Northwest Haiti Christian Mission was founded on forging lasting relationships between North Americans and communities in Northwest Haiti. We place the Church at the center of that relationship, using it as an instrument for evangelism, relief and development. Our goal is nothing less than changing Haitian communities forever by sharing the love of Christ and meeting basic human needs.

But sometimes in overseas ministry, we sell ourselves (and the nationals) short by not using our God-given creativity. We limit our efforts to merely handing out “stuff” and going home, or by assuming we know the best ways to help.

At NWHCM, we want to make sure we are investing the hard work and service of our mission teams in the most effective ways to help Haitian communities. That’s why we’ve launched the Neighbors Project, an exciting initiative that helps focus our ministry efforts to make sure we’re meeting real needs.

The Neighbors Project is about teaming up North Americans with Haitian communities. It’s a partnership where Haitians and North Americans share physical and spiritual resources, with the mutual goal of bringing people out of spiritual, physical, economic, and social poverty.

Simply put, it’s about loving our neighbors in the global Church in the same way we love our own churches.
