• Family Friday •

Meet Marie Rose, one of our Zel Haiti seamstresses, and a few of her beautiful children! Marie Rose has worked for Zel for 3 years and is like a mother-figure among the Zel family.

She is married and has seven children: 4 that are biological and 3 that have been adopted. Before working for Zel, Marie Rose used to sell used clothing in the local market.

She is a skilled seamstress and has a treadle machine at home so she can pick up side jobs as she is able. Marie Rose (more commonly known as Madame Jonas within Zel) says she is grateful for the opportunities her employment with Zel has given her to care for her children and family.

We love the heart and soul she pours into our program in the ways she cares for the other Zel woman. We are grateful she is a part of our C4C family!

There is a lot of information we do not know and may never know regarding the recent events in Haiti. There is a lot of tension and uncertainty looming in the air, but our staff and the beautiful Haitian people continue to put one foot in front of the other, hoping for and working towards a better future and restoration of their nation.⁠

This is what we are about at C4C - providing jobs for 160 Haitians so that they can care for the daily needs of their families and never have to give up their kids due to poverty. We pray a special blessing over Alvin and his family!

Today Haitians commemorate the tragic loss of President Moïse after his assassination on July 7th. This mural was painted a few blocks away from his home and translates to “good crossing.”

During the funeral today, First Lady Martine Moïse stated, “They assassinated Jovenel but they can’t assassinate his vision.”

We pray alongside Haiti every day for healing and restoration. 🙏🇭🇹

“For He will rescue the poor who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper. He will have pity in the poor and helpless and saves the lives of the poor. He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their lives are precious in His sight.”

The hardships, the trials, the pain, the hurdles we jump over, the hard work we put in; it’s all worth it when we have a goal to provide hope and opportunities for kids like these. They are our inspiration and motivation! 💛

Thank you for praying alongside us and supporting our work for nearly 8,000 kids across Haiti!

We had plans last Wednesday to pick up our food container, but with the recent events we were unable to pick up the food.

We were so grateful to receive the news that the food got delivered to our main site yesterday! 🙌 Good work team!

We spoke with one of our crèche employees yesterday who shared about how heavy this past week has been for her and the Haitian people. This is what she had to say:

“I am so very sad about the situation in the country after President Moïse’s assassination last Wednesday. Every time I think about what happened I start crying. But I know that God is making us stronger in our relationship with Him despite the circumstances in Haiti and I believe He can heal us and our country. I have been so afraid because of the recent events, but after going to church I feel so much lighter and more at peace.”

Thank God for the peace He gives us during this grave time and for the opportunities we have to greater rely on Him during some of the hardest seasons we endure. Thank you for continuing to pray for our staff, the children and families we support, and for the healing and unity of Haiti. 🙏🇭🇹

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33

On this Family Friday, we ask that you please pray

On this Family Friday, we ask that you please pray for families across Haiti. Most businesses remain closed, people are fearful to leave their homes due to the insecurity, cost of living continues to be on the rise, food supply remains low, families are having a hard time putting food on the table, and much uncertainty remains.

Haiti is in a very fragile position, but we trust that God is watching over and comforting each and every person there. Praise to God, our staff, kids, and villagers remain safe. 🙏

Oh beautiful Haiti, how deeply we love you and you

Oh beautiful Haiti, how deeply we love you and your people. We will never stop praying for you and doing all we can to continue providing the opportunities you well deserve.

Haitians have been in the midst of far too much unrest, uncertainty, and unfairness, but we will always see the resilient, joyful, loving, incredibly hard-working, peaceful, God-fearing people that make up this country.

We are humbled by our staff’s response to the recent events, as they drop to their knees in prayer and trust that God will continue to be our Guide. He always has greater power over evil.

We do not know what tomorrow holds, but we unrelentlessly continue to work towards a better Haiti. 🙏🇭🇹

Our hearts are heavy this morning - Haiti needs our prayers, please pray especially for the safety of our staff and our villagers.

President Moise was assassinated last night, pushing the country into further turmoil at a time of political instability and increased violence. The airport and borders are closed and the prime minister has declared a "state of siege."

We do not know what is to come, but we trust that God has his hands over the entire situation. 🙏

The hurricane has passed and the sun is shining! We are so thankful the storm did not hit Haiti as bad as they had anticipated. However, our southern villages did experience some flooding and crop damage but thankfully everyone is safe! Our crèche kids were not phased, they are troopers! 🙌

In 2020, our Kenscoff pediatric medical clinic saw 2,184 total patients, filled 3,757 prescriptions, and conducted 3,373 lab tests. We also saw 72 patients in our dental clinic.

We are grateful for our 12 clinic employees who have worked so hard and have adjusted to the many changes during the past year. Covid is still on the rise in Haiti, and we continue to take precautions within the clinic.

Happy 4th everyone!

“I believe in America because we have great dreams, and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true.” – Wendell L. Wilkie

Today we give gratitude for our freedoms and we also press on to grant these same freedoms and opportunities for the oppressed. May the coming year be a year of unity and love for each other, near and far. 🙏🇺🇸🎆

Please pray for Haiti as they brace for Hurricane

Please pray for Haiti as they brace for Hurricane Elsa today. Our southern villages and much of the country was devastated by Hurricane Matthew 5 years ago, and Hurricane Laura destroyed many crops, livestock, and homes just last year in the 4 southern villages we support.

Our main site in Kenscoff is not expected to be hard hit, but please do pray for our villagers and for peace and safety over them. 🙏

• Approximately 100,000 children under the age of 5 are malnourished.

• At least 30% of the overall population is food insecure.

On top of this, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the already weak economy and political instability in Haiti.

There is currently a gas shortage in the country, and many roads are unsafe to pass in different regions, but God continues to provide for the 5,100 kids we feed in the 14 villages we support. We know that His plans can never be thwarted, and we pray for the nourishment of these children in body, mind and spirit. 🙏

Our mission which forms the foundation to the work that we do >>> Uplifting Haitian communities from survival towards stability and on to sustainability through our work in: orphan care, education, feeding programs, medical / dental care, church / community development, livelihood training, and economic programs for women – all which demonstrate and share God’s love.

Madam Pierre is our guesthouse cook (currently working as a crèche nanny due to the lack of teams in Haiti), and has 3 beautiful growing children!

Despite not being able to perform her normal work, she has been so flexible and gracious in doing what it is we have asked her to do. She is full of God’s joy and light, we look up to her giving and willing spirit!

Ever wonder what it’s like to do laundry for 25 kids without any washing machines? Now you know, well at least a snapshot of what it’s like!

Bless our 3 washers who work so hard every day scrubbing all of the laundry for our crèche! It’s not an easy task, but they do it with a whole lot of love.
