Haiti update

The last few months have seen ministry in the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Columbia and Haiti. We would like you to focus your prayers on the country of Haiti. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere and, with its spiritual legacy of voodoo still a significant force, the spiritual needs are great. OMS has currently engaged in a wide range of ministry activities, each of which has much potential to deeply transform the lives of the Haitian people.

It was exciting to see the medical centre function. It treats the physical needs of over 50,000 people a year while also attempting to share with them the hope that is in Christ. The radio station 4VEH broadcasts to all Haiti and beyond, sharing that salvation is found in Christ while also providing educational programming which facilitates stability and growth in basic areas of Haitian society.

The seminary is actively focused on the spiritual formation and biblical training of young Haitian Christians that will soon give much needed leadership to the Haitian church. The OMS team is a good size, growing and filled with talented people called of God to make a difference. There is indeed much to be excited about when we prayerfully contemplate what God wants to do through OMS in the this county of much need.
