“Preaching His gospel and serving His people in Jacmel, Haiti.” – Rev. Marky Kessa, First Evangelical Lutheran Church of Jacmel, Haiti The enduring partnership between Lutheran Church Charities and Ministry In Mission and Rev. Marky Kessa, First Evangelical Lutheran Church of Jacmel, Haiti, has fostered significant change in the lives of countless children and families in Haiti. Through your past generosity, we have been able to bring uplifting Vacation Bible School experiences to hundreds of children, ensuring they not only receive spiritual nourishment but also vital meals during challenging times. Your contributions have been instrumental in providing emergency food assistance during periods of civil unrest, making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need. Now, Rev. Marky and his wife Sydney (pictured), who have dedicated their lives to serving others, find themselves in need. Sydney is currently battling a serious health issue, and it is imperative that we come together as a compassionate community to provide the immediate assistance they require. Please read a plea for support from Jaclyn Rychel, Founder and President, Ministry In Mission: Dear Haiti Missionaries and Supporters: Our faithful partner Sydney Kessa (Pastor Marky’s wife) is in need of our immediate support. Sydney has been the anchor holding our projects together for over 15 years. Without her, Ministry in Mission could not function in Jacmel, Haiti. She is now in need of our support through prayer and funds to provide medical care. Recently, Sydney received a diagnosis from a physician in the United States that she has a mass in each breast. Following the advice of her oncologist, she is scheduled to undergo biopsies to determine further medical procedure. Unfortunately, with no health insurance in the U.S. and the lack of medical professionals in Haiti capable of performing this specific surgery, Sydney has decided to travel to Mexico City, where her sister is a physician and can assist her in navigating this critical journey. The estimated cost for her round-trip airfare and the necessary biopsy surgery is $7,000. To put this in perspective, had she pursued treatment in the U.S., the expenses would have soared to approximately $11,000. Many of you, our devoted Haiti supporters, have kindly offered to help in times of need. Now is the time to rally together and extend that support to Sydney. Please pray for the best outcome. Thank you very much, Jaclyn Rychel Founder and President, Ministry In Mission Let us come together as a community to uplift Pastor Marky and his wife Sydney during this challenging time. Your contributions, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in her life and her ability to receive the care she urgently needs. Additionally, your prayers will provide her with the strength and comfort necessary to face this journey. Together, we can embody the spirit of compassion that defines our mission at LCC. Thank you for being part of this vital effort! Comments are closed.
