Open Your Heart to Haiti Flag & Map
Ministry at Work in Haiti
And Jesus said to them, "Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the Good News (the gospel) to every creature of the whole human race.— Mark 16:15

Open Your Heart to Haiti is a ministry headed by Pastors Constantino & Ester Donatien.

City: Port-de-Paix, Haiti — located in zone 4 on the north-west part of the island

Population: 100,000 people

A dedicated staff of teachers, standing here at right with Constantino and Ester, minister and teach to classes like the one above.

The ministry consists of 19 schools with 12,000 students. Ten of the schools have out-patient clinics that service the schools and the surrounding community. Haitian Full Gospel Out-Clinic dispenses over-the-counter medications. Direct Relief International Inmed Americares is also dispensing generic medications. The Rotary Motorcycle Club of Novato and USAID assists through United Nations. Church people also supply over-the-counter medications, personal hygiene items, school supplies and barber supplies such as hand clippers, scissors, razors and combs. Also donated are sewing materials — fabrics, threads, needles and sewing machines.

OTHER ASSISTANCE

Financial Assistance is always needed to help ship donated materials to the schools and clinics. Progress is being made. Each and every student must have a uniform to enter private school (church) or government school. The government requires parents to pay for their children's education. Many children are not in school because of the lack of family finances.

LONG RANGE GOALS

• Establish a children's orphanage
• Provide a Hospitality House to house incoming missionaries
• A discipleship Training Building to train disciples and missionaries fro a year's program
• To provide medical clinics to all remaining schools
• Incoming cash finances to pay for teacher's salaries, children's tuition and workers not covered by sponsorship
