PPM365 Haiti

Pastor Edma and his wife have just celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary; they are so thankful to God for his many blessings throughout those 18 years.

The youth of the MEBSH of Merger Church has just celebrated its 8th anniversary. Pastor Edma is so thankful to God for eight years of victory!

Pastor Samson and his family are doing well. The end of 2022 was not so good because of health issues, but now he feels much better. The church is going well, after a busy end of the year, lots of activities, now they are planning this year. With that being said, they have a big project that consists in sponsoring about 30 youngsters from the area of the church who are doing nothing to send them to trade school to give them skills in (plumbing, electricity, computer, decoration, etc.) so that they can take care for themselves and their families. The study will last one to two years and cost $300/per year per student. So Pastor Samson is counting on your prayers and support of any kind.

We've been able to link arms with our partners in Haiti as they persevere through challenging and dangerous times in their nation. We've been on calls with them, encouraging them to keep going as we continue to look to the Lord for hope.

Pastors are experiencing incredible hardship as the country goes through a humanitarian crisis, but God is aware and sees His people. PPM365 is grateful to be a part of His care for his pastors and churches. We've stayed connected and ensured our pastors have their basic needs met - safety, shelter, and food.

See a response from one of our PPM365 partners:

I thank the Lord who knows all things and has made provision for us.  I also thank you, yourself whom God has chosen to be the facilitator in these times. Who knows if it was not for these times that God raised up this program? Please let them know that we are sending our words of thanks.

How can a pastor lead a vibrant church that impacts a community for Christ when they can’t find clean drinking water? Or purchase food and basic supplies for their family? Or travel without encountering road blocks of burning tires? 

This is the reality that the people of Haiti are facing today. 

PPM has committed a staff team to ensure that we are doing what we can to love, support, and resource the local Haitian churches within our PPM365 network. We have staff on the ground who are specifically focusing on 11 churches in 11 communities. We are committed to leveling up our support of these churches through our partnership with individuals like you. 

Because of the crisis impacting the nation of Haiti, Emergency funds have been distributed to our PPM365 Partners. Our desire for pastors to remain true to their calling, steadfast in their work, and ability to continue starts with security knowing that their basic needs will be met.  Food, water, shelter, and gas are not promised in Haiti in the current situation.  PPM365 creates an avenue for aide to be readily available for these trusted partners. 

Join us in praying for these partners as the continue to shine the Light of Christ in the darkest of times. 

Haiti PPM365 Program Manager has been in consistent communication with partners all over the nation. The situation in Haiti is extremely difficult. 

Violence has crippled the country. Basic necessities are 5x as expensive as they were just months ago. Gas is scarce, if not impossible to find. Businesses and banks can only open for a few days at a time, if at all. Cholera is spreading rapidly through the cities. Families live in fear, not knowing what each day might hold.

The Church is still alive. Our partners respond with sorrow and joy together. The hardships are real, but the overwhelming truth that the Lord is with them gives them peace. 

Haiti was impacted by Hurricane Fiona in recent days. Flooding and winds caused damaged in some of our partner communities. Internet has been inconsistent and the gas crisis is continuing.

As much as possible right now, PPM365 is supporting our partners across the nation with encouragement and aid. As power is restored and safety permits, the in-person and consistent care will only increase. The Church has been passionate and on mission through it all.  Nothing can thwart God's redemptive plan for Haiti, this country we hold so dear.

International staff representing Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Haiti, Kenya, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, and USA gathered together this week to be equipped to build up, encourage, and assist the local church on a global level. 

We believe healthy pastors lead vibrant churches that impact communities for Christ.

What an amazing thing when the Church loves, supports, and spends time building up one another. 

After leading his church on their own mission trip in Haiti, Pastor Edma planned an intentional stop and blessed Pastor Gens' church with his teaching and preaching. 

When the Church loves like Christ does, there is nothing more beautiful.

Another PPM Global trip is happening this week in Haiti! A mission team from one church in Haiti has traveled to another area to join arms and serve alongside the local church in that community in the name of Jesus. 

The ministry continues in this nation. The Church and the Gospel cannot be stopped. 

There is currently a Haitian church on mission. This is the group of missionaries from one of the Haiti PPM365 Partners. They are serving in a very remote place called "Grand Rivière," ministering to people there, especially the children. They walked 6 hours to get to that location because of car inaccessibility. Please keep them in your prayers as they spread the Gospel.

What an amazing time yesterday meeting with some of the pastors we have served alongside for many years.  These are five of our Haiti PPM365 Partners. PPM365 allows us to intentionally care for these cherished churches 365 days a year.

We were able to meet with Pastor Jean yesterday, and what a wonderful meeting it was! He is one of our Haiti PPM365 Partners. 

We have missed the encouragement our Haiti mission teams brought to the churches and communities, but the ministry continues! We are committed to building up, encouraging, and assisting the local church. God is faithful, and He is still moving in Haiti.

PPM365 is a continuous effort to build up, encourage, and assist the local Church 365 days a year. By sponsoring a church’s involvement in this program, pastors and ministry leaders will receive local support, training, and encouragement, leading transformed communities in the name of Christ. Three areas of focus work in unison to accomplish this intentional effort.

Church: The Local Church is the catalyst for reaching our world for Christ. It is God's master plan - to use His people to love and serve our world, sharing the Good News of grace by faith to all people.

Pastor: An investment in a pastor is an investment in the Church. When pastors are healthy, both spiritually and physically, they are most able to lead a healthy, vibrant congregation

Community: Communities benefit when the local church is thriving. From support and care to meeting physical needs; a healthy Church is vital to a community.

We estimate it will cost PPM $2400 per year ($200/month) to fund one partner in this program. A sponsorship allows for donors to personally support the care and ongoing ministry in a location.

What an incredible time of training and establishing PPM365 in Kenya.  Program Managers from here in Haiti, Nicaragua, and Kenya met together with our PPM Global Director in Kenya for a week of equipping and ministry! 

Now it's time to launch PPM365 in Haiti! 

The PPM Program Managers and PPM Global Director are here, and we are getting trained in and equipped for what God is calling us into!
