Haiti

Christians of Haiti face many challenges as they strive to be the body of Christ within the instability and poverty that affect their country. Our Haitian partners have prioritized their ministry and outreach efforts in the fields of education and health. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) supports the Christian witness to the people of Haiti through partner church relationships and mission personnel working within the ministries of our partners. We work alongside our Haitian partners in medical facilities, agricultural and environmental education, literacy, vocational training and community-based development.

Because a large number of mission groups visit Haiti each year, PC(USA) churches are learning a great deal from our Haitian partners about the power of uniting as Christ’s church. This learning runs from facing global issues that acerbate poverty and struggle, to recognizing the importance of mutual ministry and respect, to sharing in the strength of faith and praise.
