All of these children are available to be sponsored through the Nazarene Church in Haiti.

They will all have a web page and information about the child so you can select a child to bless.

Thanks to the Western Light Nazarene Church Sunday school for packing these boxes.

We are trusting God to open doors of opportunity with the Nazarene churches in Barbados to get these children sponsored.

The Church of the Nazarene, often referred to as the Nazarene Church is an international evangelical Christian denomination that began in the Wesleyan tradition of the 19th century Holiness movement.

Church of Nazarene Jacmel, Haiti, seen below the work in progress.

Its mission is "to respond to the Great Commission of Christ to ‘go and make disciples of all nations’ (Matthew 28:19)," or, more succinctly, "to make Christ like disciples in the nations." This frames the global mission of the denomination.

The Church of the Nazarene did not begin ministry in Haiti until 1948.

By 1950 Haiti had its first missionaries, Rev. and Mrs. Paul Orjala. Their emphasis in ministry quickly focused on developing new church leaders. Rev. Orjala wrote, “Our only hope is going to be in developing a new generation of young people.” To this end they began a Bible school program as soon as they were competent in the Creole of Haiti.
