Springtime greetings from Haiti in the name of Jesus!
The humanitarian crisis in Haiti has worsened since our last newsletter. Gangs have taken control of even more area in and around Port au Prince.

Because of this, living conditions for the average Haitian have gone from very bad to worse as Haitians have 20% less to spend on food and essential items. This is a desperate situation! Last year, the Haitian government, which sets the price of fuel, announced an increase...
Greetings from Haiti in the name of Jesus! Please continue to pray for the work here in Haiti. As we mentioned in our last newsletter, the U.S. Department of State raised the travel advisory for Haiti to the highest level, level 4 Red, do not travel. Since that time the travel advisory has been lowered to level 3 Orange. The level 3 advisory states; reconsider travel to Haiti due to crime, civil unrest and kidnapping and as a result, many of the...
