This Family Friday we feature some of the kids of our Zel Haiti seamstresses! These faces are a large part of why we do what we do.

We provide 170 Haitians a living wage across our programs so that they can better provide for their families and be given hope in a country where greater than 80% of the people do not have access to consistent work.

E has many giftings, and building things is one of them!! He was given these assembly pieces and instruction manual with a bunch of different building options a couple of years ago, and it has been by far his favorite thing to do! 👏

You can tell the way it lights him up. We love this kid and we love to see him full of joy! 💛

Sustainable agriculture in multiple locations. 4 thriving remote village schools. 5,100 bellies filled 3-4x a week in our feeding programs. Medical and dental care available to the Kenscoff region. Stable jobs to keep families together.

The church also gathers here for worship and various services throughout the week, it really is the center of the community and we are grateful for the unity in the body of Christ in Kenscoff!

Happy 15th Birthday E!! E is the oldest boy at the crèche and sets a good example for his “brothers and sisters.” He is full of strength, courage, and compassion and we are beyond thankful for the special boy God has created him to be.

The beauty of Kenscoff 😍 This is the nursery of Jorbe, our Crèche Manager, and his family! When he is not doing paperwork at the crèche or running around playing with the kids, he helps his dad transport and care for their plants! This business has run in his family for a few generations.

“Look on my affliction and my distress
and take away all my sins.
See how numerous are my enemies
and how fiercely they hate me!
Guard my life and rescue me;
do not let me be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.
May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope, Lord, is in you.
Deliver Israel, O God,
from all their troubles!”

• Family Friday • only 1/2 of the children in Haiti have the privilege of attending school. Our hearts go out to all of the parents working around the clock to make the little income they can to pay their children’s tuition.

Our 4 village schools allow 430 children to gain an education and give them and their families hope for the future. Contact Brie@chances4children.org for more information!

The fuel shortage in Haiti continues. Not due to t

The fuel shortage in Haiti continues. Not due to the lack of fuel, but security issues as gang members block roads and access to supplies at the port in an effort to get the prime minister to step down.

Many hospitals have had to close their doors due to lack of fuel for generators, many cell towers are not running, businesses are being closed (or have limited hours) including banks and grocery stores, many schools are closing down, and much of the population in Port au Prince are losing access to water as most pumps cannot run without fuel.

Please join us in praying for access to fuel and for the health and protection of the Haitian people. They have been through so much and many are seeing the worst of it in the current conditions they are living in. We pray every day for heart transformation for the gang members and wisdom for the leaders of Haiti. 🙏

Pastor Sylvain is married with 4 kids and has past

Pastor Sylvain is married with 4 kids and has pastored the Desdunes church for over 7 years. We recently interviewed him and he explained "God continues to take care of our community in these challenging times. The kids would be very sick if it was not for the feeding program because food is getting more and more expensive and work is harder to find. We celebrate and sing praises to God for the food he provides for the kids in our program. We pray for everyone who supports us and we thank God for you all."

Pastor Sylvain had surgery recently and they also discovered a tumor in his body. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy. We spoke with him recently and he is not doing well. Please pray for his healing and for continued provision for the kids and families in our Desdunes village.

A huge congratulations to Dr. Muscadin, who works in our medical clinic, and his wife for getting married! What a beautiful couple!

We are so grateful for Dr. Muscadin and the tireless work he puts in to treat kids from around the region in our clinic. He brings a lot of positivity and knowledge to C4C. We wish him and his wife many blessings in their marriage! 🎉

Happy Birthday to our Crèche Director, Papi Natha

Happy Birthday to our Crèche Director, Papi Nathan!! What a gift this man is to C4C. He is full of love for our crèche kids, his family, and most of all God. He is dedicated to serving our kids and staff, and he is like a fatherly role model to the children.

Please pray for his safety and protection as he goes around to get work done for our crèche and files paperwork for the adoption process. It is not an easy time to get around Haiti, but he remains faithful to his work.

We pray many blessings over him in the coming year, thank you Papi Nathan for all you do for C4C and kids across Haiti! 💛🎉🇭🇹

• Family Friday • Eliancy is married and has 7

• Family Friday • Eliancy is married and has 7 kids, ranging from 2 years to 24 years old. She is a participant in our 0% interest microloan program, purchasing cows to raise, butcher and sell the meat. Her and her husband also have a garden in Kenscoff where they harvest leeks and onions. They have owned their business for about 7 years.

