Greetings on this Giving Tuesday! 

Politics in Haiti – A recent article from apnews.com said, “Bloody coups, brutal dictatorships and gangs created by Haiti’s political and economic elite have long defined the country’s history, but experts say the current crisis is the worst they’ve seen.” A new prime minister was recently installed and Kenyan soldiers continue to attempt to provide aid to the country. It’s believed that 85% of the capital is controlled by gangs and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced from their homes. Needless to say, it has been an incredibly hard year for Haiti without any signs of improvement. As easy as it is to be discouraged, we remain hopeful because in Christ we can find peace in the knowledge that He is in control!

Hoedown for Haiti – With the help of our amazing donors and volunteers the 2024 Hoedown for Haiti was a success! We were able to raise over $12,000 for New Life Children’s Home!
Thank you to everyone who participated whether through donations, bidding on the auction, giving of your time, or attending the event – it really means so much to us! A special thank you to our event sponsors…

Loaves & Fishes Food Program – For the last year and a half we have been running the Loaves & Fishes program to provide meals to our community of Charrier, Haiti. We have been able to provide close to 30 meals and we’re hopeful to continue this program for as long as possible. Previously, we would have our Christmas meal fundraiser this time of year, but instead we will continue to raise funds for the Loaves & Fishes Program. We’ve been able to feed as many as 850 people per meal and our community of Charrier have expressed their deepest gratitude. Would you consider giving toward this program? Click here for the link to give a meal to the community in Charrier, Haiti.

Children’s Home – Our three kids – Claudelson (18), Pedline (12), and Asmalie (11) are all doing well. We are so thankful that they all are in good health and that the girls are doing very well in school. It’s been amazing to see their growth over the years. We’ve watched their faces fill out with proper nutrition and each time we get to see their faces on video calls, we’re thankful to know they are each being well taken care of by our awesome staff in our absence.

Thank you to everyone who supports this ministry and helps us provide for the daily needs of our children.

School Sponsorship Program – We are very thankful that even
though the situation in Haiti remains unstable and unpredictable, the
children in our sponsorship program have been able to attend school. It is an
incredible blessing to our families to be able to send their children to school.
It creates a sense of normalcy in a time of so much fear and unknown. We
currently have just over 50 children in the program.

**A note to our sponsors – Because of insecurity, Zacharie hasn’t been able to
travel to Haiti as regularly as needed so we are continuing to gather updated
photos and letters from our children. We hope to send them out to you
before the end of this year!

Our Mission’s Directors, Zacharie & Stevie Estime, want to extend their gratitude to all who have prayed for them during these last few months. Stevie’s health is improving however she isn’t out of the woods yet, so they ask for your continued prayers. We also mentioned in our last newsletter that they needed to find a new home. We are happy to share that they were able to find a house and moved in November. Thank you for joining us in prayer over their living situation!

Thank you all for your love, prayers and support! Blessings to you and your families this Christmas season!
