“ When the body of Christ joins together, respecting and appreciating one another’s differences, we demonstrate the unity and love that flows from the work of Christ in our lives.”
“This year I was blessed to team up with Haiti Awake and travel to Haiti with their 1st official mission team! The opportunities they are giving the Haitian people are incredible! I can not wait to minister alongside them again. Thank you, Haiti Awake, for such a life-changing experience and allowing me to make lifelong friendships.

““HaitiAwake opened the door for me to have my heart’s desire by allowing me to witness, serve others & build meaningful relationships.”

PRISON MINISTRY
Haiti Awake is in the process of beginning a prison ministry. Teams can help with prison ministry by gathering supplies we can share with the prisoners, raising funds for beans and rice, prepping materials we will take, and potentially going into the prison with members of Haiti Awake.
Children's Home
Polo does a tremendous job walking alongside these children and their caregivers. His love and support over the last year has helped them progress physically, socially, spiritually, and academically. Teams can assist him in this calling through classes for the children, games with the children, gathering supplies they need, building new furniture for their home, and sharing life with them.

“We care for orphans not because we are rescuers, but because we are the rescued.”
ENGLISH CLASSES
Haitians are eager to learn new things - especially the English language. In our desire to build relationships, we are promoting English classes in our home and at the children's home so that Haitians and Americans can feel comfortable in communicating with one another.
““Your presence speaks volumes.”
What would it look like if we considered a healthy presence—rather than our knowledge, resources, or ideas—the most important to bring when arriving on the field?”
Bible Schools
Bible schools can be large - at an orphanage or a church or a school. Or Bible schools can be small - in our home or the children's home. Mission teams are a big part of our Bible school program.
Several organizations have invited us to do Bible schools at their schools, churches, and orphanages. We are excited about visiting different locations and sharing the truth of God's Word with young hearts and minds as we continue to build relationships.
Bible school is an essential outreach in our own community.
Teams conduct VBS-style outreaches in a number of places.
We are always honored to partner with area churches in their on-going ministry.
“When properly designed, short-term trips are an opportunity to learn from, encourage, and fellowship with believers around the world in the context of long-term engagement with God’s work, focusing on understanding His body and our role in it more fully.”
