Campus Crusade in Haiti - What will we be doing?

All 150 students/staff (50 per session) will live on the Chambrun property along with 20-25 Haitian students, some of whom will serve as translators.  Each day teams will go out to various ministry sites.  Regardless of the work our students do, they will be shoulder to shoulder with the Haitian students.

Work/Ministry our student teams will engage in:
  • Food and hygiene kit distribution
  • Jesus Film showings – evangelism in the surrounding villages
  • Assisting doctors, nurses, and pharmacists in the medical clinic; sharing Christ with those who wait to see a doctor or nurse
  • Setting up solar and wind powered water purification units
  • Complete infrastructure (tents, cots, latrines, Mercy Chefs kitchen, as needed) for teams that will follow (The US Campus Ministry is preparing for at least a 3-5 year presence in Haiti.)
  • Evangelism and discipleship with college students and outreaches to universities (some schools are beginning to hold classes in tents)
  • Working with Haitian families, assisting them in recovery and ultimately to function without reliance on aid
  • Building shelters, one of the greatest needs, as most Haitians cannot or will not return to their homes
