Urgent Hunger Situation In Haiti! (03/20/24)

“Haiti is among the hungriest places in the world and has one of the highest levels of chronic food insecurity with 22% of children chronically malnourished. Around 4.3 million people are in need of urgent assistance.

The crisis also affects children’s rights around health and education, and protection from child labour, sexual exploitation, child marriage, teenage pregnancies, as well as limiting their access to menstrual hygiene products.”

There are an estimated 500,000 citizens displaced in Haiti without food and day to day necessities (water, hygiene items, over the counter medicines). The need is urgent! Thank you!

Continued Prayers For Haiti 3/01/2024

 Thank you for your prayers, donations and heart felt concerns for our Haitian brothers and sisters.

 Conditions continue to degrade as January deaths from the gangs reached a new high with over 1,000 citizens murdered according to the Miami Herald. Montas our staff member in Carrefour says they have lost over 200 neighbors from gang members since the first of the year. 

         According to French News (VOA)
…”says that some 45 percent of the population is now food insecure, including 250,000 children suffering from acute malnutrition.”

 That makes Haiti "one of the countries in the world with the worst food crisis," the plan states. 

 “Last month, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was "appalled" by the violence in Haiti, adding that it was "difficult to overstate" the crisis.” 

 Schools are still closed and our staff only leave their homes to receive their salary we send monthly to gather what few groceries they are able to find.  
                     What can we do? 
 We are asking for all to continue lifting Haiti up in your prayers daily. Please pray for intervention by the UN to stop the gangs, for healing for those displaced from their homes, for those who have lost loved ones and for peace and stability to come to Haiti. 

”He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭4‬ ‭

Blessings, Mike & Lia

Happy 2024! We would love to bring you good news about our neighbors in Haiti but this is not the case. All schools are closed because of the violence and travel dangers. 

We received an email from Mission of Hope, Haiti asking for prayer for Haiti. Amplify Haiti - SOH Ltd. wants to join Mission of Hope in the February (Feb 5 - Feb 29) prayers for Haiti! 
 

What is going on in Haiti? 

Political Impasse

• Since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021, Haiti has been in a state of political deadlock. The current government faces opposition from different groups in Haitian society.

Escalating Violence and Gang Control
The country is grappling with rising gang violence, which has extended to rural areas beyond Port-au-Prince. The shocking rise in gang violence has included executions of civilians and sexual violence against women and children. This violence underscores the urgent need for international intervention.

“Overall, the situation in Haiti is marked by a prolonged political stalemate, escalating gang violence, and concerns over the government’s role. International efforts are underway to help address these issues alongside the Haitian Government, but they face significant challenges.”
 

The main topics of prayer are listed below.

Below is the link to the pastor’s prayer for this week:

Additional points of prayer include peace, protection, provision, a stop to evil, the Gospel to advance, hearts to turn to Christ, safety for peacemakers, boldness for the church, perseverance for believers, and hope for the future.

”Answer me when I call to you, O God who declares me innocent. Free me from my troubles. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬
