“Form 990, Part 1, Line 1 - Organization Mission or Significant ActivitiesIt is accomplished by providing education to the saints at La Gonave that they may examine the scriptures themselves, and lay a solid foundation for training the next generation of church leaders. This education will allow those saints not called to be pastors, elders, or deacons to have a solid Christian education. This will be a foundation from which they may become leaders in their communities and better, more productive citizens of La Gonave in particular, and Haiti at large. Our hope and prayer is that through this ministry, children will be taught Gods word and will become literate individuals who can lead and teach those that come after them from generation to generation, and the hopeless children whom Matt Baugh wept over will no longer be without hope, but rather, as promised in the Book of Jeremiah, they will know that the Lord has plans for their welfare and not for calamity, to give them a future and a hope. We know there is hope for La Gonave and for Haiti.”