11 years ago, someone burned her family’s house down on purpose. Despite losing almost everything, Eliancy, her husband, and their kids rebuilt their lives, working hard to reconstruct their home and start their farm and business. Currently, they rely on selling their beef in Petionville, but with the gas shortage and dangers of traveling down the mountain, they have had to temporarily halt their beef business and focus on their farm.

Life in Haiti is hard. And it’s getting harder. But we continue to ask God for wisdom and thank Him for taking care of Eliancy and her family and the other business owners we support.

We have chosen to not take our crèche kids to church on Sundays to ensure their safety, but we have started adding Sunday services at the crèche weekly. These gatherings bring a lot of joy to our kids and staff as they worship God and learn more about Him!

In the meantime, the kids continue to attend school every day. We are grateful their school remains open, as many of the schools across Haiti have had to close down due to safety concerns. These two boys have become great friends and attend the same classes together. They have bonded so much and are now like brothers to each other!

Many people across Haiti are running out of electric power, fuel and communications. A 96-year-old veteran missionary stated this is the worst situation he has ever seen in Haiti. He and his wife arrived in Haiti in 1947, pre Papa Doc, who was known as a ruthless dictator from 1957-1971.

Pray for Haiti as the conditions become more and more dire with gang activity and insecurity on the rise. We always have and always will have hope in our Mighty God, who has complete power over all of the evil happening in Haiti. 🙏

Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Only 50% of children in Haiti have the privilege of attending school. We are committed to change if this statistic in 4 of our village schools. Contact Brie@chances4children.org for more information and ways to support our 450 students and 17 teachers.

We cannot express our love and appreciation for this man! Kiki is our Guesthouse Manager and works around the clock to help provide for all of our programs and keeps everything running at our main site. His birthday was just a couple days ago!

He works extremely hard to ensure kids are being fed and our employees are being taken care of, and he faces roadblocks (literally) all of the time. He is a true hero for C4C, and we pray for protection and blessings over his life. We love you Kiki, happy belated birthday!!!

“This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.” - 1 John 1:5

Today on Halloween, we especially pray for those who practice Voodooism in Haiti and around the world. That’s God’s light would enter the spiritual darkness in their hearts.

Happy Saturday!

3 months of food were securely sent to the south this week to feed 1,515 kids in 4 of our villages. Mèsi Bondye! Thank you Jesus 🙌🏼

Haiti update: We hope and pray every day for the situation in Haiti to improve, but things continue to worsen. ⁠
⁠
- Kidnappings are higher than they have ever been.⁠
- Cell towers are turning off, as there is no feul to run the generators, cutting off access to cell communication for many.⁠
- Gangs have been controlling Port-au-Prince since President Moise’s assassination on July 7th.⁠
- Truck drivers are being kidnapped and roads are being blocked, making it nearly impossible for fuel and food to be delivered. These drivers are currently on strike, and gas is selling on the black market for exorbitant prices. ⁠
- Major hospitals are being forced to close down due to lack of power and supplies.⁠
- Bus transportation has been grounded due to the fuel crisis and lack of security.⁠
- Food prices continue to skyrocket.⁠
- Many banks and businesses are closed.⁠
- We were forced to close down our medical clinic and sewing/artisan center for a few days, and are hopeful we can reopen next week.⁠
⁠
We have to take the situation day by day. Thankfully, there have been some praises in the midst of this time. We were able to restock 3 months worth of food for our southern villages yesterday. The kids and our staff remain safe and provided for. We have a lot of gratitude despite the pain our brothers and sisters are facing.⁠
⁠
We pray unceasingly for Haiti and for God to spread His light in the midst of so much darkness… “even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you” (Psalm 139:12). We know that the battle is already won, and we trust that God is mightily at work in the Haitian people. We continue to pray for transformed hearts, and for peace and justice to reign over Haiti. "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26).

We are still reminiscing on the beautiful night we had with our incredible group of staff, board members, NOH committee members, adoptive families, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters.

We could not have asked for a better evening of reunion, fellowship, and fundraising! Thank you again to all who supported us through NOH and all of the work many of you put in to make it a great success!

We continue to fight for and provide opportunity to thousands of families in the 14 communities we work in. We know that in Jesus, hope is alive and well! Thank you for fighting with us for the beautiful, resilient Haitian people.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” - John 14:27

The troubles of the world seem to grow daily, but we are grateful for the peace God gives, especially in these disheartening times.
