A 7.3 earthquake struck the southern portion of Haiti this morning. We have been in contact with our leaders in both Port au Prince and Lagonave and they along with their families are safe with no damage. Definitely areas of damage near the city of Jacmel. Please pray for the Haitian people.
A constant theme of prayer for the Island of Haiti has concerned the political upheaval of the past three years. Last night, Jovenel Moise, the president of Haiti, was assassinated and his wife critically injured. This signifies a more extreme undermining of the safety and security of the whole country in days to come. Thankfully both our students and teachers are safe. ![]()
Please join us in prayer for reform and a restoration of peace in Haiti. Please also pray for Jovenel Moise’s family and all those affected by his death.
Despite the many challenges Haiti continues to experience, we are grateful to report that HFL schools continue to thrive by the grace of God. From Pre-K to soon to be HFL graduates, many thanks to those who have stood with us as partners in ministry. Our focus will remain education and job creation. Please continue to pray for all our students and families in Haiti.
Please pray for Haiti. The continual political upheaval has left the people of Haiti upset and weary. The concern about the spread of Covid19 still lingers as well.![]()

Thank you for your continued prayer and support.
As our world keeps struggles with sickness that keeps spreading, we ask our readers to be especially aware of the areas that are particularly vulnerable. In Haiti, there have been 33 confirmed cases of COVID19 and 3 deaths. Many Haitians do not have the resources like shelter, medical expertise, or funds to be treated. We pray that the spread of this virus will be minimal. Thankfully, our Lord has thus far preserved LaGonave from COVID19. There have not been any diagnosed cases on the island and we are keeping in contact with our team to keep you up to date. ![]()
Please join us in praying for the protection of our staff, students, and their families. We are administering food distributions to help the families who need it most. We thank all of those who have made us able to help the beloved people of LaGonave and ask for your continued support during this increasingly difficult time. God bless.

Life on La Gonave island remains calm, but many of the people are struggling. The cost of living remains high and malnutrition issues are on the rise. Please pray for stability in this beautiful country. Pray for our local leadership, teachers, students, various partners in ministry there, along with all Haitian leaders within the challenged government. Thanks so much to those of you have partnered with us to help. Friend and child sponsor Cary Tobey captured these incredible images of the beauty that is La Gonave just a few days ago.
