Humanitarian & Geopolitical Crisis

Since 2019, the humanitarian crisis in Haiti has escalated continuously and wreaked devastating havoc on the country. Gang control as well as political corruption has all but halted travel into and throughout the nation. Starvation, abject poverty and violences of all kinds have taken over.

We have not been able to travel into Haiti since 2018. At Sister Phyllis’ discretion, we have heeded her instruction and remained stateside.

What is the status of the Sister Phyllis and the Mission Center?

As of spring 2026, we are SO thankful to share that Sister Phyllis, the children, the Mission Center & associated buildings and the hospital are all safe. By the mercies of God, the people and the property have been kept from invasions, violence and destruction. Many times over the last few years, gangs and threats have come very close, but God has protected and delivered. While the gang noise can be heard nearby, it has not crossed the threshold of the property.

Our Primary Focus of Help

In light of the current and ongoing crisis, the primary tangible focus of our ministry has been to supply rice and basic necessities via monetary support. We are still able to secure rice in Haiti that can be picked up and moved throughout the country periodically. Although perilous and less often due to gang activity, God has made a way. Also, via alternate shipping and driving routes, some basic necessities have been able to be sent in.

Ways You Can Help!

We have learned over the years that Sister Phyllis and the Body of Christ in Haiti is very resilient, even in these dire situations. God has brought much fruit and life out of their suffering. That being said, the most important thing we can do is continue to pray. Pray that God will breakthrough in the gang activity, violence will be dealt with and chaos would surrender to order.

Secondly, if you are able to give monetarily to support the supply of rice, Sister Phyllis and the people of Haiti would be very, very grateful. The price of rice has increased and transportation has become quite costly and dangerous. However, God has helped and we have been able to continue supplying, albeit less frequently.

As Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:26, “I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.” We are not without hope and just “at the fate” of the gangs and crisis. We trust that God will bring breakthrough even in dire situations and that He will ultimately be glorified.
