Libere 2012: The Haitian Churches

Since we began our partnership with Pastor Odanis Joseph, we have come to know the leaders of all 13 churches that have been planted through his leadership over the past 15 years.  Every one of these churches have an orphan school with a superintendent and team of teachers who provide education for the orphans at no expense.  Because of the pervasive structural damage, many of the churches are not able to house the children at the church building, though these churches taken several of the orphans into their homes.

Below is the list of the churches and cities along with the total number of orphans in each school.  Please add these churches and leaders to your prayer list as they shoulder an incredible burden of raising up a new generation of Haitians without any family structure or support.  As I have heard with my own ears, it is their earnest hope and prayer that God would raise up this generation of young people to transform Haiti for the glory of God.
