Haiti is facing one of the most difficult periods in its history. Yet even amid violence, poverty, and uncertainty, God’s love continues to be shared through the work of NACCC global mission partner Love Worth Sharing.

In their March newsletter, missionaries Jim and Cindy Owens describe the daily reality many Haitians face: finding enough food today to survive until tomorrow. For many families, survival is the immediate goal.

Haiti has struggled with instability since the 2021 assassination of Jovenel Moïse. The country has not held legitimate elections in more than a decade, leaving its government largely unable to respond to growing crises. Armed gangs now control much of the capital city of Port-au-Prince, spreading violence and intimidation throughout the country.

According to the United Nations, Haiti is experiencing a “catastrophic, multi-layered humanitarian crisis.”

  • More than 5.7 million people face acute food insecurity.
  • 1.4 million people have been displaced by gang violence.
  • Shortages of food, fuel, and medical supplies continue to grow.

Children are among the most vulnerable. Hundreds of thousands live in areas under gang control, where trafficking and exploitation are significant risks.

The challenges for mission work continue to increase.

The Federal Aviation Administration has extended its ban on flights between the United States and Port-au-Prince through September 2026 because of ongoing instability, further isolating the country’s capital.

There is also uncertainty surrounding potential restrictions on money transfers from the United States to Haiti. Currently, money sent to Haitians in Haiti via individuals and organizations in the US accounts for about 20% of Haiti’s economy. Such restrictions could affect families across Haiti, and ministries like Love Worth Sharing that rely on funds originating in America to support staff, feeding programs, and medical care.

Despite these obstacles, the ministry continues. Local staff supported by Love Worth Sharing faithfully share the Gospel with children and families each week. Through feeding programs and medical outreach, they provide both physical care and spiritual hope.

As Jim and Cindy Owens write: “The only hope that Haiti has is Jesus.”

The ministry of Love Worth Sharing is made possible through the prayers and generosity of churches and individuals like those within the NACCC. Right now, that support is especially important.

Please pray for:

  • Ministry staff serving faithfully in Haiti
  • The children and families of Haiti who are struggling to survive each week
  • Peace and stability in the country
  • Continued provision for feeding programs, medical care, and outreach

Even in the darkest circumstances, God continues to work through faithful servants who share the hope of Christ.
