We are very grateful to God, to all our friends, supporters, partners, and to all our board members. We also want to mention that we are appreciative for Mike & Jean Fisher’s long time commitment to Bethanie Evangelical Mission of Haiti. Spiritually speaking, it's been a year of great harvest and great blessings. We have seen 1,205 souls added to the Kingdom of God, 489 new Christians receive water baptism, 32 students graduate from Bible/Vocational School and 200 children graduate from kindergarten. To God belongs the glory!

May grace and peace be multiplied to each of you today and every day. As you know on January 12, 2010, the Island nation of Haiti was hit by a severe earthquake, damaging and destroying thousands of homes and buildings. Of the more than two million affected survivors, 1.3 million are still displaced and living in settlement sites.

Soon after the earthquake, I was contacted by numerous people who were aware of my missions work to Haiti over the past 23 years, asking what they could do to help. Since that time, I have focused nearly 100 percent of my time to bringing much needed aid to the people of Haiti. I honestly believe this is my assignment and I am humbled that God has chosen to use me in this capacity.

Stephen, from Pennsylvania, Says the Haitians Showed Him That During His February 2011 Trip. Before we left for Haiti, I told my wife that I wanted to find those who have overcome the disaster; those who are strong; the survivors.

The city of Port-au-Prince was very much alive. People were everywhere. Little stands setup along every street. Buying and selling. It was like the worlds largest flea market! Everything they did was done the old-fashioned way – by hand. They put in a lot of hours and work very hard for very little. They have many obstacles but continue to live their lives.

It was after four grueling days of heat and humid weather in Haiti that I found a time of solace. After teaching via two interpreters at the Seminary and Technical School of Bethany, and wondering if everything I said was translated correctly, I obliged myself to a time of rest after my last class. This trip, which was designed to exclusively teach pastors and ministers in the bible seminary, greatly differed from past trips where I was a part of a team that built church benches, school desks and storage shelves for the orphanage.

“I Wish There Would Be No Problems in Haiti”, says 12 year-old Adlynn. Looking at the pictures we had taken while in Haiti, I felt I wanted to write what was on my heart. In Port au Prince, it was a horrible mess. I couldn’t believe how much trash there was. Every waterway I saw was filled with junk and trash.

I thought, “How could these people get clean water?” If they drink the dirty water, they could get cholera. It’s frightening to think that people have died from this. And then for me to be in Haiti and see them drinking it firsthand. Lord, I pray they don’t get sick.

Amy, From Pennsylvania, Reflects On Her Most Recent Trip: Now that I’m home, and back to our American ways of hustle, busyness and craziness, I sit and reflect on my experience in Haiti. I ask for God’s thoughts to pour into my heart. I have been to Haiti before. Yet this trip had a totally different effect on my heart. Because this was my family’s first trip to Haiti, I so wanted to share with them what was on my heart ever since my first visit to this country.
