Haiti

Urgent Prayer Request from Belade for his beloved Country May 2024

Hi dear beloved in Jesus, 

Wish your whole body is the same as your soul. Our country is in a hard time that no one would imagine. As humans, without any power, we can’t change it, but as Christians we know someone who can deal with it. This is the reason why we, in Haiti, send you this prayer request so that we can have more Christians in front of the throne for the same cause at the same unique time.

1st. Pray for security. May our country would have no people shot in the country.

2nd. Pray for food security! About 400,000 people in Port-au-Prince are homeless and run away to save their lives; leave home. Most of them have their homes burned by gangs. Just because of gangs! Many among them up there passed away because of food and microbes. No hospital! A lot of drugstores are burned as well!

3rd. Pray for our political situation. Pray that we have a stable government that is not in business with gangs. 

4th. Pray also for MEPHISH Christians organisation that we can purchase enough property that can produce enough rice, not only to feed those under our care but also to feed those who who leave Port-au-Prince and settle themselves around our churches. 

James 5:16 mentions: “Prayers of the Righteous are powerful. 

And Ro. 12:12 asks us to persevere in prayers. 

Please pray and intercede in front of the Lord’s throne as much as you in the behalf of our country and MEPHISH! Much love for you all!

Under His wings: your prayers companion: Belade

In 2003 Rick travelled to Haiti for the first time. A friend had told him about a Haitian pastor, Theirry Belade, who was working in the remote mountain communities in the southwest of Haiti and who was in need of help. Miraculously they were able to find each other and a partnership began. 

Pastor Belade and his MEPHISH organization have established many churches, most in very remote areas. Some of these communities now have schools and provide care for orphans. Regular conferences are held to bring the communities together for fellowship and teaching.  

We have been able to supply reliable transportation for Pastor Belade who travels many miles through rugged terrain to reach these communities. On a monthly basis we provide support for practical needs. During a time of food shortage, we partnered with Ontario Christian Gleaners to ship thousands of nutritious meals to those in need.  We have helped them purchase good farm land near irrigation. Crop production supplies jobs, food, and income. The old saying goes, “Give a man a fish and feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime.” 

The strong community spirit and gratitude of the Haitian people spur us on in helping this country known as the poorest in the Americas.
