End of Year Campaign
Can I be real with you? Sometimes I worry we might not always be here for such a time as this. Haiti is a mess and it’s getting harder to keep up with the needs. NWHCM has ministered in Haiti for 45 years, building churches & schools, caring for the sick & disabled, feeding the hungry & forgotten, providing jobs, and offering hope. But, the last 5 years have been among the hardest. Quite frankly, we are struggling to keep it all afloat.
WHY?....
1) Haiti has become too dangerous for mission teams to come help, which makes it much harder to build new donor relationships. Most people who support our ministries have served here in person. Chances are this describes how you got connected to NWHCM.
2) Another huge problem is how ridiculously expensive everything is. Back when prices were “normal,” we barely had enough money to buy all the food, fuel, clothing, school supplies and medical supplies we needed. Now, we really don’t have enough to make ends meet.
3) Last year, Haitian mandatory wage scales went up A LOT and significantly increased the payroll burden for our 225 Haitian employees. We’re overjoyed to provide well-deserved raises, but the tremendous strain on our budgets makes it hard to keep everyone employed.
BUT I believe God will lead us out of these dark shadows. I have faith He will provide what we need to thrive, not just survive.
