BUILDING THE BODY OF
CHRIST
What does this look like? To us it looks like: rebuilding buildings broken by the earthquake & time, providing videos to encourage people’s faith, and supporting the Sunday afternoon kid’s club.
Rebuilding Wesleyan Churches started in July in the hardest hit areas of the quake.
Rebuilding also started at the Fauche Wesleyan Church torn down last year following hurricane
damage. Watching the walls rise encourages each church member as we look forward to not only
continuing the current ministries but the ability to expand in the bigger, new facility. Wesleyan
church attendance throughout Haiti swelled following Haiti’s post-quake revival and remains up.
The video ministry experienced growth though the addition of a second projector as well as
finding a source of French Christian videos. Videos are not only exciting to children and adults
who have had little exposure to television or movies but are also a great way to reach those who
cannot read.
Sunday afternoons on campus fill the area with joyful children’s voices. Some days over 200
children meet to watch a video, sing, recite verses and play games. Many cannot attend school and
don’t feel comfortable in church because they lack nice clothes or shoes. Between the fun, snacks, and
celebration of birthdays, there are lessons about the Lord, how to relate to others, how to help the
community, and live healthy. All taught with the hopes of improving the lives of these dear children.
