Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere; however, the ministry opportunities are abundant. Go with Cross Church as we partner with a ministry center called Joy House to minister to the people of Haiti. According to Hope for Haiti, over 50% of Haiti’s population is school age and the literacy rate is less than 50%. Approximately 70% of the people live in poverty, with an average annual income of $400 per year. 15% of all children in Haiti are orphaned or abandoned. Joy House has literally impacted thousands of lives and serves two orphanages and four different area churches.

On this particular trip there will be opportunities to work the Esther Ministry which focuses on discipling teen girls and young women. We desire to see the young ladies of Haiti grow spiritually to have the tools necessary for the road that lies ahead of them. There will also be opportunities to minister to the children of Joy House through VBS type activities. If you love teaching, there will be ample opportunities for Bible teaching; as well as, teaching English as a Second Language. Will you consider making a difference in the lives of Haitians?
