HAITI: EVERY MEAL MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Imagine facing each day with uncertainty about your next meal. This is the harsh reality for many in Haiti, where hunger is a constant reality as the humanitarian crisis worsens. However, for the children in our nutrition program, school offers a break from this uncertainty. School is more than just a place for learning; it’s where a child receives a quality meal, which brings tremendous relief and a sense of security.
Since the beginning of the year, the Mission of Hope team in Haiti has distributed over 10 million meals. That is 10 million times a person has experienced relief from the throws of hunger, 10 million times despair has turned to relief, 10 million moments of provision, and 10 million stories of hope.
Every single meal makes a difference, and on behalf of our courageous Haitian team and the men, women, and children they get to serve, thank you. We cannot say enough about the strength of our Haitian team, the spirit of the communities we serve, and the provision of God’s faithfulness in the midst of some of the hardest things we’ve ever seen in Haiti.
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: HOPE FOR HER - WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT
The most recent Hope for Her trip at the beginning of May was full of meaningful ministry and included women from multiple states and even countries. From hosting a Women’s Day event for local Dominican and Haitian women to distributing water filters and hygiene kits, learning about the lives of local women, hearing from women in ministry in the DR, and more, it was a week full of impact.
One of the best things was a comment that was shared with us about the Women’s Day event. The event served 192 local women and 35 children. Several of the women in attendance were part of organizations that rescue girls from sex trafficking. The realities these women have walked are heartbreaking, and they are often excluded. During the event, one of the organizations shared a photo and said, “Praise Jesus, we get a seat at the table, too.”
That summarizes the heartbeat of these Hope for Her trips and the ministry of Women’s Empowerment. You get a seat at the table. Because of Jesus, we all are offered a seat at the table.
Thank you for your partnership and support. It’s a privilege to serve the people of Haiti and the Dominican Republic together.
