On 12 January there were 90 Haitian college students involved with CCC. Twenty were killed in the earthquake, which claimed the lives of 230,000 others. Every university in the country was damaged and closed. Haiti CCC also has its own humanitarian arm, Nehemiah Vision Ministries, which owns 35 acres in the Chambrun area 12 miles north of Port-au-Prince (PAP) with a church, school of 350 students, an orphanage of 15 children, warehouse being used as a medical clinic, and 10K sq. ft. hospital just starting to be built. Poor, non-electric villages of mud homes dot the area of Chambrun.
The long-range plan includes a model community/area with the Gospel continually going out, people coming to Christ, churches being planted, children educated and sent to college, medical services provided, job training being done, healthy local economy being created. Esperandieu Pierre is Crusade’s National Director in Haiti.
We plan to partner with Food for the Hungry and a network of churches known as SKDE, a Creole acronym for Sant Kretye pou Developman Entegre (Christian Center for Integrated Development). This network was started by Guerino St Simon, the National Director for Harvest (Rekot).
