News & Events

As far as fatalities, we confirm the loss of one student and there is student that is unaccounted for. Between staff and faculty, there is at least four that had their house either collapsed or seriously affected. A staff member lost her husband.

We held an important meeting to assess the conditions and see what are the next steps. We determine that we will do our best to open the School back again on 1st March. There are a lot of things to do for this to happen and we are working toward that.

We have a very willing faculty. Those who have been contacted so far are very supportive of the idea to try to save the semester.

So please pray that:
1) We can find some means to help the 5000 people living on campus with some food and water. Pray also that we can help them to move on. Their moving off the campus is a key factor in having school again. The campus residents minister to them through worship service and Bible classes for the children.

2) We can provide financial aid to assist the students for the rest of the year. We will most likely tell them to contribute what they can. We anticipate we will receive very little from the students and from churches in Haiti. About $215,000 in gifts would get us to finish the year. God controls that too.

3) We can assist the students with counselling.

4) We can find/buy tents to be able to hold classes and conduct some duties.

5) We can be healthy to keep going. Imagine the emotional and physical toll. But interestingly, after making the decision to attempt open in March, most of us begin to regain strength and a sense of direction.

6) We can actually receive help that is promised.

7) We can operate in a context that is not too volatile. There are a lot of thieves on the streets right now and a lot of desperate people.

8) We can be a shining light to the churches and the nation by example and by interviews we give on radio.
