There is Nothing Better than Being Christian

These were the words of a community person who witnessed the church providing brotherhood to a local family. The family needed a new home desperately. Partnering with MNM allowed the church to begin building a new home for this poor family.

What a witness to the community! A church reaching out to help the less fortunate among them. When there is a need, it is not enough to say, “be warmed and filled.” It takes a faith that works. That says, “I will help provide for you because I have been given much.”

“By this will all men know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” God wants to show others his great love through his people showing love to each other. In a previous post, I asked if anyone would be willing to help sponsor this home. God answered our prayers and we got exactly the $3,000 we needed to make this possible. And God is already using this to open the community’s eyes to his love.

On Saturday, the members of Jean’s congregation started by carrying sand from a creek bank to the location of the house. With sweat pouring from their foreheads, a neighbor stops them and says, “there is nothing better than to be a Christian.” He recognized the tremendous gift it is to have brotherhood.

Jean plans to have the house finished in April. Thank you so much to our generous donors. May God richly bless you!

New House Project

There’s a very poor lady who would want My Neighbor Missions to build a new house. Her name is Guirlène Joseph. She has 5 children (not all pictured). This family is very poor. We usually do food kits for her on Sundays. This project would require about $3,000. Would you be willing to donate to help sponsor this project? Find out how here: Donations

With the projected pause in US aid, Haiti is continuing to suffer as the gangs disrupt the already impoverished economy. Many people are hungry, not even having enough food, let alone being able to fund a necessary building project. Jobs are scarce and most are left without a way to provide for their families. Please continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in Haiti.

Happy New Year

God is faithful. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever more. Even as Haiti continues to suffer under the influence of the gangs controlling the country, God is still faithful. We at MNM have seen his faithfulness is 2024. Pastor Jean has been able to continue showing the love of God to the underprivileged in his community. More than ever hands and feet of Jesus are needed to care for those in extreme poverty. My Neighbor Missions continues to be a part of making that happen in Haiti. We have been able to set up a 501-c3 and are now officially a non-profit organization. MNM was able to sponsor 30 children again for the 2024-25 school year, thanks to our generous sponsors. Each $450 donation covered tuition, uniforms, and school supplies, as well as a daily meal at school, for one child. We are so grateful for the way God has allowed us to be a part of his work in Haiti.

Please continue to pray for the situation in Haiti, that peace could once again come to this country. We want God’s light to shine brighter than ever in this darkness. We pray that the children receiving a Christian education will be a part of the kingdom of God in Haiti. Thank you for your support.

Rabbits for the Poor

In November of 2023, Jean started preparing a space to raise rabbits. The idea was that the rabbits would provide food for the school as well as a source of income. They could sell the extra rabbits. We all know how fast rabbits can reproduce. Jean started off with 1 male, and 3 females. Soon the rabbits became an excellent opportunity to teach the students attending our school how to care for an animal. Learning how to raise a rabbit, may be enough to rescue that child’s family from extreme poverty.

Our goal at MNM is to help rabbit raising become a sustainable source of income for poor families in the area. As of Jun. 25, 2024, about 7 months after starting the program, we now have 31 rabbits in all and have been able to help 8 families start up their own rabbit raising business. We believe this is one way that God is using MNM to care for the poor and needy in Haiti.

Sponsor Needed

Thankyou!! We have a sponsor!!

In 2023 Michelin Raphael became increasingly ill until he could no longer work to provide for his family. His wife, Dadie, and three daughters, Marjorie (8), Phara (6), and Barbara, are slowly starving as he awaits a much needed visit to the hospital. Too weak to work, Michelin can do little to improve his family’s condition except to go begging. We are looking for someone who could sponsor Michelin for $100/month to enable him to get the help he needs and get back on his feet to provide for his family again.
