Mission and Program Overview

Mission

We are a christian church and we offer a christian training program, which is for anyone who is serious about following jesus. We encourage them so that they may continue as serious christians. A large part of our operation is to fund our missionary work in the impoverished country of haiti, wi. We have been in haiti since 1977 and are recognized as an ngo by the haitian government. We operate 2 orphanages where we are the sole support of almost 200 children and in addition we conduct weekly feeding in the more remote mountainous regions outside port-au-prince. We take in children who are in desperate situations. Many of them were very close to death when we took them in. Most of them become very healthy children. Although some do have handicaps from being so malnourished. Our goal is to raise the children to become responsible haitian citizens and hopefully christians who will in turn help their country.

We are a Christian fellowship, united by our mutual faith and hope in Christ. Our aim is to spread the Gospel to all, and to find others who are of the same mind and hope. We also understand it to be Gods will to remember the poor. (Jms 1:27; Gal 2:10).

IRS990/MissionDesc0We are a Christian church and a large part of our operation is to fund our missionary work in the impoverished country of Haiti, WI. We have been in Haiti since 1977 and are recognized as an NGO by the Haitian government. For many years we operated an orphanage there, taking in cases of urgent need and providing for them into adulthood. In recent years we have transitioned from the orphanage into supporting children and their families in their own homes, supplying them with food, education and medical care. In addition to this, we have a feeding program, providing food to needy families in the rural mountain regions above Port-au-Prince, as well as to many smaller Haitian-run orphanages. We also have two Christian group homes for young adults, most of whom grew up in our former orphanage, where we are helping them to finish their education and learn trades in order to transition to adulthood. These young people are also instrumental in operating our other works in Haiti, such as distri

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0TEACHINGOur purpose has always been, as the Bible says, that grace may extend to more and more people. For this reason, we offer bible studies and encouragement in person along with a bible study ministry online. We provide an opportunity for anyone who expresses interest in a new life in Christ. We also preach the Gospel in small groups in various cities with a street preaching ministry. We believe that it is Gods will to come to a correct understanding of the scriptures to live accordingly.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0In 2023 the US Govt opened the CHNV Humanitarian Parole Program to Haitian citizens to enter the US for a period of up to 2 years to live and work lawfully provided they have a sponsor in the US. Our church has resolved to participate in this program due to the rapidly deteriorating conditions in Haiti where our mission work is located. Several of our church members have elected to sponsor various ones and the Church is willing and able to act as a co-sponsor. The Church will assist in providing safe and appropriate housing for these people. We will also assist in providing basic living needs such as food, clothing, and medical care for the duration of their humanitarian parole period. The Church will also provide for continuing education and/or assistance in finding employment once they have received work authorization through the government.
