Haiti
Haiti
Even before the 2010 earthquake, Haiti was the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Today, rubble still lies in the streets and many families live in tents.
Corruption, crime, and the black market prevent them from rebuilding the country on their own. False gods and voodoo lure people deeper into darkness.
But the Church is rising up.
Haiti is experiencing a spiritual revival right now like it has never seen before. The Church is becoming the driving force behind Haiti's ongoing rebirth.
You can be part of this key moment in Haiti’s restoration. Will you go?
