A letter from our Board Chair
Dear Friends,
I am excited to share the impact of your generosity and the many ways God is working through you and the ministry of Haiti Teen Challenge.
Haiti Teen Challenge is unique, it is working, and it is rebuilding a nation from the inside out.
Because you have continued to stand with us, this uniquely Haitian-led ministry has stayed open while many ministries have left the country. Young men and women are being delivered from gang life, addictions, and trafficking. They are finding a new identity in Christ and being equipped to serve their nation. Haiti Teen Challenge has become a strong voice in the national and international dialogue on how to rebuild Haiti. Why? Because it is working.
Unified in vision, Haiti Teen Challenge and Rendez-vous Christ Church recognize that God has called them to pray fervently and be catalysts for change for their nation. They are spreading the story of Jesus to millions across Haiti, breaking the cycle of fatherlessness, working together to sustain and mobilize Haiti Teen Challenge graduates, and teaching others about the importance of godly choices, governance, and accountability. This unique partnership is inspiring collaboration among Haitian leaders in churches, ministries, universities, and other organizations that might not otherwise work together.
It can be hard to find hope for a nation facing such great hardship when all we read about is the daily pain and destruction. And yet, scripture is filled with stories of failed nations being transformed in one generation. The book of Acts begins with the arrival of the Holy Spirit and the transformation of thousands. Within 40 years–one generation–the Gospel was brought to the entire known world. For this reason, Haiti Teen Challenge is steadfastly committed to “building godly leaders of integrity,” knowing that this generation, through the power of the Gospel, can rebuild Haiti for God’s glory.
A transformed Haiti is possible. I hope you will be encouraged by the results you read in our 2022/2023 Impact Report. They reflect God’s power, protection, and provision; our team's courage and perseverance; and the outcomes of your investment.
Thank you for your powerful prayers and generous support. We are exceedingly grateful for you.
