Hope Haitian Ministries

---

Hope Haitian began as our vision of   a means to share the hope of Jesus Christ we are privileged to witness in Haiti. We  first went to Lamarre, Haiti in 2007 to connect with our adopted son’s family.    As expected we  found that most Haitians   struggle to  provide food and basic needs for themselves and their families.  But  unexepectedly, we also found that the Haitians are a people of joy, with love and praise for their Lord, Jesus Christ.   We wanted to share this  hope and joy with  people in the United States - and  music, dance and friendship seemed the most obvious way to do so.   An d   so  in   2012    Hope Haitian Choir was born.  

In the summer of 2014, Hope Haitian Ministries was formed and was approved as a 501(c)3 corporation.  The ministry has evolved into so much more than bringing several children to the states each year to be a part of Hope Haitian Choir.   We   buiIt the     Eglise Biblique Espoir de Lamarre   church,  and then the School of Hope   which   currently enrolls 274   elementary school   children.    We support the education of several older students, and  help    provide  basic needs to the people   of  Lamarre, where our son's family still lives.
 
 In the fall of 2018, the ministry partnered with Compassion International which has allowed us to expand  our educational programs and provide sponsorships for individual students.  There are exciting plans ahead, as God wills, for the purchase of land and the building of a high school, as well as radio station, and an urgently needed well   for the town.
