Executive Director, Northwest Haiti Christian Mission Canada

The Work in Haiti

Dear Ones, Beloved of the Lord,

There has been so much work that we have been doing over the last couple of years that I have not really had time to write about. This morning, in my spirit, I feel strongly that I should tell you of some of these things.

First, some background: When we first started working in Haiti, it was with an American Mission, Northwest Haiti Christian Mission. Several Canadian churches got together and built a pharmacy on their property in St. Louis du Nord. A much loved Canadian, Maureen, set up and ran the medical laboratory. Later, Maureen became the director of the pharmacy as well as the lab.

During all this time, we began growing in Canada, and were recognized as a charitable organization. It seemed natural to us to call ourselves by the same name, Northwest Haiti Christian Mission, adding Canada to the title. We never dreamed of doing anything else.

Dear Ones, beloved of the Lord,

I know that you talk to our Father regularly about the work that we do in Haiti. Thank you for doing this.

When we first came to Haiti, we were discouraged by the amount of work and resources we could pour into the work, and how big the needs remained when we went home. Some years ago, hoping for some kind of sustainable difference to be made in the country, I almost quit going to Haiti, because it seemed that the needs were greater than any effort could change.

The child was having so much trouble breathing, that under his ribs was sucking into a great hollow with every breath. And he was breathing more rapidly than I have ever seen a child breath. Each breath had almost a bark in it. Each was convulsive.

Patients going to church

Dear Ones,

Attached is another photo. This is one of my patients who got up early, rose from sick bed, to dress as well as they could, to attend church this morning. Last night we talked about how a man went to see Jesus on a stretcher, carried by friends. When he could not get in the door, they climbed a roof with him and let him down through the roof.
