Haitian Christian Foundation

We'd love to see in Charlotte/Rock Hill for Saturday night's Haitian Christian Foundation Dinner!

It's wonderful to see our Haitian brethren encouraging each other and building strong marriages at the Couples Seminar.

With your prayers and donations, you are sending a message to our Haitian brethren: "You are not alone". https://mailchi.mp/adcad318ee6e/they-are-not-alone

Please pray for Haiti and all the Christians there. The situation in the South is terrible. There are rumors in Cap Haitien that the gangs move north to ravage the rest of the country.

Here's a glimpse of the CBT students, directors, and staff in chapel. (It's a little wonky at the beginning, but give it a moment). What a heartfelt worship!

If you're in the Abilene, Texas, or Norman, Oklahoma, areas, we're hosting a Haiti Dinner near you! The one in Abilene is this weekend and the Norman one is on the 23rd. Both are at 6:00 p.m., and there's both free. RSVP is required, so let me know if you'd like to attend. More details in the comments.

Two of the CBT students, Brother Victor and Brother Gideon were not able to travel back to school this week because of violence in Martissant. Please pray that things will calm down so they can travel safely soon.

A new congregation met for the first time in Broussard on the north coast of the southwest peninsula of Haiti. Four souls were baptized after this week's evangelistic outreach. Here they are taking the Lord's Supper for the first time. Praise God!

Wonderful news! Here's your first look at the 9th Class of the Center for Biblical Studies after their first chapel. Praise God that they arrived safely.

The 9th Class of the CBT starts Tuesday! Please pray for the students as they travel.

Good News from Haiti Haiti-ministry Supporter, I'm writing you today to ask you to be in prayer.  In spite of all the challenges, the Haitian Directors and staff are getting ready to begin the 9th class of the CBT.  It's harder to get fuel and supplies, and everything is more dangerous, but they are committed to conti...

We are so grateful for all the amazing generosity you've shown to feed Haitian Christians during the ongoing suffering in Haiti.
Dedicated preachers have delivered your help directly to families in need.

It's Giving Tuesday. Please consider giving to this urgent need and sharing with your friends.

Haitian Christians need your help. They need food. Prices are skyrocketing as gangs cut off regular food and fuel supplies.

Your gift of $25 will feed an entire Haitian family rice and beans for a week. You can feed a whole congregation for $750.

I hope you will send a special gift to help them today. Our graduates will personally deliver your help to Christians who are struggling to survive.

We're hearing from Fonrose and Richard, two of our Haitian Directors, that things are very difficult in Haiti now. Food supplies are running low. Please pray for the people of Haiti and the politicians who are making critical decisions about Haiti.

CBT Graduate James Simeon and his congregation Broward Church of Christ hosted the 12th annual Haitian Christians Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Haitian church leaders and members from several states attended the conference. In the seventeen years since his graduation from the CBT, James has faithfully trained many people as Bible students. We're so grateful that God has used James as a leader in the Lord's church in South Florida. Your investment in James when he was a CBT student continues to bless the Lord's church!

The preaching school in Haiti has a big need...and a big opportunity. Can you help?

To keep operating even when fuel is scarce, we need to power the campus with solar. Some generous folks will double your donation in December. Click the link to donate.

Double Your Donation to Haiti! Haiti-ministry Supporter, I am writing to ask for your help with a big need for the preaching school in Haiti.   The fuel shortages and gang violence make it hard keep the Center for Biblical Training running.  But there are still people eager to hear the gospel, so we must adapt. To keep the CBT...

When you read the news about Haiti and Haitians, it seems the news is always bad. But you and I know that isn't always the whole story. God is there listening to prayers and working.

At last Friday night's Haiti Dinner in Abilene, David shared some of the really wonderful things that God is doing in Haiti. I want to remind you of those things too, and I hope it brightens your day.

Please pray for Haiti!

Last night, the president was assassinated and his wife injured. The head of the supreme court, his successor, died of Covid recently. Thousands of people have been driven out of their homes in gang-controlled areas of Port au Prince in the last month. Some of our graduates there now homeless.

Please pray that God will intervene on behalf of the suffering Haitian people.

Great news from the recent seminar and gospel meeting in Duverger: 5 people were baptized. The students from the Center for Biblical Training encountered a young congregation eager to hear the word of God and share with their neighbors. CBT graduates work Edouard and Mivoy started this congregation. Vernald is a current student in training to join this work.

I wanted to share with all of you that churches of Christ all over Haiti will be fasting and praying on Friday, April 2nd for God to intervene in the situation in Haiti and bring some level of peace and security back to the nation. The daily kidnappings, robberies, political demonstrations and such have reached a level that has become very disheartening and troubling to all.

The brothers on the CAEC committee asked me to share this with those here in the US who have a connection and love for the Christians in Haiti and invite you all to join in this day in whatever way you choose and seek God's help for our friends and brethren who are living in very troubled times.

Please feel free to share this with any others you know that might like to join us.

Thanks all,
David Dirrim
