 Haiti is considered the Western Hemisphere’s poorest country and, according to the Portland Press Herald, doesn’t have any resource to fight back the coronavirus epidemic as the virus starts to spread inside the densely populated nation of roughly 11 million people.
Haitians rushed to buy food, gas, soap and face masks last Friday after the announcement of two imported cases of the coronavirus was made. According to the United Nations, some 35% of Haitians lack basic drinking water services and two-thirds have limited or no sanitation services, making it extremely difficult for people to regularly wash their hands as recommended to deter the spread of the coronavirus. Lutheran Church Charities (LCC) continues to work through our Haiti Mission Partners, Ministry in Mission and Mission: Haiti to send emergency funds to Haiti during the current health crisis. Jackie Rychel, Ministry in Mission, reports: I’m in Haiti right now waiting for American Airlines to take me home. This population cannot manage social distancing. They live in houses smaller than most of our bathrooms. They shop in very crowded open markets and ride in packed tap-taps which are converted pick-up trucks with benches in the back. Haiti just reported their first 5 COVID-19 cases. Lord have mercy! Please prayerfully consider making a monetary donation to enable Lutheran Church Charities to continue to send emergency funds to Haiti to help provide food for Haitian adults and children. Thirty dollars will buy enough rice, oil, maggi, canned fish, spaghetti, and soup to feed one person two meals a day for three weeks.

Thanks to great partners like Lutheran Church Charities, last week Ministry in Mission purchased, packed and delivered food in the mountains of Haiti. We had enough food to feed 50 families or 200 people; 450 showed up. Never enough!

Ministry in Mission partners started the new year by dropping in on several shut-ins delivering food. They visited and prayed with their neighbors and brought hope for a better year in 2020.
 The prepared food was cooked at a local trade school in Les Cayes, Haiti. Information Technology Trade School (ITT) was started by Lionel Legoute, a local man wanting to help his community. Starting as a computer school, it now branched out into cooking classes. The students helped prepare food for a community meal. Ministry in Mission is grateful, thankful and blessed to partner with Lutheran Church Charities to help our brothers and sisters in Haiti in this time of need.

We continue to be grateful for your support and the blessings shared by the donors of LCC. Last week we were able to distribute food to more than 400 of the neediest families in 3 communities in the Compassionate Name of Jesus. Pastors and church leaders brought bags of rice, oil, seasonings, spaghetti and canned fish to the elderly, infirm, families with children that were the most in need in their communities. So far, we have provided food to more than 1500 individuals in 12 churches/communities. There has been a week or so of calm but we are still in a humanitarian crisis as fuel and food are still extremely expensive and many people have been either unable to work or have not been paid for up to 4 months. We will continue to seek out the most in need and do all we can to provide food and compassion. Because of Christ, Helen M. Roenfeldt, Mission: Haiti

The pictures below are from the food package distribution at the community of Bien Aime, in the mountains almost two hours above Port-au-Prince. Over 100 packages of rice, oil, spaghetti and canned fish were given out to the most vulnerable in the community. Pastor LaVenture thanked God for the generosity of all those who stand with them in this time of terrible distress. Fuel and food prices are still very high and many people have not worked or been paid much, if anything, in the last six months so there is still very little money for food. As of the distribution of the last few days, Mission: Haiti has distributed two weeks of food to more than 1000 families and individuals in nine communities in the Name of Jesus Christ. Thank you again for your support and encouragement. Because of Christ, Helen M. Roenfeldt, Mission: Haiti

Your generous donations have allowed LCC to provide scholarships for children living in the tent city in Port-au-Prince, Haiti so that they can attend a Lutheran school. One of the things that the school provides is a hot meal for the children every day. For many of these children that is their one good meal of the day. Last year, food kits containing rice, beans, oil, spaghetti, and milk were distributed to the children and their families so that they could continue to eat daily during the Christmas break. The current humanitarian crisis in Haiti has made providing food for the children and their families all the more urgent. We received the following request from Lophane Laurent, Field Director, Haiti: Good morning everyone, I want to thank you for continuing to support our poor children to go to school again this year. You know our difficulties, trouble in my lovely country. Sometimes our kids spend one or two weeks at home but they never lost more than that, we are so happy because since yesterday everyone can go back again to school without a problem. If it is possible for you, can you please add more children to receive the food package we share with our 40 kids in December? I know how LCC supports my people to get food in this terrible moment. Thank you so much and may God bless all of you. Have a great day with God. Blessings, Lophane
Please consider a donation to provide a Christmas present of food for the Haitian children. $35 will provide a two-week supply of food for a child and their family. LCC is asking for your help to provide a Christmas food kit for 100 children.

"Thank you Lutheran Church Charities for helping me support my village in Haiti. Ministry in Mission and Lutheran Church Charities touches many Haitians as I am a witness. They were able to help 50 families who are in need of food. Some of the families have no one to care for them; 85-year-old Icilia has no one to care for her except her neighbor when they can, 70-year-old Jeanette has no one to care for her and she has no job. I personally want to thank all of you who support Lutheran Church Charities for supporting the Haitian families. May God bless you!"

Thanks to your generous donations, LCC is able to continue to send financial support for food to our mission partners. Jackie Rychel, Ministry in Mission reports: "Haitians living in a small village have had no access to food as the streets have been blocked for weeks to the larger cities. The poorest walk to markets but even that is unsafe in these difficult times and often the markets are not open. Ministry in Mission has trusted partners such as Lutheran Church Charities that are able to support our Haitians partners that can bring food in to these starving villages. The process has to be done quietly and with great planning as the situation is so desperate that moving through the streets to deliver food is dangerous. Those receiving the food are grateful.

Your Much Needed Donations Help Provide Food to the Most Vulnerable in Haiti Humanitarian Crisis11/5/2019
The situation in Haiti is still dire and at this time we can only send money to help our brothers and sisters.
We have distributed two weeks of food to over 1200 families/individuals from seven different churches/ communities and one orphanage. The people who have received the food were determined by local pastors or elders as the most nutritionally vulnerable whether they were church members or not. One elderly gentleman in a rural village told our Field Director Lophane Laurent and Security Director Noel Duffault that he had not eaten in three days and he was praying for an angel to bring him food because he was too weak to get up to find someone who might share a little food with him. He told them that they were surely the angels he had prayed for. Both of these men have lived in Haiti all their lives and have seen and experienced hunger, but they both were greatly moved by this elderly man. Lophane and Noel are doing their best to find those who are the most in need and get food to them safely. We would like to express our deepest thanks to all those who are supporting the people of Haiti through prayers and resources. Please ask people to not weary of doing good, these gifts of love and mercy do make an eternal difference." Mission:Haiti Facebook post from November 4 reads: "This is Pastor Mario, aka 'The Happy Pastor' because he is always smiling. He has a congregation and orphanage in a very difficult part of Port-au-Prince. The children are some of the 38 he has in his orphanage. They were very grateful to receive food from Mission: Haiti. We were very blessed to be able to help.This food will feed the orphanage for several weeks as well as the elderly and the most needy in Pastor Mario’s area. We want to thank Tim Hetzner of Lutheran Church Charities and all the donors that are making it possible for us to help so many people!"
