 "We will run out of funding for our feeding program this month!" Dr. Nancy Swisher, Vice President, Mission Haiti Board of Directors  The crisis in Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world, has reached a heartbreaking level, with millions facing starvation and dire circumstances exacerbated by rampant gang violence. As highlighted in a recent report by the World Food Program (WFP), 5.4 million individuals are struggling daily to secure food for themselves and their families. This figure represents one of the highest proportions of people experiencing acute food insecurity globally! At LCC, we are unwavering in our commitment to provide life-saving assistance to those in need in Haiti during these tumultuous times. Thanks to your steadfast support, LCC has made significant donations of food to Mission Haiti, directly impacting the lives of those in desperate need. Your generosity has provided nourishment and hope to countless families, demonstrating the profound difference that community support can make. The need for food is dire! Dr. Nancy Swisher, Vice President, Mission Haiti Board of Directors, and Lophane Laurent, Field Director, provide a recent update painting a heart-wrenching picture of the struggles faced by families who are not only grappling with hunger but also the emotional toll of despair and uncertainty.  The situation in Haiti remains perilous. Mission Haiti has continued our food distribution in the Port-au-Prince area through local churches. This area is most affected by the ongoing gang activity. We use a small team and a discreet process so as not to attract the attention of the gangs. God's comfort and words of prayer are given to all who attend - a ray of hope in the darkness. Our current funds for food distribution will run out in October. We are hoping and praying for more financial support from Lutheran Church Charities so we can continue this vital work. Any support LCC could provide would allow us to feed the hungry and share God’s word of hope. Thank you for your consideration. May God's message of hope and comfort continue to shine through you and the work of Lutheran Church Charities. Dr. Nancy Swisher Mission Haiti  It is hard for me every single day to give an update about the situation in Haiti. On October 3, a Haiti gang massacre left 70 dead in the rural town of Pont-Sondé in the Artibonite region setting many houses on fire, forcing over 6,000 to flee. My heart is broken because I can’t go there to help my brothers and sisters who are in bad situation and they really are in need. Please continue praying for Haiti! May God bless your families and your ministries. Serving Jesus Christ with joy! Lophane Laurent Mission Haiti
