Linda, who hundreds of you met and loved during your Jacmel mission trip with us from 2010-2014, receives food a second time for her family during COVID-19.

COVID-19 has caused severe food inaccessibility and rapid rising inflation in Haiti. Due to these issues and a drought, starvation is a reality among the Haitian people. 

Here’s a COVID-19 related updated from an article on nacla.org:  

“The virus is now in all 10 departments, and medical authorities warn that the country’s few COVID-ready hospitals and triage centers may soon be overwhelmed. 

Lack of and fear of testing mean that thousands go undiagnosed and that hundreds, or perhaps even more, have died-untested and uncounted-due to a combination of factors that are as much political and economic as they are related to the weak public health system.”

Please join us in prayer as we ask God to remove the virus from Haiti and the world.
