomin
