PRAY FOR HAITI: August 2020

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9)

Praise God for the generosity of Rocklane Christian Church (IN) which helped to provide 600 food kits that were recently prepared on our campus in Peredo. These kits included oil, beans, rice, and spaghetti. More than 600 families throughout Belle Anse, Kapotyer, Grand Bois, Seguin, and Peredo were blessed with kits.

Praise God for the reopening of churches throughout Haiti including our Emmanuel Christian Churches! We rejoice as RoRo and Eline were able to gather with ECC in Port-au-Prince to celebrate.

Praise God for the dedication of our hospital staff at Peredo Community Hosptial. The doctors, nurses, and administrative staff continue to meet the needs of the surrounding communities with love and grace. We are so grateful for the many resources the hospital is able to provide.

Praise God for our Child Sponsors who make educating 1,600 children and employing 141 school teachers and staff in Haiti possible. We believe educated children are the future of Haiti and we could not do it without our incredible child sponsors.

“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Luke 11:9-10)

Pray for all 9th and 12th-grade students at Emmanuel Christian Schools and across Haiti who will be taking their government exams on August 10th. Pray these students find great success in their preparation and test results.

Pray for Emmanuel Christian School students, teachers, and staff as they start a new school year. We pray for a successful school year where each student can grow in knowledge and in their relationship with Jesus. We pray also for safety, health, and protection over all Emmanuel Christian Schools, staff, students, and families.

Pray for the continued health of RoRo, Eline, JoJo, and Grace as they work to minister and meet the needs of our brothers and sisters in Haiti. We thank God for their health and pray for God to bless them with protection.

Pray for our dedicated Pastors as they return to in-person worship and bring a bold message of hope to their communities. Many people are dealing with daily crises and are hungry for the peace only Christ can bring.

Pray for the HCO board and our US team as we round the corner of 2020 and start planning for 2021. Pray for wisdom, clarity, and understanding in the direction God provides.

And pray with us for Every Child this month:
