We Are Not Leaving: One Mission

ONE MISSION

This is an important update regarding Mission of Hope’s ongoing efforts to support our brothers and sisters in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Recently, the Haitian government requested our assistance in providing critical food and aid to some of the country's most vulnerable areas.

In response—and with a firm conviction not to look away—we have delivered over 544,320 meals to the border and are preparing to deploy our ship, True North, to deliver life-saving food and aid to areas cut off by gang violence and impassable roads.

With escalating violence, Haiti continues to remain cut off from basic necessities and critical aid, and we have an opportunity and a responsibility as an organization to do whatever we can to serve the most vulnerable.

True North is a vital resource, a tool God has given us to serve those in need. Rather than sitting in a safe harbor, True North will be deployed into the heart of the crisis, bringing not only food and aid but also a message of hope.

The hunger crisis extends beyond Haiti.

In the Dominican Republic, our team is diligently working with families and individuals in desperate need of food. Current reports indicate that 1,173,051 people face a food crisis, with an additional 33,387 people in a food emergency, meaning they do not know where their next meal will come from. Our team on the ground has personally witnessed completely deplorable conditions that many families are living in, and it’s heartbreaking, to say the least. It’s inhumane, unsanitary, and deeply disturbing. We cannot look away and pretend like this is not happening.

Mission of Hope’s response to these needs is One Mission.

This is our strategic plan to reach the most vulnerable people as swiftly as possible, providing relief to families, individuals, and communities who struggle to access the most basic necessities.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

First, we ask for your prayers. Pray for the women and children who are on the brink of starvation. Pray for the hands delivering food and aid. Pray for the safety of our staff as they risk their lives to reach the most vulnerable.

Secondly, we ask that you prayerfully consider joining us on this One Mission. Our goal is to raise $1.8 million by the end of the year to impact over 500,000 people. On average, it costs $3.60 to meet one person’s essential needs this season. How many will you help impact?

IMPACT | COST

  • 10 people > $36
  • 100 people > $360
  • 1000 people > $3600
  • 10,000 people > $36,000
This is only possible with your support and partners like you who believe in this mission and the ability to bring hope and healing to those who need it most across Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Densia’s Story

Esterline’s story began in a place of deep fear and uncertainty. His mom was very sick, and their family had already spent everything they had trying to help her; going from place to place, even to a voodoo doctor, hoping something would work. But nothing changed. She was still just as sick, and they were left with no money and no answers. In the middle of dealing with his mother’s illness and his own desperation for her to get better, Esterline cried out to God. “If you save my mom,” he prayed, “I will follow you for the rest of my life.” Not long after, he asked his small group leader and their village champion to come to his home and pray. As they stood together and lifted up his mom, something powerful happened. Not just physically, but spiritually. In that moment, she chose to put her trust in Jesus.And things began to change. Day by day, her health started to improve… until she was completely healed. But the story doesn’t stop there. Esterline remembered the promise he made. He went to the village champion and said, “I need Jesus. I remember my promise to God.” And he chose to follow Him. Now, instead of fear filling their home, there is joy. Instead of searching for answers, they have found hope. Together, they go to church. Together, they worship. What started as desperation turned into a story of healing.

March was packed, and we can’t wait to tell you about it! Over the course of the month of March, 361 team members came alongside the work in the Dominican Republic, helping serve 1,535 people through medical care and reaching 746 more through Strategic Ministry Time. We welcomed over 2,200 kids into Kids Club, and most importantly, we celebrated 61 people who made the decision to follow Christ! While in the community of Los Higos, one of our teams spent time with a couple who are both battling cancer. After spending most of their savings on medication, they were often left without enough money to even buy clean drinking water. Through local church leaders, we were able to reach their home and give them a water filter that will provide safe, clean water for the next 10 years. As the team shared how the filter takes water that isn’t safe and transforms it into something clean and pure, they explained how Jesus does the same in our lives—washing, restoring, and making us new. Sitting there in their home, the couple was moved to tears. In that moment, both chose to accept Christ. We are so thankful for every team member that came down, ready to serve, share the Gospel and bring hope to every man, woman and child across the Dominican Republic.
