Dear friend, I am speaking as a Haitian who knows and understands the historical setting, the religious proclivity, the socio-political climates, and the environmental landscape of my native land: I have never been so convinced that Emmaus is vital for the redemption, salvation, and transformation of Haiti.  Haiti desperately needs a group of young people influenced...Read More

The Lord helped me to graduate in December, and here I am! I still live in Cap-Haitian, and I work in the Children’s Ministry at my church, and I continue to lead worship. I live with my family again, and I’m still taking some English classes. When I think about where I was four years...Read More

I wasn’t from a Christian family at all…my mom served the demons, and my father was a witchdoctor. I was in the Haitian Catholic Church and school growing up, and one day our Sunday School teacher was having us sing for a program, and we were worshipping all the different members of the nativity, and...Read More

“I was born in Labrier, not far from Emmaus, and I was born into a family that was truly vulnerable and not Christian. The way we grew up, we just didn’t have any capacity. My father worked hard in the garden, but often we didn’t have any extra money for school, and I had to...Read More

My family wasn’t a Christian one. Throughout my life I had different people come and talk to me about Jesus, but I never accepted Him through them. As I grew up, though, I felt God speak to me, reach out to me, in my dreams. My mom died when I was young, and worry became...Read More
